Taking apart base of 890 wgn humidifier - Walgreens Cool Moisture Humidifier 890-Wgn

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.

How do I fill the water tank. Can't find an opening where to put the water

How do I fill the tank with water

I am wondering if the floater is sticking. I have the same problem and there is no crack like others have mentioned. But when taking it apart I noticed the floater which is the piece that sticks up from inside the base was not easily moving. Taking it out tonight after work and cleaning it along with the filter.

did you figure out the filter? there is a filter there when you take it apart but it doesn't say anything in the manuel about changing a filter. let me know if you figured it out. thanks

couple of screws on the bottom, but why take it all apart when you can probably run vinegar through it and let that do the work, smells a little, so maybe on the porch...

take apart to find out ?

This is a link to the manual for the humidifier you bought.
It shows how everything comes apart and how it all goes together with the filter.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

sounds like the small fan that is located in the base isn`t pushing the mist out. unplug it then take all the screws out of the base. there are screws under the black foam stands too. be careful not to touch anything that looks like live wires while you look inside then look inside while it is pluged in. it should turn. check for something blocking it like lint or dirt..you may be able to clean around the shaft with w d 40
