/diy/ - Do It Yourself

thing looks pretty decent inside.

The controller has a button to push and a light that turns green when its ready. The indicator turns green but pushing the button, nothing happens. no motor no noise no flicker of light no anything.

I want to try to fix it. There appears to be (yellow) wires running into the tank. Are they attached to a probe that detects the tank level and wont work if it doesnt detect water? Seems unnecessary for a $20 fog machine. The thing was full and the probe was submerged, so if its faulty it wont let the pump run, cuz this probe runs between the mini pump and the controller, i think.
