20 Most Recent Sharper Image Ionic Breeze GP SI730 Air Purifier Questions & Answers

I have a sharper image ionic breeze hybrid gp that ran fine for years unitl it recently started sparking / arcing at the base of the grid blades and always in the same spot. I cleaned it several times but the sparking always came back and the unit went into either "drying grid" or "attention required" mode. The solution I found was to stand the removable grid in 2 inches of Pine-Sol cleaner 50/50 diluted with water for 24 hours then brush again with the cleaning brush and hot water. Presto! No more sparking.

This is a repair that someone I know didafter reading a post on the net.....regarding Quadra repairs....and here is a link for repairs....its all one link....so type it into your browser or paste it.....

Remove the grid assembly.

Remove the 4 screws holding the top on.

Gently remove the top as there are wires connected to it.

Once removed, find the microswitch assembly on the side. There will be 2 green wires going to this assy board (PCB).

Examine the bottom of this board. On both my units, the PCB wascorroded badly on the trace that runs from the center lead to the wireconnection. This will cause the microswitch to quit working.

What I did was soldered a wire from the center contact of themicroswitch (center piece coming through the board. There should be alarge solder pool) to the wire connection at the edge of the board.This just 'goes around' the corroded PCB trace.

Worked fantastic on both ionic breezes and took about 5 minutes for thesecond one. The first one took over 2 hours just to find the problem.

I hope this helps.....good luck...thanks for rating my effort....the Fang.

yes there is a fuse on the board located at the base of the unit...if that does not fix problem replace unit.. :) I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jovani_c02b023fe087f6cd

It means that the unit needs to be cleaned.

It means that the corona wires require cleaning in order for the ionic filtration to again begin working (it is not filtering when the light is on).

I have replaced those wires with chrome plated wire, stainless steel wires and platinum wires. Nothing lasts very long (weeks to a few months). There are no parts available for these machines as far as I know.
