Altura has a reciever icant seem to install does not fit

Are you fitting a Dyson approved fuse .........

Most times the cover has an interlock. Look for something prijecting from cover and the a place where this would fit into. Align cover then close. If you dont see one then look under or behind filter. Also check the filter is installed correctly (direction of airflow). Remove power (unplug or circut breaker) then power back on might reset as well.

Remember the glass plate is thicker than the ceramic. The whistling may actually be arcing of the metal tabs to the plate. Take the plate out and push the metal tabs in and towards the space where the plate sits. This will make the fit tighter and eliminate your problem. Re-install the plate.

The mesh screen filter on the back, may not be installed properly. There is a tab near one of the corners of the filter, that fits into a safety switch (much like the tab on a dryer door or washer door). It must be installed so that if pushes the trigger snugly. If the filter frame appears to be warped or bent, gently straighten it. Reinstall the filter and make sure the tab is tightly in place.

Hope this helped to solve your problem. Please let me know.

Hello, To smell like cigarettes, you would have to be smoking ? I would recommend calling the manufacturer and describing this problem to them. Somethings going on, and I would start there. I hope they can be of help to you.
Good Luck, Shastalaker7

sounds like it is working. You could replace the cells and prefilters with a disposable box filter that fits.

the plastic part that you are referring to is the lock or bracket that the door needs to lock into to and then it should swing shut. make sure that the filters are snug in there and not blocking the way of the door shutting cause that can cause things not to work right. if you have any other problems please let me know and i'll see what else we can do.

A newly installed system should still be under the contractor's labor warranty. Call them and ask them to come out to check on the unit and explain what you wrote above. This should cost you nothing and is the best way to get to the bottom of the problem.

Here is the link for the user guide; http://www.holmesproducts.com/pdfs/HAP223.pdf Check page 2 for fitting instructions, and yes the HAPF22 is the right filter. Hope this helps :)
