Thread: need help with fog machine

Tweet

I have this fog machine that when I press the button and
try to make it fog it makes a loud buzzing/humming noise.
What is wrong with it and can I fix it. Also I have another
little one that I bought that has a remote control got left
out overnight that I think does not work at all
(it said indoor use only). I found that after it was broken.
Please help. Thank you.

Drain fogger. Check the pump and pump hose. Make sure the hose is still attached. Check hose for clogs. After checking for potential problems...run the fog machine as normal with distilled water. Drain out water and try the fog juice again. Hopefully that will fix it!

for the remote control problem... open the houseing and let it air dry.

I've never had much luck with repairing fog machines. you can buy these things relatively inexpensively for around $30 from any number of online Halloween specialty retailers. Here's one example I found on HalloweenExpress.com (http://www.halloweenexpress.com/fog-...0w-p-5142.html)

What is the make and model? Can you post a pic?
Check the nozzle to see if it's clogged. You can stick a needle or small wire in the opening to clear out any debris.
The buzzing sound makes me think that the pump isn't getting any fluid, though. When you press the button, does it spit any fluid out the nozzle at all?

The remote works. the fogger does not.

The model is one of those regular foggers like from walmart.
The wireless one is a $20.00 from spirit.
No.
