Holmes Products Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

Hi,
The only way to tell for sure what is wrong would be to use an electrical meter and troubleshoot all of the switches, the thermostat and the heating elements... If you do not use a meter and find out exactly what the problem is then you run the risk of buying parts that you do not need.
Find someone that can hands on go through the circuitry and find the exact cause of the problem.

Same problem, I took it apart and found that the thermostat had failed, there are "points" burnt out (like in older cars distributors) that make contact at the thermostat and there were some solder joints which had come loose as well, adding up to no contact through the "hot" side of the wiring. Basically it's not something you can repair, just go buy a new heater, they're about $30. If you decide to try to fix it, beware, it might be dangerous if you don't do everything exactly right, also beware that parts might cost more than the heater.

Hello- These heaters have been recalled.The Holmes heater company will mail you a new free heater, if u mail them back your power cord. Please check the recall website. Julie :)

check your fuses, may have blown the heat side. If fuses are good, and still no heat? replace the unit.

unfortunately on a cool mist unit the mist shouldn't show up. on most units that's what it does. the warm mist units show the mist.. the best way to tell is if you put your hand over the spout that the mist is suppose to come out of for about 2 minutes and you pull it away and it feel clammy then it's working. if your hand is still dry please let me know and i'll see what else i can do for you.

Just a thought If you find a junker fan try the switch off of it. Quite often they will work. Sometimes different makes the switches are interchangeable.

were you able to find a solution? i now have the same problem

You really have an mineral problem. I have pretty much same here. I only use bottle water that comes in gallon size from grocery. Ot is the only way I have found other than constand cleaners or a water softener. Good luck

Hard water will build up on the rubber plunger casket and the beveled edge were the plunger seats in the cap, if you clean both pieces it will seat it self again
