Possible Causes

Fan blade warped or damaged, Fan motor mounting screws loose, Unit placed on uneven or resonant surface, Internal components shifted during transport

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting the fan or internal mounts.

  • Step 1 – Level the surface: Place the humidifier on a flat, solid surface. Avoid hollow tables that amplify vibration.
  • Step 2 – Inspect fan blade: Remove the cover and examine the fan for cracks, missing pieces, or warping. Replace the fan blade if damaged.
  • Step 3 – Tighten motor mounts: Check the screws or bolts securing the fan motor to the frame. Tighten any that are loose.
  • Step 4 – Add anti-vibration pads: Place rubber or foam pads under the unit’s feet to absorb vibration.
  • Step 5 – Replace motor if shaft is bent: If the motor shaft wobbles when spinning, replace the motor assembly.

Properly balanced fans and secure mounting greatly reduce vibration and noise.
