This isn't going to help you find the part I'm afraid, but:

Maybe you should forget fixing this (if it is your decision).
Apparently, there is controversy over the safety of ultrasonic
humidifiers.  Unlike other types, they apparently put large
amounts of particulates into the air (mold spores, pollen, minerals,
bacteria).  I heard (maybe a rumor) that the FDA has even considered
recalling them.

I thought they were mighty neat devices, but mine is now packed away...
