WILL NOT START....NO POWER? BOUGHT AT SEAR JUNE OF 2010. HONEYWELL MODEL 17000

That capacitor, if it is the start up capacitor will cause the motor to hum loudly. If it is the 'run' capacitor and is open circuit the motor will not start.
That is an easy fix.
he flickering lights may suggest a different issue.

The motor needs to be oiled. There are places to add oil on the ends of the motor. There may be a start capacitor that needs replaced too.

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

You may check to make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the outlet. Test the outlet is functioning properly using another appliance or lamp. Also, check the fuse or circuit breaker. The outlet may be overloaded if other appliances are also in use. Establish and correct the cause of the overload. If none of these works, then there is something wrong with your purifier unit and contact the store where you purchase it or Honeywell for replacement. It is advised not attempt to repair the unit yourself.

Does this unit have a 3 volt battery in the control panel like the 17005 model? The battery lasts appx 4-5 years then the unit doesnt seem to work any more once you change it. The unit must be left plugged in while you change the battery otherwise you lose your programing. If your not under warranty, UNPLUG it then pull out the filter, take out the 6 screws, separate the sides, and expose the fan. If the fan does not spin very easilly with no drag, the bearings are gummy; which is why nearly all small motors get replaced. The motor can be easilly disassembled, gummy grease washed off with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab, and reoiled with synthetic oil. These units are designed to gum up and require replacement at approximately the same time the warranty expires. They would last almost indefinitely if oiled in their little oil ports occasionally (every couple of years). If your bearings are stiff, then a hidden safety device has tripped to avoid a fire, and if you are handy, you can replace the blown fuse if you can locate it on the circuit board, or the blown over temp device. If you have to pay some one to do this, it is cheaper to replace the whole machine in this throw away world.
