I have the Ionic Breeze Hybrid GP from Sharper Image. It has an "arching" problem in the lower section of the grid. Can this be fixed? How? The unit goes into "drying" mode and the fans still run, but I don't think it does the ionizing.

Had the same problem, sparking in the lower section. i cleaned the grid blades on the filter with a scotch brite pad thoroughly in the area that was sparking and cleaned the corona wires inside the back of the unit gently by rubbing with light grade sandpaper. the unit runs like new. give it a try.

DO NOT, IREPEAT, DO NOT DO WHAT THIS UNINFORMED POOR EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING SAYS TO DO. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PLOY TO GET YOU TO ACTUALLY RUIN YOUR IONIZER. SCOTCH BRITE AND SANDPAPER REALLY?!?

i found a solution to the sparking problem in the ionic breeze. purchased scotch brite cleaning pads from home depot. using a long strip of pad scrub the plates back and forth especially in the areas that seem to be emitting sparks. i did this and the unit runs quiet as a whisper.

Ionic Breeze Hybrid GP air purifier only 1/2 grid gets dirty.

I have been doing research on this unit. I read that only every other grill is suppose to collect. The remaining grills increase the electrostatic charge making the collection plates, the ones that get dirty more effective. So the bottom line is there is nothing wrong with your unit.

Sharper Image Hybrid GP Germicidal Air Purifier SI724 NO POWER

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.

Ionic breeze is arcing inside unit

I have a sharper image ionic breeze hybrid gp that ran fine for years unitl it recently started sparking / arcing at the base of the grid blades and always in the same spot. I cleaned it several times but the sparking always came back and the unit went into either "drying grid" or "attention required" mode. The solution I found was to stand the removable grid in 2 inches of Pine-Sol cleaner 50/50 diluted with water for 24 hours then brush again with the cleaning brush and hot water. Presto! No more sparking.
