Possible Causes

Weak or failing AC adapter, Loose internal power connector to transducer board, Overheating protection cycling due to low water or blocked vents, Partial failure of ultrasonic driver circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before checking power connections or opening the base.

  • Check water level and airflow: Ensure the tank is full and properly seated. Confirm that air vents are not blocked and the unit is not overheating.
  • Test with another outlet: Plug the humidifier into a different outlet to rule out power fluctuations.
  • Inspect adapter and cord: For external adapters, check for kinks, frays, or loose plugs. Replace the adapter if it feels hot or if wiggling the cord affects mist output.
  • Internal connector check: If comfortable opening the base (unplugged), verify that the connectors from the power jack to the main PCB and from the PCB to the transducer module are firmly seated.
  • Replace adapter or transducer module: If intermittent operation continues, replace the AC adapter first. If that fails, the ultrasonic transducer/driver module may need replacement.
