Environizer doesn't work - Air Purifiers

Edenpure has a troubleshooting guide at this website: MY HEATER WILL NOT TURN ON.

• Make sure the power source is good. Plug in a lamp to see if it works correctly.
• Make sure the front power switch/button is set to the "ON" position.
• Unplug the power for 30 minutes. Plug the power back in and try operating the heater again. This will reset the internal sensors.
• Some heater models are designed to be operated in temperatures less than 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The heater will not operate when the temperature is too high. Test the heater in a room that is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bring the heater inside to warm up for at least one hour before operating if it has been stored in a freezing or near freezing environment.
• Make sure the filter is clean.
• Remember, it will take a few minutes for the heater to warm up. The fan will start to blow after the heater has warmed up.

If the plug in charger works, the batteries are boiled out and need replacement.

They should not be left on charger all the time. Just charge them for 10 hours and use them until the performance has dropped off, then and only then put it back on charge for 10 hours.

The "Replace Plate" message comes on for more than just the plate. Is the fan still running when it displays (Replace Plate"? The squeaking noise would be coming from the fan. I don't know what all it works for. It does display when the plate contacts are dirty, when a wire to the plates is loose or corroded, when the bulb is bad or loose and when the ozone generator quits. I have encountered all of those. Plates should last a couple of years, depending what's going on in the indoor environment.

These things may not SEEM to move air, but they do - slowly and steadily purifying the air and adding a negative ion charge to the air which helps the dirt in the air fall down and be captured during vacuum cleaning, sweeping, etc.

Hi lawrsports,

I generally use household ammonia and an old toothbrush, rinsing thouroughly in clean water, and drying them thoroughly. And I do mean _thoroughly_, as-in bone-dry, use a hair dryer if in-doubt.

Putting anything wet, or even damp into a high-voltage environment is contra-indicated.

If I can be of further assistance, let me know. If this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly.

Thanks in-advance for using Fixya.com,

Sharper Image has discontinued the product after Consumer Reports ran a test on ionizers.  Sharper Image couldn't prove they cleaned the air and had to pay all legal fees forcing the company into Chapter 11.  They recalled the items as well but couldn't honor the checks.
EPA data has proven that in some environments they can be harmful to use.
Consumer Products Safety Commission is going to issue a report by the end of the year.  It's possible that sales of all ionizers will be gone by next year.
