Possible Causes
Worn fan motor bearings, fan blade hitting housing, ultrasonic transducer resonance due to low water level, loose internal screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before inspection.
Steps:
- Check water level: Ensure the tank is filled to the recommended level; very low water can cause buzzing in ultrasonic units.
- Inspect fan: Open the housing to access the fan. Remove dust, ensure the blade is secure, and not rubbing against the casing.
- Tighten hardware: Tighten any loose screws on the motor mounts and internal brackets.
- Replace noisy components: If the fan motor is noisy, replace the humidifier fan motor. If the ultrasonic module itself vibrates excessively, replace the ultrasonic transducer assembly.
