Issue
Tips On What To Check
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check power supply. Turn power switch to ON position mode. Check for a
damaged/cut power cord. Check for loose wires inside junction boxes.
Make sure there is enough water to completely submerge the pump. The mist
switch needs to be activated showing a green light. Throttle the flow control
valve to maximum mist to prime out any air bubbles. Test Pump and check
plumbing lines.
Fine mist output is generally difficult to see without having a dark
background. Fine mist particles also evaporate quickly (within seconds) in
dry air. This is a good thing as this causes evaporative cooling to occur.
If motor smells, doesn’t start (with a direct power supply) or shaft will not
loosen up. The motor is bad and should be replaced.
Check pump’s output by disconnecting tubing, check pump’s sediment
screen. Then move up the plumbing lines looking for kinks or clogs.
Indicates a clogged flow restrictor tube. Remove, clean or replace.
Sump pumps can go bad if operated for lenghty periods of time out of water.
If the pump has little to no output flow. Replace as needed.
If there is a lot of calcium build-up near the end of your atomizing fan blades.
Remove and clean by soaking the blade assembly in bath of (CLR) calcium
dissolving solution.
Check the sweep switch, also check the oscillator motor.
This indicates a bad float valve. Check, service or replace.
This mode requires water in the tank to activate the fluid level switch. If still
not working, test the fluid level switch and replace if needed.
If any deep scratches or dents occurs where the drain plug seals against the
tanks wall, this can cause leaking. Attempt to smooth the walls of the hole
with sandpaper. Check the plug for any damage or cracked seals.
If there is a persistent plumbing leak. Use both thread tape (first) with some
pipe sealant on top of tape to ensure a leak-proof connection.
If motor makes squeaky noise, smells and gets excessively hot. These are
signs of a motor going bad. Replace motor early to avoid future issues.
Check power supply and power cord. Check inside control box for loose
connections. Consult an electrician or replace the control box assembly.
Turn off all other devices connected to the same circuit. If the breaker
continues to trip, the fan motor is probably bad and in need of repair.
Consult an electrician for professional evaluation.
