How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before opening the housing.
Steps to fix non-spinning fan:
- Check for obstructions: Look through the grille for foreign objects blocking the fan. Remove any debris.
- Spin test: With the unit unplugged, gently spin the fan blade. If it is stiff or grinding, the motor bearings may be failing.
- Inspect wiring: Remove the cover and verify the fan motor connector is firmly attached to the PCB.
- Replace fan motor: If the motor is seized or electrically open, install a new Homedics humidifier fan motor for your model.
