The humidifier does not produce mist

Now that summer is coming, the air conditioner will be turned on at home or in the office. Although it is very comfortable to stay in an air-conditioned room in summer, there are still many disadvantages. First of all, we will feel very dry, and the lack of humidity is very serious. Some people will have sore throats, and even more serious cases will have nosebleeds. Therefore, a humidifier is necessary, but sometimes the humidifier does not produce mist.

The most important working principle of a humidifier is to produce water mist, which makes the air contain more water molecules, so that the air is no longer so dry. If the humidifier does not produce mist, the humidification effect will disappear. This is also a problem encountered by many people who use humidifiers. Let us understand the reasons below.

1: The humidifier atomizer is faulty.

Solution: Open the bottom cover and check if the fuse is burnt out. If the fuse is good, try to adjust the potentiometer on the circuit board. Turn it a quarter of a turn clockwise and try again. If the humidifier still does not spray, consider replacing the atomizer. Generally, the atomizer of the humidifier is a "metal" disc with a diameter of about 20-30 mm directly below the nozzle. Do not scrape it with hard objects when handling it. Once the metal coating falls off, the transducer will not work properly, which will cause the humidifier to not produce mist.

If the humidifier does not spray or emit air, the biggest reason is that the humidifier is not cleaned and maintained regularly. Generally speaking, it is better to clean the humidifier once a week or so. If the humidifier has wind but no mist, it may be because tap water has been used for a long time. The accumulated scale has caused alkaline to form on the oscillation plate, making it unable to operate normally. Naturally, the mist will be less or cannot be sprayed out.

Generally, there are two conditions for a humidifier to work:

A. The ceramic oscillator vibrates and produces water mist.

B. The fan rotates and sends out the water mist. If the humidifier operates but no mist is coming out, the fan may be faulty. Solution: The fan is stuck because it has not been used for too long. Add some lubricating oil and gently pat it twice to make the fan start turning again.

2. Solution to the humidifier not spraying

The humidifier has wind but no mist. If tap water is used for a long time, the accumulated scale will cause alkaline to form on the oscillation plate, which cannot operate normally. Naturally, the mist will be less or cannot be sprayed out.

Treatment method: Use household white vinegar and add a little salt to effectively dissolve the alkali, and the mist will slowly spray out. Be careful not to use strong acids, as this is not conducive to maintenance and poses a safety hazard.

3. There is a problem with the humidifier atomizer.

Solution: Open the bottom cover and check if the fuse is broken. If the fuse is good, try to adjust the potentiometer on the circuit board. Turn it a quarter of a turn clockwise and try again. If it still does not spray, replace the atomizer. It is a "metal" disc with a diameter of about 20-30 mm directly below the nozzle. This is the transducer. Do not scrape it with hard objects when handling it. If the metal coating falls off, the transducer cannot work properly and the mist cannot come out. It needs to be replaced.

Recognize misunderstandings. The mainstream humidifiers now include ultrasonic humidifiers and purification humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers use ultrasonic high-frequency vibrations to atomize water into ultra-fine particles of 1-5 microns, which are then sprayed out through a pneumatic device and evenly diffused into the air, thus achieving a humidification effect. This type of humidifier sprays out water mist.

If your humidifier does not spray or emit air, it may be because you do not clean and maintain it regularly. Generally speaking, the cleaning and maintenance cycle of a humidifier is about one week. Treatment method: Use the special cleaning agent provided to clean the sink, transducer (oscillator) and water tank, then add water and it can be used. Note that it is best to add cold boiled water for the first time after cleaning, otherwise the calcium in the water will condense on the ultrasonic generator.

Humidifiers are now very popular, and there are many brands of humidifiers. You should be careful when choosing and choose good quality ones. If the humidifier does not produce mist during normal use, you should find the reason in time. The above are the most common reasons. It is important to clean and maintain the humidifier regularly.
