[Everything doTERRA] Re: How do you reach the disk in the lotus diffuser?

Margaret, that info is listed in my previous comment just a couple of comments above (dated 8/03/12).  I have not purchased any lately, so
I cannot tell you the current price.

UPDATE: I successfully replaced the ceramic disc. I had some complications, including crimping a wire in half that I then had to splice.
Here is what worked:

1.Remove two screws from back of the "bulb" bottom of the unit.
2. Remove screw from the little recessed area above the reservoir on the interior of the unit. (I could not successfully replace this screw)
3. Gently pry the unit apart from the bottom. There are 3 plastic "clips" along each side of the tear-shaped unit.
4. Move the back portion of the unit upwards at the tip to disengage the L-hook on the tip of the faceplate of the unit. As you move the back portion up, slide the faceplate in a downward direction. This should fully separate the faceplate from the back portion. Be gentle there are wires attached.
5. Remove the two screws from the white plastic bracket that houses the fan and remove the fan and it's brackets, so you can reach all the screws in the assembly that houses the disc.
6. Remove the four screws from the metal base that holds the disc and dislodge the metal base.
7. Use the key tool that comes with the replacement disc to remove the old disc.
8. Disregard the black rubber washer that your new disc is packaged in. . .place new disc in location. Fully tighten the winding ring on top (otherwise you are subject to leakage). Be careful to maintain positioning of the rubber seal ring on the outside edge of the base unit when you reposition it to attach to the reservoir bottom. Fully tighten the base unit with the new disc back onto the bottom of the reservoir.
9. Reassemble the face plate and the back portion of the unit. CAUTION: Double check that all wires are loosely housed and not in the path of the 2 screws in the back of the unit or positioned so that they would be crimped by the "snap-on" clips.

Wah Lah! Working Lotus Diffuser, $8.95 for one disc (including taxes & shipping)

OK, I'm in the same boat. I have the replacement, I have the nifty keytool, I can't figure out how to get my fingers and the tools inside the reservoir. . .it is like the reservoir is too deep to get the key in position to torque. Whoever's husband changed theirs. . .how did you get access to the disc? I thought maybe using a pair of needlenose to hold the key tool. . .my son did not return them to the toolbox. Has anyone who has done this successfully advise?

Hi, This is Annette in Montana,
I have two lotus diffusers, and have called doTERRA several times because they both after one year stopped the mist/diffusing.  All they have told me is I must mail them in for repair.  Pay shipping both ways and cost of repair, so I haven't done it.  After reading your post it sounds like you can purchase "a replacement disk",  where do you purchase them?  About what is the cost?  My husband is a good handyman.
