Venta - Airwasher LW44 Air Purifier Questions & Answers
How can I make my own venta Airwasher Water Treatment?
I use white vinegar and hot water. I soak the disk for a few hours. It's amazing. My venta is 10 years old. I also use different scented oils in mine to fragrance the room. I use it daily. I got a new venta but like the older model better. It is my sleeping machine it provides a white noise that I sleep very well to. The new one is too quiet and seems more fragile.

Do you have to replace the filter each year at
no .. there is no replacable filter .. you do have to clean the housing and disk stack .. the motor assembly comes out easily so you can clean things ... kind of nice 10 warranty with that ... follow instructions for water ..

My Venta Airwasher LW44 motor won't start
Test the motor to see if it works.
Make sure the motor is removed from the rest of the unit. To find out how to remove the unit please hit the "Go Back button and select the "How to remove the motor button"...
- Plug the unit in to a working outlet.
- Push the #1 speed button on top of the motor.
- You now need to engage the saftey switch to start the motor.
- Protruding from the motor are two plastic about 3-4 inch guiding arms.
- Look inside the end of both of these two guiding arms. One of the arms are hollow and the other one has a white safety switch in the arm.
- Use a pencil or small item to push in on the safety switch.
- If the fan sarts to rotate the motor is still working.
- If the fan does not rotate then the life of the motor has probably ended and a new motor is needed. ( insert motor part link)

Clean fan area
NOTE:It is easier to remove the motor when the upper housing is still sitting on top of the lower housing unit.
- Turn the power off by unplugging the unit.
- Next to the speed directions buttons there are thumb tabs. Press the thumb tabs so that they pop up and unlock the upper housing flaps. a tumb tab on
- The four flaps should then drop down like the peddles of a flower.
- Grab the center of the motor and lift straight up, be careful when pulling the power chord.
- The motor, fan and gear assembly should not be seperated from the rest of the unit.
This will let you clean with vinegar and water.
Great product. Germany design at its best

Venta l44 motor won't run less than a yr. old
I own a 3-year old Venta L44 in which the motor stopped turning the wheels inside. It just sat there humming and eventually got hot. I sent an email to the Venta web site asking if they had a recycling program -- they don't. Instead, they replied (after a few days) stating that the motor was covered under the 10-year warranty. They sent me a new motor which was super easy to install. It didn't cost me a thing. It nows works perfectly.

Motor runs but wheels don't turn
If you have used it for a long time then minerals in the water may have built up somewhere and now needs to be removed wither by cycling a cleaner of some sort or physically scrubbing the moving parts yourself.
The first ting to try is unplug the machine, remove all the filters, and try cleaning with vinegar. Smells bad I know but following up by cleaning with a regular detergent should remove the smell. Detergent alone will not break up the calcium, the acid in the vinegar does that.
Next we need to find out what gears may have slipped or if there is a belt out of place. If everything mechanical is in working order then the cam from the motor to the rest of the unit may be shucked in which case it would depend on where it is broken to determine the best repair. Please, if you could as some problems like this are not always simple, take a look at your particular unit and provide me with some further description of what is going on.
