I bought a walgreens cool mist humidifier and it wont produce mist. how can i fix this?

Those are disposable filters. They are about $20 each. When they get blocked up, they have all sorts of dust and other pollutants, and sometimes mold in them.

I have had times where my Crane humidifier won't produce mist if I haven't turned it on for several days (4+) or more. The water that sits in the reservoir may develop a film on the ultrasonic element which inhibits the creation of the mist to come out the top of your humidifier. I would lift off the tank and empty the reservoir. Then VERY GENTLY with a piece of paper towel, wipe the ultrasonic element (looks like a disk the size of a quarter at the bottom of the reservoir) to clean off any film. Then replace the tank and let the reservoir fill up the tank and try it again.

If your humidifier runs properly for a minute and then makes a whirring noise and goes silent (like the motor stopping), then it's a motor problem. The humidifier motor may have gone out of alignment due to bumping or rough handling of the humidifier when cleaning or emptying it. If that is the case, you will have to empty the humidifier reservoir, unscrew the base, and find the screws holding down the motor and check for misalignment. Loosen them a little and put it back together and try again.

Best of luck

I would call or write to the warranty company: BW Consumer Services, POBox 8134, Elburn, IL 60119. 1-877-365-6274 and ask for the Walgreens Ultrasonic Humidifier 2055 user's manual. That is the information spelled out in the original users manual that come with the product.

If there is a lot of scale and mineral deposits , you can run a 50/50 solution of White Vinegar and water thru it, by half filling the tank with the solution. When it's almost empty, turn it off, empty the remainder of the solution and flush the system with clear water. In the future I recommend that your use bottled Distilled Water, instead of tap water.

Either call or go back to the Walgreens where you purchased the Humidifier. They will either take one from another box or make a copy of it for you.

Hello, I don't know if you solved your problem yet, but yes, if the air is humid the mist will not disperse and dissappear into the air.

just warm water and bleach, will have to do it a couple of times

I have this same problem. And cool mist humidifiers DO produce mist. I have had my humidifier for a while now (6 years) and have never had any problems. But after the most recent cleaning, it worked at first, but now seems to not be working anymore... Am also wondering if there is anything I can do to remedy the situation?
