You mean steam? I don't know if you can fix it if it doesn't release steam. That is a problem with the motor or you don't have enough water in the tank. Leaking is my only problem.
thats not to detect the water level, it is to detect if the upper part of the equipament is in place, so it wont work if the water reservoir isnt propely placed, its a small wire that when exposed to a magnetic field, it closes the circuit, allowing the energy to flow.
@@LucasSouza-bc9iz thanks for your reply. I think I determined that it does detect the water level based on the position of the floating ring, using magnetism as you said
It's called a Reed switch .. it's a glass tube filled with inert gas with two iron electrodes in it. When a magnet comes the 2 iron electrodes attract and the contact closes. So the float in the device contains a magnet that closes the contact if there is enough water present. Some one just gave me a broken humifier and was looking for videos about it. Reed switches are older devices, these days you have solid state devices called HALL-effect sensors that look like a transistor. For instance if you have a laptop one half often has a magnet and the other half a hall-effect sensor so it can detect if its open or its closed. Also most brushless motors like in the fan of a PC have one of three hall effect sensors that sense where the magnets in the rotor are so it knows which coils to magnetize.
(Disclaimer don't do this, please) I decided to stick my finger in the base of a ultrasonic humidifier because I'm smart (sarcasm). It felt like I put my hand on the burner of a stove. This happened because, the molecules in the liquid in my cells being shaken around, possibly causing some minor bruising or hematoma within my affected cells. Like any cause for bruising, it was uncomfortable.
