Question about Sharper Image Hybrid GP (SI724) Air Purifier
THE WIRES ARE BROKEN AND MISSING TRYING TO FIND WHERE I CAN GET REPLACEMENT PARTS SHARPER IMAGE WONT HELP AS I BOUGHT THIS BEFORE THE OLD COMPANY WENT BANKRUPT
I have 2 of these air purifiers and I love them. I came to this site looking for a resolution because 1 of them stopped working properly. After running for about 30 seconds, the red light would come on. I had cut out 1 wire that was broken and thought that was the problem. There were sparks when it was turned on. After reading a couple answers here, I took a closer look and noticed that a second wire was also broken at the bottom. I just cut the second broken wire off the top and removed it and the purifier works great now. No more sparks!

interesting, when SI went out of business the Copley (Boston) store was clearing everything out. I bought 3 extra grids, they were like $25 a piece instead of $80. so I tossed my current one, put a new one in, it worked fine. for some reason when it was time to clean it, it went in the dishwasher, and that was it, that grid never worked again. I think it was the jetdry rinse aid that screwed it up

Oh there are a lot of known issues! I used to work for sharper image and I believed in this items very much so until mine broke. However after a year I figured out how to fix it. Take the big square collection grid out and the back screen off. Now get you a thick rag and be very careful because there are several tiny wires going up and down. Smaller than dental floss, you need to be very careful because you can either brake them or slice your finger wide open( Under any circumstances I can not be held liable for the information I am giving you try this at your own risk). Now with the towel very gently go up and down each wire like you are polishing a brass pole(once again these wires are thin and can break or cut you). Do this from the back side of the unit and from the inside where the collection grid that you took out sits. Take your time and be thorough, and presto your 400 dollar air cleaner is working again.
