Pureguardian humidifier does not spray - Pure Guardian Humidifiers

All question need full 'make model (what it is)' to answer efficiently.

Some actually spay a mist of water, but the better one suck dry air in and blow moister air out through the saturated filter membrane.

The ones that spray water mist damage furniture and anything near it. If it is the spray type, it needs descaling.

This is a sealed bearing motor so there is no oil ports. You can blow out with compressed air and spray motor shaft with WD-40. Be careful not to spray any lube inside motor. If you can get to them blow out motor cooling ports .this should help motor run cooler and quieter. Hope this helps you. Thanks

add one cup of white vinegar to the tank every week. that will keep it fresh and smelling good.

Hmmmmmm, does it seem to try? If so, help it with a spin and maybe a little spray of wd49 on the motor shaft.

the spray painted spot goes up

If someone put it togetherm you can take it apart.
See if the dicharge grill slides up and the bottom vcan be pulled out like a window screen. If so, ,other panels may also do so in order to access the internals, Unplug unit when in the water or around fan. Do not run unit without panels in place. Any fan cleaning use something like 409 spray and rinse off with a spray bottle also. Keep water out of all and any electrical. Rinse and leave no cleaner in humidifier to be mixed with misting. Good Luck

I have a Holmes cool-mist One-Touch Humidifier, and you can't reach the blades to clean them, and you can't take the console apart. I finally decided to use two spray bottles and clean and them rinse the Humidifer while holding the console upside down and over a sink. The one bottle you could fill with any mild cleaner plus a lot of water to dilute the cleaner. Maybe dishwashing liquid (not the dishwasher stuff), or a little bit of ammonia, or rubbing alcohol, or vinegar. Spray that on the blades while the machine is upside down, and a lot of sooty dirt drips out. Then rinse with another spray bottle full of plain water. Leave the console upside down on a towel to drip-dry. This is also how you can clean silk flowers that collect dust.

Soak what you can in white vinegar. For the rest put some of the vinegar in a spray bottle and carefuly spray and use an old toothbrush.
Good luck

I would suggest turning up the humidistat (usually located on the the return air duct to a higher setting and listening for a "click" noise on the supply valve. If you do hear a click but dont see / hear any water than the culprit is likely the valve itself.
