Hello...i have a sunbeam filter free warm mist humidifier,and i put the water in and turn it on but it doesn't seem to be working. All the lites are on but nothing and it's brand new too never been used.

Hi, have you given it a while? That humidifier usually takes about 10 minutes to get going. After 10 minutes or so you should be able to feel the warm mist coming out, and soon after you should feel a difference in the moisture in the air.
