My Flair smells like it is burning and the plates are making a loud sparking sound

Your ozone generator may have gone bad. It's the small black rectangular looking apparatus located near the bottom of the unit. It usually has a zip tie holding it to the circuit board. You will have to take the Flair out of it's case to see it. Make sure it's unplugged and remove the bolt from the bottom of the unit. You can then slide the framework out of the casing. It's also possible that it's time to replace your Ceramic Ozone Plates. They have a life expectancy of 2 to 4 years. The Flair has two of them that slide into slots in the rear of the unit. You can see them when you remove the washable filter. All items can be purchased on Ebay. DM

same deal with mine. Im gonna open er up n give a look c. Im thinkin the fan motor is running but not enough 2 turn the blades. Im fixin 2 google fan motors now as a matter of fact.

pull the unit out of the enclouser and check the bottom for a circuit board and on the board their is a glass fuse see if it is blown. Also on that same board their is a small round black fuse that is labled f21 it is a 400ma 250 volt fuse on my unit and is soildered in this fuse is just for the ozone

Open the back and change the Ozone plate. then slide out the ION plate and clean it with denatured alcohol. If no light inside, you may have to replace the bulb and / or starter. Hope that helps.

ask the person who sold it to you if you do not know or cannot contact them please e-mail me at [email protected]

Hi Teresa,
that is certainly not the smell the machine should produce :)

The smells, other then fresh air, might be 'trapped' in the filter. So washing the filter (top rack of the dishwasher works for the metal mesh filters) might do the trick.

Another trick you can try is to put the purifier on the floor, turn it on high mode (away mode) and put a box over it. Let it run for an hour or two and the smells should be gone.

Make sure you have fairly new plates, to make the machine more effective.

try soaking the grid plate in ammonia

You got new plates they offer no support by phone? Could be some kind of dirt or contamination, the transformer could be shorting or sparking, write me at [email protected] or look me up on allexperts.com, it may be worth mailing to me and let me estimate repairs,

get more distance from the two sparking points....with the power disconected, pryde the two metal points apart as mach as possible..to a quarter of an inch!
