Shaklee Airsource air purifier makes a popping sound. I have two units. One does it loudly and makes a black ring on the area where it sits. The other just started popping very softly, no ring. Light

One unit was purchased in 2004. Module is newer in both units. The other is second hand. Wondering if the environment is contributing somehow, but its just an apartment.

    I have taken many of these apart and have found no reason for the popping sound other than environment. You may have high humidity which could contribute. In any case have not found to be a safety issue,just a little annoying. The black circle is material the unit is removing from your air. If you are in a closed environment that should become less evident as it cleans the air. If you are in a poor air quality area and open the windows often you will continue to get this. I have replaced motors in many units and have open up and cleaned many too. Message if you want more info.

    Thank you so much for responding to this question! I've got two units. I thought theywere going bad so I bought another one. Now its doing the same thing in a matter of days. Do you still work on these units? If not, do you know who does, in case I need it?

SOURCE: Styrofoam inside

There is a piece of styrofoam used in the construction of the air filter that is visible inside the unit. I think its there for noise reduction/insulation purposes and I wouldn't touch it if I were you. Unless you're talking about little styrofoam pieces that may have fallen in during packaging and shipping, I'd leave it alone.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Honeywell F 300 electronic air purifier

there's usually a troubleshooting guide stuck on the inside of the door.  it suggests a systematic flowchart for diagnosing the problem.
you should be able to isolate it to either the power supply (means replacement), or one of the cells.
on mine, one of the many little vanes got a bent during cleaning, and was shorting out.  (it doesn't take much.)  a quick visual and very little judiciously applied force straightened it out and fixed the problem.
i've also found that the unit will crackle a lot after a cleaning because of drops of water remaining in the cells, so i usually reassemble everything, but leave the unit turned off for an hour or two, which lets the blower on the furnace dry the cells for me.

SOURCE: Red Cleaning Light won't turn off

If the cleaning light stays red it is do to a failure of the nichrome wire sensor that detects deposit build up. This wire is locatied in the center where the grids are removed and easily broken. It runs from top to bottom twice. Look inside and if you see a loose wire that looks like a fine thread that is your problem. Not a do it yourself job.

I have power to my air purifier, the light blinks, nothing else happens

Hi there! It sounds like the rear grille may not be on properly, this will prevent the air purifier from running. Try removing the rear grille and replacing it, making sure it is securely closed. Also, be sure the unit is sitting on a flat level surface as this too will prevent the unit from running. Hope this was helpful!

Fresh air is making a popping sound

Carefully examine the plate. If there are black burnt spots next to the wire, it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, cleaning it will stop the popping sound.

Ionic Breeze Quatra Hissing Noise

While the device is turned off and the filter is out, tip the unit itself upside down and back. Do this several times, there is a slider type cleaner inside that moves as you turn the unit. Be sure to do this every time you clean your filter and you will never hear a peep out of the thing.

I have a new (3 weeks) Holmes air purifier. After a week of sitting on my bedtable, I noticed black sooty powder on my bed table and a week later, I found the same powder on the wall. It has ruined my...

Actually, your purifier is working as it should. The black soot is due to the negatives ions which attach themselves to the smoke/dust/dirt particles in the room and make them drop to floor. If you don't smoke it won't be much of a problem. Some minor residue will be found in and around the unit but this comes about because the negative ions make dust and other particulates fall to the floor. A quick wipe or vacuum easily eliminates this problem. Besides, I would rather have them on the floor than floating around in the air, wouldn't you?

My Fresh Air by EcoQuest blows out black like dust/substance. So much so that around the unit and on the wall is turning black. Is this working properly?

The unit is designed to drop particulates out of the air. If you have a heavily polluted area there are more allergens/dust in the air and this might create a 'dust-shower'.
The unit charges particles negatively so the particles bond with positively charged particles. Then the particles drop out of the air or stick to a nearby object. This could leave some black stuff on the wall. You can easily wipe this off, most of this is grime/dust.

Clean fan area

NOTE:It is easier to remove the motor when the upper housing is still sitting on top of the lower housing unit.
  1. Turn the power off by unplugging the unit.
  2. Next to the speed directions buttons there are thumb tabs. Press the thumb tabs so that they pop up and unlock the upper housing flaps. a tumb tab on
  3. The four flaps should then drop down like the peddles of a flower.
  4. Grab the center of the motor and lift straight up, be careful when pulling the power chord.
  5. The motor, fan and gear assembly should not be seperated from the rest of the unit.
This will let you clean with vinegar and water.

Great product. Germany design at its best
