Yes sounds like you left it on for to long. 1 remove the globe from the base and set it on a. When it does go back down turn it on again. The older lava lamps used to work a lot better.

If this happens turn the lamp off immediately and let it sit undisturbed for 24 hours then turn it back on and run as normal. The problem i have is the wax melts but just makes a mound at the bottom of the bottle the lava is not moving the lava is sitting at the bottom of the globe. No flow low flow lava brand globes aka the lava is not moving or the lava is sitting at the bottom of the globe if the lamp has warmed up completely the lava is melted and the lamp has been on for at least four hours and the lava either settles to the bottom and stops flowing or the lava never flows at all follow the instructions below. It never goes to the top of the lamp.

The wax lava in lava lamps flows upward and back down because the wax and the water solution is closely balanced in density and buoyancy. Mine had the habit of doing this. Your lava lamp s flow may not be as lively as that of another lava lamp but that does not necessarily make it defective or in need of repair. The wax just stays at the bottom and does nothing.

Check the operation instructions that came with your lava lamp before taking corrective measures to alter a lamp that has slow or zero flow.
