If its on low, it comes out but you can only feel it. If its on high you should be able to see it. If its not working I'd call the manufacturer. Mine never didn't fog.

I had the same problem happen to me. I called tech support, girl was awesome, he had me switch two wires on the transducer to see if that fixed the problem. It didn't so they shipped me a new unti immediately with no hassle

The answer by "brbrigs" is correct! I just received mine in the mail and set it up and there was no mist coming out. Apparently I filled my tank with too much water and it looked like the basin at the base was a huge pool of water. I dumped that out and poured a few cups of water out of the tank. I restarted the humidifier and there is a strong mist coming out now! Try that. I think it'll work.

The oscillator is likely broken. I had the same problem. The fan was working, but no vapor. I called Venta directly and he told me to take the cartridge out and try again. Still got no vapor. He said it was the oscillator. It was just over 1yr old, but I had only used it a total of about 4 mos the previous season so it was out of warranty and I was out of luck. I had one previously for almost 6 years and it worked great. I wouldn't trust this model anymore. To expensive for a one year warranty when so many seem to fail.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

Vinegar and water will generally do it. This Fog Machine although it is marked at 700 is really more a marketing gimmick by the manufacturer than anything else. This machine is marked at 3.9 watt if you read the info on the Amazon web site and yet they call it a "700 Fog Machine". The truly bigger machines generally don't have the clogging problems because they have higher motors equal higher watts. Hopefully, this helps.

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

Just my assessment from here...Make sure reservoir is full, inserted onto unit, turn on with remote, and double check the humidity setting. If the setting is too low, it will not come on. Humidity setting should be set at higher level than the humidity level in the room. Just my 2 cents.

I would make sure the electrical outlet works - plug a light or something in it. If the unit won't even light up, it's defective/broken. If it's the condenser(?) motor that doesn't start, try reducing the desired humidity with the down arrow as low as it will go.

If you hold up a glass or mirror or something in front of the emitting nozzle while it's running, you should see some water start to fog/form droplets on the surface. If not, you might have a defective product. Maybe some part of the water feed is blocked or broken, after the sensor that tells the unit it's out of water.Because the mist is so fine, I can't always see it either, especially below 20% or so. At full power you should definitely see the mist particles. Try looking at it from a side angle in front of a dark-colored surface, or turning off the lights and using the unit's night light.I'm out of ideas!

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly. I've had this issue and cap was not on correctly which did not allow for steam buildup.

You should see the mist immediately. Make sure the rubber stopper is on the body of the unit (the "On" switch), not the top. Next, try spinning the top so that the metal contacts touch those on the body of the unit. The top should go on easily and with a little magnetic pull. If this doesn't happen, it's not rotated correctly. That's all there is to it.

Mine worked as soon as I plugged it in. If you do not feel cool air coming up through the opening in the table, there may be a short in the fan system. This is just my guess.

Make sure you have power cord connected in the "cool" orientation. The cord connects in one way to cool and another way to warm the inside. Try unplugging the cord where it plugs into cooler and turning cord end over.If I misunderstood please give more detail.

I had a similar issue. I took it apart, cleaned out the rotor and siphon tube, and it seemed to fix the problem. The flow control in the siphon tube had caught some algae and quickly plugged up the system.

Make sure the impeller and magnet are properly seated in position. Also check the valve that directs the water flow - spin it to a few different directions to ensure you have water flow.

The same thing is happening to me. I noticed since last night that the fan inside the unit is not working. The vapors just collect at the bottom of the base and stay there. Guess have to open the whole unit and order the kind of computer fan currently used inside that unit.
