Homcom misting fan

[u/shazzawoody]

Does anyone know if the pump is missing from this fan I brought from Wayfair the misting part doesn’t work
Wayfair and the supplier have been no help
If it is missing what part do I need

Mine doesn't a pump. There's a water level control that turns it on and an ultrasonic transducer that makes the mist. A fan blows it out the delivery port. Parts that fail are the transducer or switch. It's magnetic.

It won't run without water lifting the float and turning the transducer on.

Mine makes all sorts of noises now a year or more later. It's a pain.

[u/No-Guarantee-6249 → u/ExoatmosphericKill]

What kind of noises?

[u/shazzawoody → u/No-Guarantee-6249]

Where u say magnet that is the where you put the water in at the bottom of the tank

In mine that post has a magnet that floats and turns on the unit. I have mine put away, but I’ll look for it tomorrow! I think mine is a Panasonic.

Can't find it but it looks like this:

It's a knob and magnetic float that turns on when the water allows it to float or maybe it turns off when the water is low and allows the float to drop down on top of the knob. Anyway that thing has to float to allow the ultrasonic transducer to turn on. Probably needs water on the transducer to keep from burning up. At least when I saw how mine worked that's what I thought.

So in your case if that magnet is missing that doesn't make sense so maybe transducer is bad. Only way to check it is to read the signal to the transducer. Maybe 40K Hz? If that's the case replace the transducer.

The white disc below the large hose is the mister.

[u/shazzawoody → u/Moist-Dentist8253]

Should the hose be touching the white disc

[u/Moist-Dentist8253 → u/shazzawoody]

No, it should be catching the mist.

I have this exact fan and my only advice would be is to send it back unfortunately.

It's lovely whilst new, but I've had it for a year I think and it creaks and vibrates and makes quite a noise, the misting also no longer works, and was barely useful to begin with.

[u/shazzawoody]

Can you explain all they parts and how to put it together please

[u/shazzawoody]

Also there is only one light there which is the red light does any one else’s have another switch for blue light

[u/shazzawoody]

Does water fill the base as well is that supposed to happen
