Venta Airwasher Clicking Noise - TRY THIS BEFORE YOU BUY NEW PARTS
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 07. 2024
- Venta Airwasher Clicking Noise - Our 3 month old Venta Airwasher developed a clicking noise (like a rattling noise) which was keeping us up at night. I was able to fix it myself without having to buy a new gear, mounting ring, or coupling. I simply turned the gear around and made sure the coupling was properly attached. In this video I show you how to take apart (aka, disassemble) a Venta Airwasher model LW25, change the gear and re-attach the coupling. Try this before you buy new parts to see if it fixes your clicking noise. #venta

You should do trouble shooting/demos for a living. You explained and showed better demos then most large companies do.
Ha! Thanks for the kind words.
Do you have a video ˋhow to take the disk-stack apart completely´ (to clean the individual disks better)?
As far as I can tell, the disk stacks don’t come apart. I’ve been trying to come up with a tool or bush to get in between but had no luck. If they get moldy, I put the stacks in a plastic bucket of water with a few drops of bleach. Then I rinse and use a toothbrush around the perimeter. I’ve also tried scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner. To sanitize I sometimes use a steam cleaner and blow steam in between the disks. Short of a power washer, I’ve yet to find a great solution.
This is one of the clearest DIY videos I've seen on YT. You are so concise yet well-spoken. I didn't have a grinding noise, but the flip fixed my case of the fan not spinning (resulting in the red malfunction light). Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad the video was helpful. And thanks for sharing what issue the flip solved since others may have the same problem.
Many people appreciated this video and said that they were also suffering from this issue and this trick sorted out their issue.
It means Venta’s QC and QA Departments needs attention.
Agreed!
My unit had the exact same problem the first day we took it out of the box. I followed your instructions, and it worked like a charm! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
The Venta is a very good humidifier. If you use an ultrasonic humidifier for long, a thin, microsize scale layer will cover everything in the room. It takes time, it needs several months, maybe a year, but everything will be covered a very hard to remove, very thin white scale-coat. So you can't use an ultrasonic humidifier for long because it only sprays the water, it's not real vapour. A used a heated device even, this effect appeared later but it was there.
So you need a real water evaporizer and this is that.
This clicking noise was my nightmare, because this device is awesome anyway. Thank you sooooo much you saved my life.
Glad the video was helpful. I much prefer the Ventas over the ultrasonic models. It’s neat to see the steam coming out of an ultrasonic, but I had the same issue with a coating of mineral deposits left on everything. I can’t imagine it’s healthy to breathe that stuff in.
Thanks for giving the solution up front, much easier to follow as you got into the details
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback.
Well done! Resolved the clicking sound!!! I agree with the other viewers who commented on your delivery - it was also well done! Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad this video was helpful.
I have never been expecting and believing to find such a great and perfect video about exactly my problem!
Thanks a lot! I am sure, my VENTA will live for many years again
I'm so happy the video helpful! I hope your VENTA lives again. 😃
I don't know what I would do without you! Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Worked perfectly, no more clacking and finally really clean again. 👍 up and five ⭐️
Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad the video was helpful!
This absolutely fixed my clicking problem as well. THANK YOU!! I will fall asleep much less irritated tonight!!
Ha! Thanks for the comment! Glad it was helpful!
Also worked for me, thank you! The noise was driving me nuts!
Wow! Thank you so much for the very clear and detailed explanation. The clicking started last night and was so irritating that I finally turned the humidifier off. Then neither of us could sleep the rest of the night due to hearing every creak of the house and even our own heartbeat. Terrible long night. I was so happy to find your CZcams video. It worked like magic!
Ha! I can totally relate. Thanks for sharing that and leaving a comment. 😃👍
Mine started clicking like this after about a week. It was keeping me up at night and this totally fixed it. Thank you.
Very welcome! Glad it worked!
Thank you! My venta started making the same noise and your video fixed it!
Wow this worked for me as well! Amazingly clear instructions and I love that you mention the issue upfront. I still watched the entire video to actually learn how to fix it, thank you!
You’re welcome and thank you for the feedback. Cheers!
YAAAAA!!! It worked. This clicking noise has been driving me to near madness since we bought it. Thanks for posting this video. 👍
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for leaving a comment!
You just earned a subscriber!! This was the quickest fix I ever did in my entire household handyman fixing career! It’s taking me longer to write this comment then it was to follow your instructions, but seriously you deserve praise for this. I’ve taken everything apart on my venta (least I thought I did) and cleaned everything and it was still making the clicking sound. I couldn’t figure it out for three years and just dealt with it!! I have one in every room for my kids eczema. Talk about great value! Thank you so much.
So glad it worked for you and thank you for subscribing. Our two Venta airwashers haven't clicked since I made the video. Cheers!
This fixed our LW25. Brilliant. Thanks!
Very welcome! Glad the video was helpful.
Worked on my 4-year LW25 as well! Thanks for posting!
Very welcome! So happy it was helpful!
Many thanks! 10 seconds to fix the problem that had been driving me up the wall. Great solution well explained.
Glad it was helpful! 😃👍
Like so many others have said, this is a great video. You clearly explain how to do this, and it worked for me. No more clicking noise! Thank you!
Very welcome!
Just a note to confirm this worked for us as well. Thanks
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for leaving a comment! Cheers!
Thanks.....Mine is 3 yrs old and this season just started w with that clicking noise......followed your process and all is quite again. Thanks so much.
Glad it worked!
After greasing the gears and going crazy about this, your suggestions worked fine for me. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
I don't normally post comments, but this fixed clicking noise on my Venta. Annoyed me for 2 years. Thanks for posting!
+idylwyld Glad this was helpful. The noise was driving me crazy too. Ha!
Amazing. Worked like a charm. At first, I thought it was the cable being on the side of the disc handle. This video helped loads. The clicking was driving me nuts. Instead of taking the gear off the coupling, I just rotated it!
Excellent! Glad the video helped!
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment!
It worked flawlessly. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment!
This worked for my 2 year Venta machine. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Thank you ! It worked! The clicking was driving me nuts
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment.
This video was clear and I was shocked that only had to watch it once to actually complete this task. Thank you so much.
Very welcome! Glad the video was helpful.
Thank you, for showing, how to open the upper box.
Cleaning was necessarry.
So usefull.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Thank you so so much for taking the time to put this together, this saved me a big hassle of trying to get this fixed!
So glad it was helpful. Our Venta hasn’t clicked since I made this video years ago.
Thank you for the tutorial. Like many others, it solved the clicking noise. However, mine still had a faint click even after the flipping. I had to lightly lube the coupling hole. Finally ZERO clicking!
Awesome! Glad it worked out and thanks for sharing that tip. My two Ventas haven’t clicked since I made the video.
Thanks. Fixed the sound on my 2 month old lw15 comfort plus.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for leaving a comment.
I had the exact same problem and this worked like a charm. Thank you so much for posting this!
You’re welcome. Glad it worked!
Brand new Airwasher (less than 3 days!), clicking on first use...so far, the clicking has yet to return after this fix. Thanks so much!
+Ryan B Glad this video was helpful. Thanks for the feedback!
It worked for me too! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you Sir for amazing information.You are the very best at explaining and keeping the info concise and not wordy. God Bless you. ❤
You’re very welcome. Glad the video was helpful.
Great fix! Thank you.
You are a hero! I just fixed mine and the ticking noise is gone ! Thank you !
Aw! Very welcome! Glad it worked for you! Cheers!
Thanks for this! I didn't have a clicking noise but this tutorial did help me fix another issue I was having.
Just curious what the issue was... just in case I eventually experience it. 😃
First, thank you VERY MUCH! My relatively new Venta (about 2 years old) started making a slight clicking sound at the beginning of this heating season, which I simply ignored because the unit seemed to be operating OK otherwise. Yesterday the trouble light came on as soon as the unit was turned on, and it was evident that the fan was immobile. I checked the power connection, etc., but got the same result repeatedly. On the chance that your video might help, I followed your instructions faithfully and VOILA! The unit is perfect once again. I cannot thank you enough!
So happy to hear that it worked for you! Thanks for letting me know. It’s always nice to hear that my tip is helpful to others. Cheers!
Such a helpful video! Clicking started on mine about two months after I bought it, kept thinking I had the disc stack flipped the wrong way and it was driving me nuts. Just tried this and the clicking is gone! Definitely needed a dust wipe on the inside too so that was good 😅. Thank you!!
Excellent! Glad the video was helpful!
I had exactly the same problem and managed to fix it with your instructions. Thank you so much!
Very welcome! Glad it worked for you. Ours hasn’t made the clicking sound since I made the video.
That was so specific for my exact problem. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
THANK YOU! I moved my unit out of the bedroom for this reason. Could not figure out the clicking noise. Very helpful and much appreciated!
Very welcome! Hard to believe it’s already time to bust mine out again for the winter. Feels like I just put them away.
Such a great advice and instructions! Thank you!
Very welcome! 😁👍
Thank you! I purchased my LW 44 Classic in Dec 2002. It still works great! I have replaced the gear a couple of times but never thought to try this. I just did it. Took 1 minute. Works great!!
So glad it worked out! Thanks for sharing your experience!
A day later it was making a new different subtle quieter clicking noise. This time, I sprayed a little food-grade lubricant in the gearbox. Silent ever since!!
Ha! Great tip! I’ve got both of ours running and no noises this year so far.
Great Video -solved the Problem. Thanks from Switzerland...
I’m glad it was helpful! My sister lives in Switzerland. It’s beautiful there!
Thank you! After one week mine starting the clicking sound. Your video helped 100%.
Glad to hear it helped. Cheers!
Wow, my unit is like 20 years old, and I have replaced the gear box twice, but both times under Venta's excellent guaranty. Was about to buy a new one on my own this time when I found your video, and BINGO, back in business until this side wears out!
Wow! 20 years is a good run! Nice to hear yours is still working. Thanks for leaving a comment!
This did the trick, many thanks! Also, because I pulled out the coupling, I had to figure out how to reconnect them right, and eventually I did - and I'm no engineer! Your tutorial gave me courage :)
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Brilliant-thank you! Just found your excellent tutorial and it solved the clicking noise problem on my Venta. Well done!
You’re welcome! Cheers!
Great video. Tip worked perfect to a problem I’ve had for years.
Excellent! Time for me to get ours out for the season. I feel like I just cleaned them and put them away a few weeks ago. Ha!
That worked for mine as well!!!! Thank you so much =)
Thank you so much! I had the exact same problem and it was driving me nuts and I followed your video and it’s fixed. Aaaah sweet silence 😴
Glad it worked out!
Thank you! It worked!
I made it right now and my clicking problem is gone!! THANK YOU!!
You’re welcome! Glad it worked!
worked for me on a two year old unit! thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment.
Man, thanks so much! This didn't actually directly resolve my issue, but it did inspire me to take a better look at the positioning of that motor. Turns out that motor (LW45) on one side wasn't properly clicked in place into the black 'bracket' part. It's very easy to overlook actually!
Excellent! So glad it was helpful even if not the same issue. Cheers!
Thank you for the video. It was 100% helpful to me! I read the manual on how to clean the gears but it was like trying to read Chinese algebra. Your video broke it down to where even I could do it. Thank you, once again!
Very welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for your service sir 🖖
Very welcome!
God bless you, Bruce. You solved my problem - the discs weren't turning on my Venta LW 44. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia.
You’re very welcome! Glad the video was helpful. Happy Holidays to you and your family as well. Cheers!
Excellent! Thank you!
Very welcome! Cheers!
I was about to throw my Venta away because it was completely filthy. Then I discovered your video and unscrewed it, cleaned everything and now it's like new. Thank you for this great video!
So glad the video was helpful! I have less of an issue cleaning the upper housing than cleaning the disk stacks. Cleaning the disks is one of my least favorite things to do at the end of the winter season. Every year I say I'm going to invent the perfect tool/brush to clean in between the disks. 😃
CZcams gold! As a german I can approve we are making mistakes because human. I am litterally delighted to see, there are still products made in the free world to be disassembled and to be maintained to last.
Indeed! I share your sentiment. 😃
Thank you so much for this Vedic! It helps!
Glad it was helpful!
Fixed mine as well! Thank you so much!
Very welcome!
Fantastic! Thanks! Solved my problem.
