make sure you have removed all the packaging, there maybe plastic wrap inside the unit that needs removed

If it does not turn on it could be an electrical connection problem. Make sure you have juice in the outlet (plug in a table lamp or a hairdryer that you know works). Then make sure that the connector is sitting all the way in the unit.Also keep in mind that it takes 15-20 seconds for the unit to start spinning from the time you put the bottles in

It's tricky to set up as contact must be made between the top of the water level indicator "stick" and a switch on bottom surface of the control panel cover. Once set up it does throw out quite a bit of water vapor, worth about the contents of one whole tank bottle a day or more, even on low fan speed which is not loud.

Make sure it is level and set the humidity to a much higher number until it starts working. Try putting a shim under the wheels if the floor is not level.

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

I just bought this unit in December and I have the exact same problem. I love the unit. It is on my bedroom carpet so I am going to try to put a mat underneath it to see if that helps and I will try to change the water level a bit as another person suggested. My guess is that the water sensor works well and the system needs to be level. Someone else told me to put it up at the highest setting and that may help. I really don't want to have to replace it and its too late to return. It really is an awesome unit. Looks great too

I always run mine until it runs out of water. Did you chech to make sure the power cord was attached properly? You also need to check that you didn't overfill it. Mine won't run with too much water.

Sure - why not? Hook to hose - set timer - turn on water - Remember, it shuts off on time, not amount of water.

You might want to contact the manufacturer's support, most these days are willing to walk thru issues with customers. If there was a power surge maybe there was damage to the sprinkler control box? If not, it's fairly intuitive to set up all zones for watering, also comes with instructions, so there may be a defect with yours. http://www.orbitonline.com/contact

Plug it in and follow the instructions included in the box. You can either set it to run continuously, or set a desired humidity (ours is set to 50%).

make sure it is connected to a video source, yellow plug. other than that i dont know. maybe defective? i would try a few different things before sending it back. turn it off then on, letting it warm up, etc

Sent it back after several weeks. It never worked properly. Company was terrific about returning it. We bought something else through our water carrier. Hope that helps.

It will not run if the minimum pressure is not detected. No water, no operation.

I would make sure the electrical outlet works - plug a light or something in it. If the unit won't even light up, it's defective/broken. If it's the condenser(?) motor that doesn't start, try reducing the desired humidity with the down arrow as low as it will go.

Please dry it out -- bone dry, and then try. Hopefully this has not been tired when wet. As Martin says : Electronics and flood waters are not compatible.

Make sure it's plugged in and has full power (try another plug maybe?). I tried once pushing it down before it was plugged in and it wouldn't stay down. If you're sure it has power then it's defective.

Unplug it from the wall, plug it back after 20 secs. It probably needs filter cleaned. If you found the manual it tells you how to clean filter or lookup brondell.com. Does it work? If not check water intake for blocks.

have no idea - plugged in wall...check! turn timer on... check! water turns to steam within minutes.. check! possible problem with your machine and may have to send back

There are two settings. interval and continuous. Do you have it on the continuous setting? How long does it run before shutting off? If its on continuous and water remains when isdone running, I would say maybe is not working properly.

Return it. Something is definitely wrong with it. I've had mine for several months now. It runs for hours and shuts off by itself when reservoir is empty. Yours is definitely defective.

Maybe try shutting off water and relieve any water pressure on the valve by opening up faucets. Reset power to valve. Maybe you'll hear valve re open
