4i Humidifier indicator "cycles", no heat

[Debjax]

The 4i humidifier is not heating up. The indicator light does a regular cycle between dim and bright. Currently it's not a problem, passover is fine here in FL, but if I go somewhere dry, I may need that heated humidification. Think it's broken or could it be another issue fixable here at home?

If it's not heating, yes, that's a problem. My light cycles exactly like yours does. I'd get a replacement if you can.

have you tried reseating the humidifier? Maybe one of the power contacts isn't seating properly. Mine cycles the light and if i go anything about 2 on the settings It's drowning time.

Good to know about the passover being fine, cause i plan on running mine in that mode when i go camping. I've tried it without the humidifier and my nose is burning up within about an hour or so.

A bit of troubleshooting required

Remove the tank and turn the humidifier on. Within a few minutes you should notice some warmth in the plate. If not, bad karma.

I'll do some experimenting with mine and see if I can find a resolution for the bad karma.

It will always work in passover mode - there is nothing happening that can change
