Replace Water & Seed Pods in AeroGarden
If you have cleaned the Pump from a planted AeroGarden, it’s now the time to reassemble your planted
AeroGarden.
Turn the Grow Surface right side up on a towel or in your sink and replace Seed Pods by gently guiding
roots into the Grow Surface Openings. (Use Seed Pod placement reference from page 2.)
Pour water from the containers (see page 2) back into Bowl and, if needed, add fresh water up to “Fill to
Here” inside the Bowl.
Place Grow Surface in Bowl and place
Bowl on Base.
Plug in AeroGarden and make sure the
Control Panel is set to the right plant type
(Tomatoes/Peppers, Salad Greens, etc.), and that
the Pump is working.
Congratulations! Enjoy your quiet Garden!

Troubleshooting
Cross Beams
Sometimes plant roots get tangled around the Cross Beams
and pull them out of the Bowl. Place Cross Beams back into
Brackets inside Bowl. The Brackets are on the inner front and
back walls of the Bowl.
Missing or Torn Filters
If you have planted more than three Seed Kits in your AeroGarden, you may notice the Filter has started to
degrade. Or, you may have misplaced the Filter while cleaning or replanting.
A temporary Filter can be made from a green scrubbing pad, like the ones used to scour pots and pans. Be sure
the pad is soap-free. Cut a 1-1/2” x 1-5/8” rectangle to use as your temporary Filter. New Pump Filters can be
ordered at www.aerogardendirect.com or by calling AeroGrow Customer Service at 1-800-476-9669.
Pump Does Not Start
If the Pump does not start, try each of the following:
• Make sure your AeroGarden is plugged
into a working wall socket.
• Press down firmly on the Bowl, to make
sure it is securely seated on the Base.
• With AeroGarden unplugged, remove
Bowl and check the metal Contact Strips
on Lamp Arm and on back of the Bowl.
If they are corroded, clean them with an
old toothbrush and white vinegar.
• The Pump is designed to cycle on and off. It may not start because your AeroGarden is in a “Pump-Off”
cycle. To set AeroGarden to “Pump-On” cycle, press the “Select” button on the Control Panel until you reach
“Salad Greens.” (If you have an AeroGarden PRO or AeroGarden Deluxe, set it to the 24-Hour Light Cycle.) Be
sure to return the Control Panel to the correct plant setting after confirming your Pump has come on.
