It looks like there are no spares apart from consumables. Try the maker direct.

There is probably a calcium buildup in the lines from the tank to the humidifier. You will need to take it apart to lean it. 50/50 White Vinegar should do the trick, Then flush the system with clean water, before using it as a humidifier again. In the future try using Bottled Spring Water or Distilled Water instead of tap water. Especially if your source of water is a well.

Seloniod water valve orifice may be clogged (very small opening). Try removing it and cleaing the nozzle with a toothpick.

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 ?

take the tank off and the fan unit housing. inside you'll see a circular filter that goes into the water sump. make sure it isn't falling apart and hitting the fan blades.

just replace the hose. its 1/2 vinyl tubing you can get the required length at any hardware store and a hose clamp to support to bottom of he humidifier

how to clean

have you checked the misting nozzle? if its clogged place it in (CLR) and let soak, I would try to run a little diluted (CLR) through the unit as well, to remove any calcium build up, that is the most common problem with most humidifiers, also check to make sure the pump is working, if not you will need to replace the pump, hope that helped

turn knob to reset....leave 15 minutes and then turn on
