From the troubleshooting section of the manual:

The power light is green but there is no
mist being emitted:
? Check that there is water in the tank.
? Check for possible lime deposits on the
water level sensor or the nebulizer (see
page 8 and 9).
? Make sure that nothing blocks the
vapor output slots.
? Check that the fan vent on bottom of
humidifier is not blocked.
? Empty the humidifier and rinse the
water basin with cool tap water and
allow to dry for 15 to 30 min.

If none of this works, then it could be some other problem with a part. I'm kind of having the opposite problem where the mist is coming out but the fan is not working. Maybe I could send you my motor, or you could send me your fan :)

Thanks
