Can't clean Ionic Pro CA-500 inside?

This unit is a pain in the @$$ to disassemble but it CAN be done. The way I always look at it: Someone ASSEMBLED it.

Remove the four screws on the bottom stand followed by two screws on the bottom side of the unit. Then remove the tiny little screws up each side that hold the grill together (you will need a precision screwdriver).

Carefully pull apart- don't force it.

One half comes off (clean that half) in bathtub. The other half does not come off-vacuum that half out and use q-tips.

When re-assembling, watch for two things: First the wire cleaner (that slides) runs on a track on each half- pull it out a little to best allow for fitting. Second, there are little tabs at the top that fit under the control panel-watch for those.

email me at [email protected] if any problems.

If after cleaning the unit inside and it still doesn't work...get your frustration out by hitting it a few times...slide the blades in and out, hit the top...it worked for me! Now it works again!!

Take it outside and blast it with compressed air.

Took mine apart and found one of the ionizing wires broken and missing about 3 inches of if.

Have you tried blowing some canned air through the unit? You can find it in the computer department in any store. Do it outside.

I got mine apart and clean it with rubbing alcohol and it working better
