Owners Manual for 2005 Vicks V5100N Humidifier

Brother, I think you're OK here. I run a couple in my shop, both cheap from Walgreen's, and I'd be ruining the suckers once a week if they didn't have auto-shut-off. Your's should too. Sounds defective.

surprisingly, the salt solution works. i figured it wouldn't make a difference with the ultrasonic model, but i added a bit of salt to the tank, and BAM!

What model? Their website has manual for most models. Search for you model, then click on the "Package Information" tab on that model's product page. E.g.:

This is the v3900 page:

This is the manual on the "Package Information" tab of that page:
