Venta l44 motor won't run less than a yr. old

I also own a Venta there is a good online site that supplies new, refurbished venta humidifier parts and accessories. Try www.ventahumidifiers.com

I own a 3-year old Venta L44 in which the motor stopped turning the wheels inside. It just sat there humming and eventually got hot. I sent an email to the Venta web site asking if they had a recycling program -- they don't. Instead, they replied (after a few days) stating that the motor was covered under the 10-year warranty. They sent me a new motor which was super easy to install. It didn't cost me a thing. It nows works perfectly.
