No mist coming out+Fan Fix for PureGuardian Ultrasonic Humidifier H965/H965AR

In this video I will show you how to replace the DC fan unit inside a PureGuardian Ultrasonic Humidifier H965/H965AR. When this stops working, your humidifier will produce mist but it will not come out of the water tank nozzle. You can buy a replacement fan unit and simply replace it, saving money from buying a whole new humidifier.

Thank you for posting this very helpful video. I did have to get one screw drilled out to open the cover. That must be the security screw Livingsaint mentioned. I clean the noisy fan with a toothbrush and rinsed it under water then dried it with a hairdryer. It is now running silent.

Glad that it worked out!

This video helped me fix my humidifier! I wondered where those damn screws were (the ones under the rubber feet), and accessing it there and fiddling with it a little fixed the issue. Thank you, Much Ado!

Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@maxdekterov8557]

Thank you for this i used it again!

[@muchadoaboutnothing1907]

You're welcome!

[@livingsaint2687]

You forgot to mention that you need one security Torx T10 bit 3" long to open the cover. The other screws are standard screws.

Mine just started doing this too

[@muchadoaboutnothing1907]

If you manage to find the fan then replacing is very easy. The replacement may not be as strong as the original but it gets the job done.

It's a shame they intentionally make them to only last a few years. Greed will end this planet.

[@muchadoaboutnothing1907]

Agreed

[@Heartwing37]

Agree. I’ve had these. The first one lasted 4 years and the second 5 years. Everything is disposable….

[@yogeshjadhav7516]

My fan start and stops within 5 sec so is it fan issue or something else ?

[@muchadoaboutnothing1907]

That can very well be a power issue, my fan wasn't working at all. I am no electrician so cannot make a concrete comment on this. All the best.

Link to fan?

The one I bought seems not available on amazon, these 24V 0.10A fans are similar- 1. www.amazon.ca/WINSINN-Cooling-50x50x15mm-Extruder-Makerbot/dp/B079BPS9Q8 2. www.amazon.ca/SoundOriginal-50x50x15mm-Humidifier-Aromatherapy-Replacement/dp/B0755BY9RH

@@muchadoaboutnothing1907 yeah. Am I doomed? Is there any way to fix this?

[@muchadoaboutnothing1907]

@@BuddyMac69 very low chances of success. you may want to open it and try to dry the circuits. see kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJnJh2eJral4h7c
