Kenmore air cleaner




By joane99 on Mar 23, 2008

" "
I just got a new Kenmore air cleaner/ionizer. For two days it emitted a very chemical smell, so strong that it made us nauseous, burning eyes and headaches. We tried running it all night to see if it would let up but it only became worse. What would cause a strong smell like this? Nothing is hot and we checked the filters and motor and they were cool but for something that is supposed to clean the air, it made the air smell terrible.

Same Problem

-   I've had the same problem. I bought one for my baby's bedroom to help make some white noise and clean the air but the smell was terrible. I took it back and got another one just in case something was wrong with it. I'm having the same smell with the new one. I have an older model in my other daughter's bedroom and that one never smelt like this. -   loripalla

I just bought the same model and also have the smell. My previous one did not so I returned the first unit and the second units smells the same. I called Sears Customer Support and they told me that it is probably due to the factory smoke test they do on each unit. He said let it run for a few days and it should dissapate. I went a step further and am trying a new filter and if this works he said call the store and they will get me a new filter.
