Sorry to hear your having issues, even though you didn't buy the moisture evaporator from us we would still be willing to help you out with the issue if you wish to send it to us.

The video below should help you, if not then it's probably an issue with the power cord.

I have had problems with my drystar not working. I opened it up and cleaned the switch contacts with a nail file.
That fixed it.
Other times, the cigarette lighter type plug had a disconnected wire inside it.
Both my drystar and my UV light have recurring problems with the plug falling apart after a while.
Replacement plugs fall apart too after a while .
An ohm meter is a handy tool to own, as you can check continuity with it.
Some tool stores have ohm meters for around $5

Getting to know your tools and how they work is a great idea, I have used the same Drystar for a long time and yes it does need a service from time to time. The plugs I also find need tweeking about with the soldered joints inside, but never anything serious, unless and when I drop them of course. That said I seldom use anything witha lead and plug any more.

That was a good video and time saver. I rarely have a need for mine. However, I have problems with the plugs as well. I keep a spare around just incase. I try never to pull on the wire to disconnect and grip the plug. Since I have a battery power pack for my bigger UV lamps I seldom use the small one in my box that came with the kit. Do you have more wet weather in your neck of the woods than the central east coast?

I am a firm believer in drying out in the early morning after moisture is on the w/s. I feel like moisture is my biggest enemy beside the temp!
