Had some problems with my lava lamp. The article helped me to fix the mistake I made while setting the lamp up bestadvisor.com/how-to/how-to-fix-lava-lamp-problems
If the lava in your lamp lies flat or isn’t flowing the way it should, you should try the following steps:
If the wax is shaped like a dome, probably, your lamp is simply overheated. Turning off the lamp for a few hours may solve the problem. But take note that no lava lamp must run for more than 10 hours non-stop.
If the lava is melted but lies flat, you should check the bulb underneath. It may be dead and need a replacement. Also, check whether the metal coil that accelerates the melting of the lava is reliably nestled at the bottom of the lamp. If not, you should twirl the globe in the base to let the coil drop back into place.
If this doesn’t suffice, check the lamp’s surroundings. Ideally, the lamp should be operated between 69 - 74 degrees F. Don’t place it on a TV set or near a radiator. Also, avoid placing it in direct sunlight.
