Honeywell Enviracaire 12520 Air Purifier Questions & Answers
Electric motor makes screeching sound
The motor has worn bushings making the motor shaft hot and swell and eventually seize. You can let it cool off and it will more than likely run again until it heats up again. The motor will have to be replaced if you want to repair it.

Screw top stuck
Sit on the top, and pull on the handle very hard. It will pop off, and most likely not break.
Then you will need to take the nut off with some pliers, and glue it back into place.
Most likely some water got into your filter at some point, and it rusted. Making it nearly impossible to screw out. So when you turn the top it spins the nut instead of screwing out. Mostly due to the circular type nut that Honeywell poorly chose.

What is this burning smell from my Honeywell air purifier
am sorry to disappoint you, once this condition is reached, it means the motor windings have overheated and your motor needs to be replaced, This is the only best thing to do to rectify this situation. This indicates that the insulation covering the wire used to make the winding of the motor has been cooked by the overheating and it is shorting out ,THIS WILL CAUSE THE MOTOR CATCH FIRE.
Please unplug the unit and have the motor replaced or buy a new unit for your safety.
