Linusdog, I guess the original post about the 'fill cap' is missing now, or I can't find it...but question for you:
Does the Magic Bullet gasket get installed between the heating plate and the plastic frame? If so, how exactly is that done? I've taken mine apart but the heating plate stayed wedged in the plastic frame, with a rubber ring that I assume is what you mean needs replacing.
Does this fix a problem where the unit always thinks it's out of water, and so never turns on? The 'out of water' light is constantly on for me, and that's happened in many of these units when that rubber ring gets worn down.
I found a solution to our problem with the fill cap failing/leaking. It was/is not the cap, it’s the gasket/grommet/o-ring. Remember “THE MAGIC BULLET”, well the gasket, that’s where you tighten the top to the bottom, some are white and some are black, THEY FITthe Honeywell HWM450!!! ------- Problem solved.

-make sure the heating element is clean. If there is a thick layer of scale (mineral deposit), then the unit will not turn on.
-there are magnets on the water reservoir that allow the unit to turn on. If these magnets are not lined up properly, then the unit thinks there is no tank, and thus, not turn on.
-turn the humidity up past your target point. The humidity near the unit could be a lot higher than the rest of the room, causing it to shut off prematurely.
get a better brand as 2 failures of the same brand indicate design faults
report the matter to the manufacturers engineering department and ask questions as to why the failures occur
This is a posting from someone other than myself...however, it presented a good solution.

I usually just balance the tray upside down on top of the base and fill the edges with vinegar. You could also put the the tray in a bowl filled with vinegar and submerge the whole thing.
