If your MistAire Humidifier isn’t properly converting water into mist, use this guide to replace the spring inside the cap component.

The spring-loaded (a.k.a. bottle-valve) cap on the humidifier's tank lets water transfer from the filled tank to the heating element in a controlled manner. If the cap has a faulty spring, the water will stay in the tank and the humidifier cannot successfully produce mist. This may occur if dirt accumulates within the base, or if the humidifier is old.

Before using this guide, make sure the tank is empty and does not contain any water. For parts, all you need is a new spring to replace the broken one. These are linked here, on the right hand side. These directions do not require any tools and should take around ten minutes to complete.

There is a white plastic rod that goes through the center of the cap. It has a flat, circular end and a pointed end. The pointed end has a small, blue, silicone ring around it.
Push the flat side of the rod until the pointed end protrudes from the other side of the cap.
