20 Most Recent Vicks Cool Mist V400 Humidifier Questions & Answers

Hi. It looks like more people is complaining about this. It shouldn't happened but I'm think that this is just a big cons of this unit. Return to the shop and buy another one basing on people reviews or use this unit and some rugs

it has a quiet operation when you got it brand new did it put out mist

I haven't had any problems with my Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier other than the fact that the area surrounding it is slightly wet after operating for a couple of hours....While I understand that I was using this to moisturize the air during a cold, I knew this would happen, because the air in my room is not dry. If the room isn't dry, the mist that it's putting out in to the air has no where to go but surround the humidifier. All I did to stop this was to buy a water proof mat. I suggest you do the same -- Also, in regards to the water smelling -- You should be cleaning out and drying the basin after every use. Water shouldn't smell unless you let it stagnate inside the plastic -- Try running distilled vinegar through the machine for a couple of minutes -- Also, I would use an extension cord and let it run outside so that your house doesnt smell like Vinegar.

try a different electrical outlet.

Try checking the pick up tube that spins from the motor to the resivoir. If this is not seated properly or off balance even just a bit, it can cause your humidifier to sound like a small waterfall. Hope this helps

dont shoot the messanger but unfortunalty they are not designed to repair. when they break you need to replace. now a whole house duct mounted is diffrent but on the stand alones thats the deal

YES I DID ICALLED THE # ON THE MACHINE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCER LUCY.

My cord is also getting very hot after being plugged in for just a few minutes. Is there a cause for concern here? It's not even a year old, bought in January of 2022.

You may be over filling the unit. Take the refillable water tank out and with the power removed try to remove all the extra water where the tank goes. check for anything that looks cracked inside the unit the best you can. If the tank is seating properly it should not leak. If it is filled properly it should not leak.

if possible try and check the lines or hoses that run from the wat er supply to the point where the steam comes out. It is very possible that the lines are clogged with water deposits. Thats why most of the time they suggest that you use distilled water in your vaporizer. hop this helps. Lynn

Probably. Try the manufacturer or service agent.
