The water doesn't release into the base and the vapor stops coming out after about 10 minutes. Any suggestions of cause and how to fix?

sounds like there might be some kind of obstruction. Not real sure, I never had any problems with mine. Is the tank sitting on the base properly? I use either R/O or distilled water

Hi George:The design flaw of the filter causes this problem: all u need to do is use a clean blunt object, like the handle of a butter knife, tap the top of the filter until all the bubbles come out. You may need to do this every time you add water to the top. If you have the double filter (large) model, tap bot filters. It removes the bubbles that are causing a vapor lock situation, and water flows normally again.

Hi, try to remove all the water from the Diffuser and to clean the water from the air outlet by using a piece of cotton then keep it open for few hours to dry well or keep it for one day, then fill it with water as usual and operate it, I hope this will be beneficial and work with you.

My suggestion is to leave the unit operating in a closed space, with a door (a bathroom is good for this), for a couple of hours. then check if there is visible vapor. It your living space is exceedingly dry (especially if you have electric heating), the water vapor emitted will evaporate very rapidly after coming off the transducer. It takes a while for the relative humidity in the space being humidified to be high enough for water vapor to be visible.

Nope. You're only supposed to keep it working for 10 seconds. You should see the valve on the container pucker. If not there is probably something wrong with the container.

That's odd - I'd say let it cool down completely, but I haven't had to do that so it shouldn't be an issue. Did you release all the pressure from the tank? Maybe have someone hold the release button while you try getting the lid to budge?

Hi George, I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct. Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

While I don't have the unit (bought it for a friend), if the item isn't working, and you can't return it - if the item is heating, I'd try to see if "maybe" the water spouts became clogged? If you have no other recourse, you may wish to check with the manufacturer and ask them what they suggest? It may be something as simple as steam-cleaning the machine with something they've found works well?

I just assembled mine and tried it as well, the vapor is coming out the bottom, I tried the wiggle technique, but still no help. I emailed the company but guess I won't hear back until Monday.

I didn't experience a problem and I had two of these. First, make sure you empty the condensation tank on a regular basis. Second, make sure it's level. If the unit is on some type of uneven surface, that could cause water to leak out. Also you can run an evaporative drain hose from the tank bib to continually drain the tank if you're in a high humidity area. Other than that, I'd call LG technical support.

Have you tried reducing the amount of liquid you put in? I noticed that CO2 would eject through the hole on the neck of the bottle if I had the water level too high. Was pretty simple to cope with. Beyond that, there shouldn't be any other quirks. If they continue, I would contact amazon or the mfctr to see about a replacement unit. We really do love ours.

Am so sorry I cannot answer your question. I bought this as a gift for my son. Guessing you have kind of a vapor lock. Maybe put a very thin knife in and try to release the pressure that has built up. Know I need to do that when I open goods I have canned. Good luck.

Hi - you may have a slow leak, make sure the top is screwed down tight before you insert the cartridge. Also make sure insert the cartridge fast ( screw on the cap) otherwise there is not enough pressure to push all the water out. If none of it works - return the unitgood luck

Our has worked great.. I would contact the seller and send it back.. Are you using purifies water.. It's a small mist that comes out

First question are you using distilled water? Any other water will partially plug ducts and spit and sputter. Second, is it fully heated? If not then give it five more minutes or so. If it is still not working as it should, your machine needs some repair. My machine provides continuous steam. Good luck...when working properly, the machine is great!

That happened to my first one - you should return it for a new one - the mist should start immediately after you add water and replace the cover

It might be the tank valve not opening properly. If you shut off both tanks and release any pressure in the lines and then open a tank valve really, I mean really slow it might help. I think the tank valve thinks there is a major leak and shuts off.
