Oreck Air Purifiers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

THE PROBLEM SEAMS TO BE WITH THE THICKNESS OF THE CARPET AND THE PAD-ALL VACUUMS NEED TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE IF THE PAD AND THE CARPET ARE THICK THE VACUUM WILL PULL ITSELF TOWARD THE FLOOR SLOW DOWN THE BRUSHROLL ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE AUTO SHUTDOWN ON THE MAGNESIUM BECAUSE THE VACUUM CANT BREATHE. TAKE IT TO YOUR LOCAL ORECK AND THEY CAN PUT A FEW HOLES IN YOUR SOLEPLATE AND THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE.

Pushed on the ends where wires make connection and it fixed the problem. Just a dirty contact. When I say pushed I mean lightly

which model XL series do you have? There is obviously something shorted or arcing on the plates of the cell. look at the plates and see if they are laying flat and the wires are all still attached across the front of the cell. A loose, sagging, broken or bad contact on the end plates will cause the bad cell lights. clean off the area where the cell makes contact inside the unit. The metal strips that run across the ends of the cell make contact with the plates inside the cell and get their power from them, dirty contacts in any part of these contacts will cause the problem. Even a bad contact from the end cap to the plates inside the cell will cause this. Try wiggling the cell around, kind of push on it on edge to get the plates to shift slightly and clean the points where the plates touch the outer strips on the sides. Check for arcing with the lights turned off,

Top lid might not be closed completely. Should snap shut

I did the same thing and now I need to replace the cell collector. You need to replace it to if the wire is broken. Please let me know the outcome of your problem.

Where to find the part is hard to get.

Hi there,

We purchased one of these in April 2009. Same issue appeared with us. Cleaned the cell and the "clean collector cell" still stayed illuminated. Checked the manual and the trouble shooting section stated to hold down the "air revitalizer button" till the "clean collector cell" light blinks three times. After this operation the light went out and all was fine!!!! Hopes this clears your issue!

slow blinking light means the unit is in DRY MODE.. flast blinking light means some sort of arcing or bad power supply.. if in dry mode let the unit run for an hour and it will stop blinking ..

The battery inside the handle is losing connection stick a rubber foot inside to push in battery further

The bent wire is the negative ion transmitter.

Here is a link to where you may can find what you need. You will need to have the correct model number (not just XL Tower Air Purifier) , to find your mode.

Hope this helps you find the wiring you need. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Soak the filter in soapy water overnight

Depending on what model , when my red light comes on and flashes it usually has something stuck in the cell it can be real small even or lots of build up on cells, when you pull out the cell you can determine if the wires are broken.

I'd give oreck a call... To speak with an Oreck representative call: USA: 1•800•989•3535 Canada: 1•888•676•7325

you have to check OM. Usually you'd have tu push something 10 times to reset

They discontinued it. Just go to any aquarium and buy a carbon filter pad and cut it to size. They sell big sizes for under $10 and just stick it in your Oreck Air 5 air purifier. Works just as well and cheaper!!

If you have a oreck store take them in. Thanks for the tip I won't buy any oreck products
