Possible Causes

Broken drive coupling between motor and disk stack, Stripped gear in drive mechanism, Disk stack seized by scale buildup, Failed disk drive motor (if separate from fan motor)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and remove the upper housing.

  • Check for binding: Try to rotate the evaporation disk stack by hand. It should turn smoothly. If it is stuck, remove it and clean off heavy scale and debris.
  • Inspect drive coupling: Look at the connection between the motor shaft and disk stack (direct shaft or gear). If the coupling is cracked or stripped, replace the disk stack drive coupling.
  • Gear inspection: If your model uses a gear train, inspect gears for missing teeth. Replace the drive gear set if damaged.
  • Drive motor test: If the fan and disk are driven by separate motors, test the disk drive motor for operation and continuity. Replace the disk drive motor if it does not run.
