Cannot get bottom off to replace batteries - Oreck Refrigerator Air Purifier Air Purifier

I have the same unit.
Have you cleaned out the removable filters?
also the red light at the bottom indicates the time to clean the filters.
to reset it, use a paper clip. The red light on the bottom right is the filter indicator light, what looks like it should be a light beside that filter light, is actually a reset button, just poke it with a paper clip for a few seconds to reset. The bottom red light goes out

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

The bottom Grey piece turns 1/2" clockwise and 4 "D" batteries come out - replace yearly.

For the Fresh Air 2.0 or 2.1 remote, its oval shaped.

1. Hold the remote so that that the power button is facing up.

2. Then flip the remote in your hand so you can see the back side.

3. Then with your other hand, side your index finger from the top down the back side of the remote until you finger nail catches the a slot (about an inch from the top of the remote). Right below that slot, is a plastic tab that secures the battery cover. Using your finger nail, pull that tab down about 1/16" away from the remote to unlatch the cover.

4. Lift the cover off the remote, and you should see 2 AAA batteries. Remove the old batteries and replace with 2 new batteries.

5. Align the two tabs on the battery cover into slots on the back of the remote.

6. Gently press the back cover and the latching tab should shap into the remote.

Hope this helps.

no it`s caming that way

You could try some appliance repair shops. If you are able to solder the loosen wire , do so. but the ball-baering coming offf indicates a serious problem within the motor. Look in your yellow-pages for electric motor service. They could help replacing the baearing. But do not be surprised if you didn't get the bearing replaced. Those small appliances are meant for "disposable" use.

Replacement grids have been posted to ebay. You can replace the complete unit for $45 on ebay so that would probably be a better solution. The last grid I purchased on ebay for similar was around $20.

If you're talking about those little plastic tabs at the bottom, they aren't important. Their job is to wipe the ionizing wires when you take the grid out or replace it.

You might be able to pick up spare parts if you scour eBay long enough.

It has a battery that lasts up to five years, and you can not replace it.
