Living air purifiers come in many different shapes and sizes to fit any need or space in your home. But what do you do when the living air purifier starts to show issues?
Thankfully, most living air purifiers are quite simple to operate and don’t require much technical knowledge to repair if something goes wrong.
In this guide, we’ll go over some of the most common troubleshooting problems you may experience with your living air purifier and how to fix them quickly and easily!
Checking the Filter and Changing it if Necessary
If you’re experiencing problems with an air purifier and want to learn how to fix it, it might be as simple as changing out your filter.
With an electronic model, some troubleshooting can be done by simply pressing a few buttons on a digital display; with more complicated devices, however, there will most likely be some parts you need to replace.
For example, some models use HEPA filters that need regular cleaning; others may use carbon filters for odor elimination and air conditioning systems. The first step is knowing what type of filter you have and replacing it when necessary.
Most local electronics stores will have appropriate replacements available for purchase if you don’t already own them. If that doesn’t work, follow the article further.
Cleaning the Plates, Fans, Filters, or Motors
Sometimes, things just get dirty. If your purifier is running but not producing good results, take a look at its components and make sure they’re clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner to suck dust out of all those nooks and crannies, or remove individual pieces like fans and filters (they can be cleaned with warm water).
Dirt can stop air from flowing through a purifier properly, which will hinder its ability to remove pollutants from your air.
Resetting the Unit
Sometimes, air purifiers can have internal glitches that are causing some of these problems. The best way to get rid of them is by resetting them completely.
Unplug your purifier from both the wall and your computer and leave it alone for a while.
Then plug it back in, unplug it again after a few seconds, then leave it alone again until you start feeling comfortable with its performance.
If you’re still having trouble after that, consider calling customer service or emailing them directly to ask for help or troubleshooting tips.
Replacing the AC Adapter
If your air purifier is running but just isn’t producing enough clean air, then it could be that your AC adapter is faulty.
To fix it, you’ll have to open up your purifier and see if any components appear broken or burnt.
It may not be an issue with AC power at all! Check whether other adapters (for TV, radios, etc.) are working in your home and buy a new one if yours seems faulty.
If there aren’t any issues with other products, then try replacing your AC adapter for good measure.

Why does my air purifier not work at all?
When your air purifier does not turn on at all, check that you have plugged it in and turned it on using its control panel.
If that doesn’t solve your problem, check to make sure it has enough water or filter life left.
You may have to replace a filter or add water if your unit has run out of either.
When one of these components is damaged or missing, your air purifier will not operate properly and may be dangerous to use because of a lack of filtration and ventilation.
How do I clean my living air purifier?
You can clean your living air purifier in one of two ways: first, you can use a soft cloth and mild detergent to wipe it down.
You can then use a vacuum to suck up any dust that has accumulated on its surface.
Your second option is to unscrew or unplug your machine, give it a good wash with mild detergent and warm water, dry it well with a towel, and leave it out in an area exposed to circulating air for approximately 12 hours.
If you have pets or smokers in your home, clean your machine more often as allergens tend to stick on surfaces more often than they do with hard floors.
