I had the same problem!! Music worked, but fan just stopped running... Since my kids love their busy ball popper I was determined to find a fix!!
The solution for me was to replace all 4 batteries with identical brand batteries.
When the original batteries had puttered out I replaced them with 2 brand new Duracell and 2 brand new Energizer batteries (because that's what I had on hand). The popper worked just fine and I'd say a few weeks later the fan just stopped working. Music played, but no fan. I thought the fan motor must have gone bad, so I searched for another popper at a resale shop (hoping to salvage the fan motor). Well I found one, but didn't end up using it because I discovered that putting ALL the same brand of batteries in my popper did the trick. The batteries weren't necessarily brand new, but they were all the same brand and I would guess the same "age". Anyway, I'm just glad it all works now (music and fan) and my kids are back to their ball popping fun. If you haven't already give this a try. Otherwise I have a spare ball popper if you need any parts! Good luck!

Batteries are inserted correctly and ball popper will not turn on

If you do not have the instruction pamphlet you turn it on then press down on the red lever to activate the fan. If the fan got wet you can try drying it out on low with a hair dryer or as I have done even when my kids have poured Kool-aid down it, which takes one additional step. Rinse then since its winter here I lay it face down over my heat vent overnight. I have done this several times. Each time I have also removed the batteries and used Q-tips to remove all moisture from the battery compartment. Also the fan wont work if the batteries are 1) rechargable and 2) fairly fresh...the first thing that will stop working is the fan to blow the balls when the batteries get down to a certain level of functioning. So maybe try fresh batteries out of the package if any of the above does not apply.

Can we make the sound quieter?

Put a piece of sellotape over the little speaker. Much better although still not quiet!

Water quits flowing

There is a little popper in the spout area. You need to remove the top handle and slide the spout off. The popper is in the main tube coming up. It.s a standard part at most big box hardware stores and it costs less than $10.