I’m so glad the fix has worked for you and many others. Since I posted this video, my unit hasn’t clicked once. I still haven’t had to replace any parts.
Excellent and clear video and solved my problem too. Many thanx!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Super cool fix! Thank you so much.
Very welcome! It’s that time of year again. I’m about to get out our humidifiers for the season.
Thank you! It works as described.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
It's really worked, the horrible sound goes away, thanks for your Tipps😀
Very welcome! Glad the video was helpful!

Thank you! Fixed it right away.
Excellent! Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome fix! Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you, work great on my lw15.
Excellent! Glad the video was helpful.
Thank you for making this video. It worked!
Excellent! 😃👍
Fixed for me as well! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for leaving a comment.
Worked!! Thank you so much!
😃👍
Thanks for the video, worked for a while. Found out that clicking was due to worn lubrication in the gears. Tried dry PTFE lubrication on the gears after opening box, but it lasted only a short time. Simple solution found, added 2 drops of liquid soap into the opening between the black teeth and the clicks disappeared. May need to add more when clicks come back.
Update: 2 drops of cooking oil work better.
Thanks for the info. Hope the clicking stops… it drove us crazy until I made this video. The nosies haven’t returned.
Worked perfectly! Thanks for the tip.
I will open, clean and lube it next time when it appears but I'm just happy to have peace and quiet for now again. It's a shame that companies create parts that are designed to fail regularly to get some additional on going income. I'd rather pay a bit more on the initial buy or the water additive.
I completely agree! Speaking of the water additive, I wish there was an easy way to clean the disk stacks. Every few weeks I fill the bottom with white vinegar and soak the disk stacks, but there’s still a brown residue on the disks after a month. I usually use a tooth brush to clean as much off as possible, but a toothbrush doesn’t go very deep. It’s a headache!
This solved my problem. Thank you!
Very welcome! Glad it worked out!
Awesome. Thanks.
July 2020, this video is still best) thank you so much, I just fixed problem with clicking and cleaned all dust
Excellent! Glad it solved the clicking.
Good job. I followed your directions and now it is back to normal sounding. Thanks, that clicking sound was really irritating.
Glad it worked! Thanks for leaving a comment! 👍
Thanks for your help. I also wanted to fix the rattling noise and first I tried it like you by turning the gear unit, but that didn't fix it for me. So I opened the plastic housing of this gear unit(you can use a small knife to go in between the housing to detach the clips that hold the three housing parts together), cleaned it and applied some new grease. Now the Venta runs without any rattling noises anymore:)
Glad the video was helpful and thanks for sharing your technique.
I really did not think this would work. Thanks I am now getting a peaceful sleep thanks. Also this also the machine 😀helps my wife's dry eye as we sleep.
Excellent! Glad it worked for you.
Wow!
Thank you so much, it really worked!
Very welcome!
It worked. Thank you
Excellent! Glad it worked!
Thanks so much - that was exactly my problem too!! 👍🏼
Glad it worked out!
Woohoo! I replaced my gear last year, and was very frustrated when it wasn't turning this winter. I too had the clicking sound. Your video solved the problem!
Excellent! Glad it worked!
@@BruceAlanR My excitement was short lived.
The gears rotated when I spun the fan, but didn't work in the machine. I then tried taking the gear box apart and cleaning it, and thought for sure it would work. Still only worked for a second. Upon inspection, I saw that a portion of the teeth were worn down on the gear. So...I need another new gear box. Since Venta doesn't warranty replacement parts, I either need to buy another new gear box, or just throw away the airwasher.
Sorry to hear that! The teeth of my gearbox don’t appear to have worn down at all in 3 seasons (10 seasons with our older model). Have you tried flipping the disk stack the other direction to see if the teeth catch?
@@BruceAlanR The teeth on one section of the gear are too deteriorated to catch. I'm hoping they haven't started making the gears out of an inferior material. My first gear box lasted several seasons.
I agree that would be pretty rotten! Thanks again!
Worked for me!
perfect 👍 thanks Sonnie😍 Grandma
Grandma- Thanks for leaving the best comment of the day! Made me smile.
Worked for me also. Thanks
Excellent! So glad the video was helpful.
