First time posting and I'm rather a novice when it comes to diagnosing lava lamp problems, so I'll ask the crowd here. OK so my brand new lamp took a spill, but only dropped a couple and landed on carpet without even a scratch. However, afterward no matter how long I give it to warm up I still have a chunk of wax floating at the very top. Why? And what can I do about it?

I had the same problem with a Disney lamp
Rock solid and stuck on top
I used a blow dryer you use for your hair (NOT a heat gun)
I slowly melted it (keep relocating the air stream) until it broke loose and floated to the bottom
This seems to be a result of too hot of a lamp
Either put a dimmer on it or use a lower wattage bulb
I do believe it is from running too hot. I fell asleep with a pillowcase over my clearview trying to get it to flow and when I woke up a few hours later the whole wax puck was floating at the top. Luckily once it cooled and I gave it a gentle spin it did sink back to the coil.....
