you might have over filled it with water? Make sure you only fill to the designed water line.

I think you have a defective diffuser! Directions came with mine. Top should remove very easily. Return that for a replacement!

You probably have checked this but just in case, there's a red switch in the back, make sure your water tank is placed correctly and the inlet/outlet piece's spring is moving freely. If you've checked those things already I would probably go for the diffuser assembly to make sure it's correctly attached. Hope I could help!

Here is a good breakdown of the different types of diffusers. I was pretty sure this one did NOT use heat, but had to look it up! http://www.abundanthealth4u.com/Diffuser_Comparison_s/52.htm

I haven't noticed my diffuser wetting the surface it sits on, I'll double check. I have two other different diffusers and this one works the best for me when it comes to delivering the oil mist for a long period of time as opposed to my others that I unfortunately paid more for.

I don't have a diffuser. I drop it into the warmed wax of a candle but I can tell you that this is a mild rosemary oil, very pleasant and very true to its nature. Any diffuser, then, should work just fine.

As jc answered, in my outlet the diffuser feels warm to the touch but not at all hot. There is a slight odor. I only occasionally catch a whiff of it that is very diffused, that is to say, I smell it when I enter the room but not when I stand directly over it. The liquid is evaporating very slowly, not even a third of it gone in 3 weeks. I think it is working as it is supposed to and I have noticed a difference in my anxious cat's behavior. I'd say give it time, see how fast the liquid evaporates over a week or two. If it is too fast it may be defective.

The light always blinks when you turn the diffuser on -whether you use the light or not. Press the amount of time you want the diffuser to run (ie.30/60 min) then it starts diffusing. I never had a problem with it.

Yes, I would say you have a defective diffuser. I have had mine for several months now and even when its on the highest setting and runs all night I still have 3/4 a bottle left in the morning. If you bought it from Amazon you may be out of luck with getting it replaced; but you can always go to the DoTerra website and find contact information. They are a great company and stand by their products; but I have always bought my DoTerra from a company representative...so I'm not sure how they handle purchases through amazon.

Don't open it, it's ready to use as is. The teeth marks you see on top grip the pad, you only have to slide the pad into the diffuser. I felt a cold coming in yesterday and put Eucalyptus on my pad and that diffuser worked wonders in seconds! Enjoy!

Mine did not come with a diffuser. I've been looking for one that will fit, so I don't know the answer.

It gets very hot but i make sure there are no flammable objects nearby. I have been using the same diffuser for about 6 months and noticed it was brown inside where there are small flaps. I thought it was some of the liquid burned to the plastic. Then just last week noticed that the small flap is cracked. There are a few small flaps but i removed it from the electricity due to fear of fire. Has anyone elese seen this? Is there a shelf life for the diffuser? Do i need to buy new ones ( i have several in the house). Thanks.

I believe you've got a defective one as I did. Mine did not produce any steam. If I were you, I would return it right away. Give it a 1 worst rating as I did.

I usually add on top of that, because by the time it gets that low, I feel like most of the oil has evaporated, but I enjoy mixing the oils any how. If you don't wish to mix the oils, than you do have to waste the water! Also, I don't always have water left in the chamber, and I'm not sure why and when that happens! I love my doTERRA diffuser!

You put the oils in the water as others have said. I think it disperses the oils just as well as any other diffuser I have seen. It is not a strong smell but noticeable. I have a very large great room though so I needed one that would work with a large room. I just rinse it with water between uses.

Hi Ruth,You don't open the diffuser, you insert the pad in the open side. Have to try both to see which side is open for it to slide through. I used this a few times with my essential oils and works pretty good. I would give it maybe 4 stars!

Sorry, I don't use a diffuser. But, I do like this hairdryer very much. Especially the weight.
