Possible Causes

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.
