A noisy humidifier may be the result of a fan motor or a drive mechanism that is not lubricated or is clogged with debris. Periodically clean the water reservoir, fan, and nozzle to ensure they are working properly.

Lubricate the fan motor bearings with SAE #20 oil. Be sure to consult your owner's manual for other proper care and maintenance procedures to keep your humidifier functioning smoothly and efficiently.

Another cause of noise can be vibrating parts. To check for this:

1Unplug the unit, remove the cover, and look for any loose parts. Tighten any loose screws.

2Wiggle the fan to see if it is loose on its shaft. If it is, tighten the mounting fasteners.

3If the humidifier continues to makes noise, call an appliance repair person or take the unit into an appliance repair shop.
