Possible Causes
Empty or improperly seated water tank, Mineral buildup on ultrasonic transducer or wick filter, Clogged mist outlet, Faulty humidifier fan or transducer
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the humidifier before cleaning or disassembly.
Steps to restore humidification:
- Check water level: Ensure the tank is full and properly seated so water flows into the base.
- Descale components: For ultrasonic models, gently clean the transducer with a soft cloth and white vinegar to remove mineral deposits. For evaporative models, inspect and replace the wick filter if hardened or discolored.
- Clean mist outlet: Remove any mineral crust or dust from the mist outlet and internal passages.
- Verify fan operation: Confirm the fan is running and drawing air through the unit. Replace the fan motor if not operating.
- Transducer replacement: If the ultrasonic disc does not vibrate or produce mist even with clean surfaces, replace the ultrasonic transducer assembly.
Warning: Always use the type of water recommended by Electrolux (often distilled) to minimize scale buildup.
