I HAVE A HM 5700 HUMIDFIER AND NEED A NEW CAP FOR THE TANK CAN YOU HELP ?

venta-usa.com is your best bet to solving the problem.

is the rubber seal in place on the cap or did you lose it could be a small crack where the threads are look for both , good luck

I had the same problem. Looked up the manual online. Red light indicates water level is low I had just refilled the tank so that was not the problem but manual said to make sure water tank was firmly, securely seated on base. I unplugged the unit, unscrewed the plug on the tank and screwed it back on and then made sure the tank was securely seated on the base, plugged it in and it started working. If the tank is full you may just have to make sure the tank is fitting properly in the base.

Does this help you? http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/humidifiers/vicks/v5100ns.html
My OX husband trod upon his new humidifier LOL...broke the tank and I cannot stop leaking. Anyone have a site where I can buy just a Vicks tank?

After a long wait I spoke with a very professional guy who ordered it for me in just a couple minutes. Totally restored my faith in the retail Sharper Image Products.

Hunter carefree humidifiers use a reusable and washable wick this method of humidifying does not produce a fine mist like many centrifugal (cool misting)humidifiers. The fact that it is producing cold air seems to indicate it is working. However it would not hurt to check the water intake for blockages it also a good idea to run these models on high for several mins when starting this ensures that water is being pumped up.

The humidstat controler has failed. By cleaning the humidfier you introduced moisture into the system. Dry the humidstat controler with a hair dryer and try the humifier again. If the unit still does not shut off at maxium setting. Replace the humidfier controler.

Hello! I found this link where you can buy the filler cap for $6.99. I hope it's still available!!!

I have a Honeywell humidfier HE 220A with a KIP U147112 valve. Will turning the large screw head on the valve decrease the volume of water flow through the humidifier. Too much water is being wasted.

Turn that pin to the left and that will open the valve to allow water to flow through it. If it starts to leak the all you need to do is tighten the nut that were the water is coming out with a wrench, be carefull it wont take much to tighten.
