Dyson AM10 Humidifier: What does a Piezo do?

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 13:09:29 -0700

My AM10 has stopped misting, doesn't draw any water from the tank.
I am trying to troubleshoot it.
First stop is something called a PIezo, which is accessed from a panel on the bottom of the base unit.
my looks to be in poor condition but I don't know if it is the source of the problem. in fact I don't even know what it does.
it appears to have a watertight seal. so it must be sitting at the bottom of the water tray.

humidifier: I have an April Air 600. 2005 year model

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 13:55:15 -0700

I have an April Air 600. Approximately a 2005 model year. I have replaced the solenoid before about 3 years ago. I clean and replace the water panel every year. Last year when i changed to summer mode and removed the panel it didn’t have as much mineral deposits in it as it normally would. Didn’t think much of it at the time. When I went to start the system this session I had no water flo. Everything seemed to check out so after searching here and a few other sources I figured it was the solenoid again. Sources indicated 3 years of use from the solenoid. OK. Replacement of this is not a quick task. I only have about 5 inches of space between the intake duct and the wall. I have to remove the whole unit from the furnace to access 2 screws to switch them out. I made sure water flow direction was correct. Yes that was a learning event we won’t dwell on. So I have supplied some pics of the control and solenoid. I can’t get the water panel to reset on the control. I have water flow. I have not checked the new solenoid for continuity. I am at work and going to restart this when I return home. Any suggestions?

Ok. So I ramped up the temp. I checked the wiring with a voltage indicator. It chirped. I let t run for 5 minutes. The light’s never went off. They also didn’t blink at any time. The wires to the solenoid are identical. Same markings I had dripping water when I replaced the solenoid but now I’m thinking it may not have a good flow and need to replace the saddle valve and supply line. Step 3 or 4. Who knows. I took another photo of the control panel and posting it. It’s very dusty. Issue? Not sure. So do these control panels Die? What is the life expectancy? The only wearable parts here are the solenoid and control panel. ? I did mention that I replaced my furnace a few years back. I now have an Aireease. It’s a tank. My old furnace was a “ State of the Art 2 Stage High Efficiency TRANE 🤣”. It died. The circuit board tanked. Fix was 3000 grand. Trane sad oops. Bad design. Oh well. Want to buy another one? Hell no! Should I replace my humidifier?

Recently moved into our 2013 build home and need to recommission the subject central humidifier.

Would like to have a copy of the manual.

The filter is 🤮. Looking to figure out what needs cleaning and how. Also whether the filter is ordinarily cleanable (this one is so bad we’re going to replace it).

Best source for replacement filter?

Thank you.

humidifier: Why can’t I fix my Fridgedair dehumidifier?

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 10:43:12 -0700

There are no repair shops in my province willing to even attempt a repair to any dehumidifier. The company only offers a one year guarantee and any problems that occur after that are apparently unfixable and the machine is useless. That is ridiculous…in my estimation.

humidifier: Crane Ultrasonic Humidifier Burnt Out

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 15:29:50 -0700

Hi, I have Crane EE-6909.Yesterday, I accidentally plugged it in while the cord was still wet and it shorted. I have taken the bottom off in order to fix it but don’t know what I am looking at here. Do you think I need a new fuse in there, or is it more likely a circuitboard that is destroyed? Can I fix it?

Essick Pedestal Humidifier: Essick Pedestal Humidifier Broken Caster Repair

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 23:31:30 -0700

I have an Essick Pedestal Humidifier and one of the casters got broken. I looked at the bottom and it looks like the plastic that houses the caster's leg part is broken and the broken plastic piece is still on the caster's leg. How do I put it back together and make it strong? The humidifier gets about 4 gallons of water when it's in use and itself is another 10 lbs so it needs to be strong enough to carry a load of 40 lbs or so. What material should I use and how should I put it back together. Pls see the pictures. Thank you all in advance for your suggestions.
