Test again?

If you have not tested the fans yet, it is recommended that you attach the connector to the fan header on the circuit board, put water in the tank, temporarily re-attach the connector for the ribbon cable to the control panel.
You will have to have to turn the cube over to be right-side up so that the float switch lets the unit sense that there is water in the reservoir. This means that the cube will be sitting on top of those open circuit boards.
Just be careful about putting your hand near that power supply when you have this plugged in!
...And if you have been resting this on a cookie sheet, find a towel or something else non-conductive so that it is not resting on metal, before you plug it in.
Having done all of that, when you plug it in, and turn it on using the control panel on the top, the fans should spin.
Please consider clicking on the "AtaBoy" button below even if you are not going to do the fix. This article took a ridiculous amount of my time to photo and write, and its nice for me to see how many people have read it (42 so far!) If you do the fix, please comment below (plus or minus), you'll be helping the next person a lot. Pay forward!
