Unplug and replug the power cord. Push the power on switch. Do you see a little red light on the control panel? Also, take out the water tank, make sure it is empty and carefully put it back in place. Be sure the water tank panel is flush with the surface of the machine. If that does not work, contact the service department. using the supplied 800 number.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

I just bought this unit in December and I have the exact same problem. I love the unit. It is on my bedroom carpet so I am going to try to put a mat underneath it to see if that helps and I will try to change the water level a bit as another person suggested. My guess is that the water sensor works well and the system needs to be level. Someone else told me to put it up at the highest setting and that may help. I really don't want to have to replace it and its too late to return. It really is an awesome unit. Looks great too

If it is not on there just right it will not suck the water up. Take it off and try putting it on again. It makes a different noise if the tank is hooked up correctly. Just make sure it is on there good and snapped in tightly. Also if the top of the tank isn't snapped on there correctly it wont work right. Put it on from the front first and you should hear it snap into placeHope this helps, I love mine!

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?

It sounds like you need to adjust the regulator. There should be a black knob on the regulator that you can pull out then turn to increase or decrease the air flow.

Unscrew the system off. Take out the filter drain the water and reinstall. If that doesn't help call waterchef customer service they are Greta they helped me install mine

Hmm I think that's odd and it makes me think your unit is leaking. I personally would replace it. I don't think you can add water...

Ours isn't circulating either. We filled to the water line and have a slight bubbling, but it barely works. Suggestions?

I had that happen with mine, also. I tracked it down to the plastic shaft that the float rides on was not seated into the place for it on the bottom of the part with the fan. Also, if it doesn't run very often, try turning the humidity setting up and see what happens. They have some trouble-shooting tips in the manual.

Where is it leaking from? Make sure the filter is in place and the water basin is fitting into the base properly. Otherwise, I would return it because it sounds like you have a defective one.

probably the mini fan from the back of the system is full of dust, dust it off with a vacuum hose very carefully it might work. good luck.

It could be a variety of reasons. check all your hoses and filters and that the lift away is on properly. It could be you are releasing too much water to begin with...It is all trial and error. work with it

Ha, yeah that sounds right. It was difficult to fix, but what I did was drill two holes in the bottom of the unit towards the back to let the water drain out. It's the fan hitting the standing water that is making all the noise. It's difficult because unless you have access to the unit from outside the house (which I don't), you need to pull the unit out of the window, turn it upside down, and then I drilled 2 holes on the lowest parts the furthest towards the back of the unit. After that... no more noise. Also didn't seem to effect the unit either, still blows cold air. Hope that helped :) - Andy

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.
