Cleaned appliance and now it will not run i plug

live cleaner

MAKE SURE THAT THE LID OF THE FILTER IS PROPERLY CONNECTED SOMETIMES THESE DEVICES ARE
BUILT WITH SWITCH FILTER

Assuming that the unit was working fine before you cleaned it. Did you remove the back lower panel while cleaning it? It the panel that holds the electrical socket and fuse. If you did, check to see if the electrical connector is seated to the main board. Also check if the keyboard connector (the one that looks like a telephone jack) is plugged into the main board. Also, check if you model has a switch on the back that it is set to the on position. And press the power switch on the front keypad to see if that make the unit work. That all I can think that might have gone wrong.

Hi lmallu0821,

1. Make sure the safety cut-out switch on the lint screen in the back is properly engaged by the plastic plug on the screen. If this is out-of-position, nothing works (nor should it). This may fix the problem.

2. Check the fuse; if blown again, you have a short someplace that the fuse is protecting you from. Look for loose connections, or damaged components. Also make sure that nothing got left in the machine (eg. thread from cleaning rags), or any wires didn't get properly re-connected when you cleaned it.

If this doesn't fix it, write back with more details - - will the fan run, but not the O3 plates, or vice versa - - I'll need more infomation at that point.

If/when this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly.

Hi vonniekay,

Absent any more details about your situation, this will get you started.

clean plates and blow out guts with compressed air. clean plates with mix of water and amonia!

there is only one other thing that i can think of that might work ifyou haven't done that yet. right above the timer button there is a small pin hole. that is your reset button. you need like a safety pin or something really small to go in that hole. hold it for about 3 seconds. take the pin out and the system should reset back to normal. sometimes when you clean the filters that happens. not every time but sometimes. Now if that doesn't work. i would call the manufacturer again so see if they have any other solutions or if they can send you one more. I do apologize for the inconvenience. I will keep looking for you to see if there is anything else that i can suggest but try that first.

The reason why Sharper Image went out of business is because the Ionic Breeze was proven to be ineffective product and harmful to use in some cases based on Consumer Reports data as well as data from the EPA. They sued Consumer Reports, lost the case, and had to pay all the legal bills.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to making decision on all ionizers by the end of the year. It's quite possible that no one will be selling them anymore.

There is thread I left in the Ionic Breeze section about the EPA data on ionizers and the harmful effects of using them as well as a link about what happen to Sharper Image.

This product should have been regulated a long time ago. Orek and few others are going to be pulling the plug on them real soon.

Ionizers do cause a bad odor to happen. I work in the copier business and do work around machines that can cause an ozone to happen when there are ran. Copiers like ionizers can cause an ozone to happen because the air particles are being electrically charged. The smell isn't good to be breathing in as well.

Here is an EPA report about ionizers

The Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to be making a decision about the health effects on ionizers by the end of the year. Their decision can effect selling ionizers all together.

This industry should have been regulated years ago and after what happened to Sharper Image this year due to their arrogance it isn't doing the industry any favors. They went out of business because of Consumer Reports findings and tried to sue them for it.

If you really want the air in your house cleaned, the best way to do it is using a hepa filter.

You need to shut it off, unplug it, and pull both the filters out at once and then plug it back in, and push both filters in at the same time, simultaneously. This will re-set it.
Also, if this continues to happen, you must vacuum the insides of the unit, aside from the filters, themselves, it can get all clogged up.
We live on a busy street and our house can get REALLY dusty, we have a older home with carpets and two cats - so our unit really has to work hard!
Good luck!
