Lasko Humidifiers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Usually, humidifiers are installed in the main distribution duct. It would make no sense to install it in the return duct.

Dear Mario, This is called "throwing your sister under the bus". Ask a wise adult what that means, ( let them read what your wrote first.) Now. I believe your box fan was made in China, and I doubt the switch is available for purchase. There is such a thing as a "universal" switch, which you can buy at a hardware store, and you could replace it with that. It will not be the same as what you had, but will work if someone (you?) can figure out how to hook it up. God bless your efforts.

It's just trying to keep the humidity level you set it at. By dropping the temperature in your home or changing the humidity level you want you can avoid this.

Good Luck.

I have the same issue with the filter not turning. Is it an issue with the electric Motor?

what are you trying to replace it on

I contacted Lasko and immediately got a response:

You will need to remove the top grill of the humidifier to install the gasket. The gasket installation instructions are as follows.

1. Unplug the humidifier.

1. Remove the top half of the humidifier and turn it upside down onto a stable surface.

***Be sure that the pump housing is dry. If it is not, there is a possibility that water will flow into the motor housing and cause damage to the motor.

1. Locate and remove the six (6) screws that are around the inner edge of the unit.

3 are located near the front and 3 are located near the back.

1. You will now be able to remove the top grill to install the gasket into the U shape part of the housing.

1. Once the gasket is in place, you will then reassemble the top grill to the housing and reinstall the screws.

Question edited for clarity. Parts suppliers and a link to the maker. https://www.google.com/search?q=sunbeam+scm3755c+tank ..

Mine was doing the same thing...first month of operation (installed toward end of heating season) = no problems with noise (bubbling, gurgling) though the duct work - started second year toward middle of season. Now its been running for a few weeks and is intolerable. I dug out owners manual and it did not address this at all. I dug out the installation manual and viola! Gurgling is caused by excess condensation in the steam hose. Sure enough the steam hose had a small area depression and did NOT have the constant downward slope necessary - installation instructions are VERY specific about needing a slope in order to allow condense to drain from the steam house. The zip-tie installation had slide down from a vertical stabilizing pipe & allowed for the hose to sag in the middle (nice install job slacker). I adjusted it and the SOUND IS GONE. Hope this helps someone else.

Without brand and model, my advice is definitely a shot in the dark. Only your manual or your manufacturer's site can inform you of what the flashing means. Here are some tips that might help you increase the humidity in your room: Check the humidifier's water level: Make sure that the humidifier has enough water to function properly. If the water level is low, the humidifier may not be able to produce enough moisture to increase the humidity in the room. Clean the humidifier: Over time, mineral deposits and bacteria can build up in the humidifier, which can affect its performance. Clean the humidifier regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the humidifier in the right location: Place the humidifier in a central location in the room, away from walls and other obstructions. This will help the humidifier distribute moisture evenly throughout the room. Use a humidistat: A humidistat is a device that measures the humidity in the room and automatically adjusts the humidifier's output to maintain a desired humidity level. If your humidifier does not have a built-in humidistat, you can purchase a separate one and use it to control the humidity level in the room.
