There could be several reasons why a humidifier stops running after refilling it with water. One of the most common reasons is that the humidifier's float switch is stuck in the "low water" position, which prevents the humidifier from turning on even after refilling it with water . Another reason could be that the humidifier's water level sensor is malfunctioning, which causes the humidifier to stop running even when there is enough water in the tank/
If you have a whole-house humidifier, it could be that the humidistat is set too low, which causes the humidifier to turn off even when there is enough water in the tank 1. Alternatively, if you have a portable humidifier, it could be that the unit's motor has burned out or that its fan has stopped working .
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try cleaning the float switch or replacing the water level sensor if they are damaged. If you have a whole-house humidifier, you can try adjusting the humidistat to a higher setting. If you have a portable humidifier, you can try replacing its motor or fan
Electric water heaters need the power turned off when servicing the hot water system or risk burning out the heating elements. Water heater tank water level must be filled before restoring power to the heating elements. The closed circuit water pump also needs the power turned off while servicing the loop or risk pump seal damage. Loop pump needs water to work, air pockets trapped in the pump will avoid water circulation. Please provide better information for a better answer.
it probably has an anti-scald control in the shower line that lets cold water in to prevent burns
If so that unit has a wax bulb that sometimes fails and the default fail setting is cool water
have a plumber check it out
Possibly, but I doubt it. Because, there are 5 basic, yet solvable reasons for what you described. Please pay particular attention to numbers 1 & 2.. 1. Operator Error - The humidity extraction level is set to HIGH. Lower it to 32-35%. If you have a mechanical unit, set the manual control knob to Maximum.
2. Air intake filter is dirty or clogged. Turn unit OFF, & Unplug the Unit, before removing to inspect & clean it, if necessary. If washed, allow filter to completely dry before reinstalling. DO NOT operate the unit without the filter.
3. Obstructed air flow. Maintain a minimum of 12 to 18" of clear air
space around the entire unit.
4. Cooling coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. Use warm water & dish washing liquid to clean the coils. Rinse and wipe dry. Apply a light coating of WD40 to the coils.
5. Ambient air temperature at floor level is between 40 - 60 degrees.
dehumidifiers do not work well between those temperatures (Unless, you have a Low Temp Unit). This applies mainly to where the air
temperature at floor level is colder than at shoulder level in basement applications. Raising the unit up off the floor, onto a sturdy table, counter top, etc, that can handle the weight of the unit, plus a full tank of water, will usually resolve this problem.
Not all of the above will apply to your situation. But, they are good know for future reference. I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
I installed a new Intex ECO 8110 unit on my 15' above ground, steel sided pool. After about 10 hours of use I had the "code 92' high salt alert that shut the system down. I knew that my salinity wasn't high because the local Pinch A Penny pool store does free water analysis and i was given the okay just a week prior. We had also received a bit of rain in the interim so I knew that the alert was false.
Here is how I fixed the problem (so far).
1. Turn your unit off.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet and wait for 2 minutes.
3. Unscrew the retaining nut at the electro-cell connector and unplug the connection.
4. Rotate the plug 180 degrees to reverse the polarity of the plug and re-connect to the electro-cell.
5. Reconnect the power cord to your receptacle.
6. Turn the unit on, wait for the green light to burn steady.
7. Monitor for the next 5-10 minutes.
My unit has worked flawlessly for 3 hours. If i receive another "code 92" alert i will repeat the procedure which will result in bringing the unit back to its original polarity.
I believe what this symbol is the radiator. It comes on when the coolant level is low. Take a look at your radiator coolant level and if low add some to the full mark. Do this when the engine is cold to avoid getting burned from hot water and steam.
There usually is a reset button that is red. If this is a electric hot water heater it could be your heating element is out. They are pretty easy to do your self. Normally just take off a side cover slide old one and replace with new one. make sure you turn power off, and if you put in new element, DO NOT turn power on until water is filled in water heater, otherwise you will burn out new one. They have to be always in water to avoid burn out.
The thermostat (either the upper or lower if it has two thermostats) has an integral circuit breaker that trips if a problem occurs. First try resetting the breaker. Look for a red button in the middle of the thermostat (which will most likely be behind a metal panel. BE SURE to shut of the breaker in the electrical panel that serves the water heater.
The water heater should start to heat up if the thermostat breaker doesn't trip right away. However, if the breaker on the thermostat trips again at any time, there is most likely a short in the thermostat and it needs to be replaced.
They two thermostats are not identical. The upper unit typically has three wire connections while the lower unit only has two.
If you find that one of the units must be replaced, ensure that you get
the proper replacement. Then, you should mark the wires and their
connection points and then disconnect them. The thermostat can then be
slid out of the clasp that holds it to the tank. Slide the replacement
in and reconnect the wires and ensure that they are tight.
You should complete your water heater thermostat replacement by turning the power to the unit back on. Observe the proper operation of the water heater and ensure that the thermostat is set at the desired temperature. (The temperature should normally be set at 120 degrees to save energy and avoid burns.)
Only you know your level of ability. Water heaters are high voltage and draw a high amp load. If you feel you cannot safely perform this work, do not attempt it. Call a plumber instead.
Don't let the machine try to spin if tub is full of water-will burn out motor eventually. Could be bad water level sensor as control unit shouldn't turn on spin phase it there's water in the machine.
First off, do not submerge the carafe in cold water when it is hot. The water will rush past the seals. This solution involves heating the carafe. Be careful to avoid steam burns
1. Place the carafe on a stove top.
2. Slowly heat the carafe. (make sure you are wearing oven mitts -- avoid steam burns)
3. As the carafe heats the water inside steam will escape the area where the seal allowed the water to get in there in the first place. Steam should appear very quickly, If it does not stop the process right away! Pressure can build up and cause the Carafe to explode!
4. Check the carafe from time to time taking care to avoid steam burns.
5. Once the water has been steamed away, remove the carafe from the stove and allow it to cool slowly. DO NOT place the carafe in water or on a very cold surface until it has cooled. The rapid cooling of the left over steam will cause the carafe to collapse on itself if it is placed in cold water while it is still hot from this procedure.
