How can i remove the fan barrel from the head unit to clean it

Check and make sure the filters are clean. Strange noises can occur if they are dirty. It may also be a "dry" fan bushing. At the end of the fan barrel, (Usually the left side) there is a brass bush which can dry out and cause a squeaking noise. Carefully insert the long tube of a WD40 (or similar) oil spray can, into the outside of the fan barrel on the left hand side. NOT when the machine is running.. and give it a light spray, the oil should seep into the bush and quieten it down if that's the problem. To do the job properly however, the indoor unit would need to have the cover taken off and the bushing removed and oiled....

Good day!!!

please try to put some oil to the screw to lubricate it...so its more easier to remove it..

and its better if the size of your screw driver is fit to the screw to avoid loose (+) head of screw or worn out...turn it counter clockwise with the full force..

AFTER EACH USE
CLEANING THE EPILATION HEAD Ensure the epilator is turned off and disconnected from the mains. Press the head release button/s and open the head assembly. (Diagram G) Turn the head assembly upside down. Using your thumbs, push the small sides together and push the epilation head upwards. This releases the curved epilation head. Brush the accumulated hair from the tweezers by turning the barrel manually. NOTE: The body of the epilator is not washable. Do not submerge in water.
TO REMOVE RESIDUE To remove residue from the stainless steel tweezers, dampen a swab with alcohol. Gently run the swab over the tweezers until the residue has been removed.

Hi, I have had the same problem and have figured out how to open it.

To open your blueair air purifier, follow the steps below;
1. Get a phillips head screwdriver,
2. Open the unit and remove the air filters.
3. Use the phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws that you can see.
4. After taking out the screws, remove the "galvanizedSwedish steel housing" (cream coloured sides) of the purifier by lifting it upwards (i.e. from bottom to top of unit).
4. You will now have access to the interior of the purifier.
5. You can now take out the fan and clean it, or what ever part you are trying to clean. I used a Dyson HEPA vacuum cleaner.
6. To reassemble, reverse the instructions above to reassemble the purifier.

#1 CLEAN WORK SPACE
#2 PLACE FAN ON ITS CONTROL SIDE DOWN
#3 REMOVE PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW FROM HANDLE
#4 REMOVE NON-SKID COVERS
#5 REMOVE OTHER 2 PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS
#6 REMOVE BLACK SIDE & CLEAN
#7 REMOVE YELLOW FAN COVER & CLEAN
#8 7/16 SPIN-TYPE DRIVER REMOVES FAN NUT
#9 CARE....WASHER ON OTHER SIDE OF FAN
#10 PUT FAN IN SOAP& WATER ....TAKE YOUR TIME

It seems you have worn rings and/or barrel and piston. You will have to get the barrel off the engine to ispect. Unbolt the carb and exhaust from the engine. Unbolt the 4 nuts on top of the head. Remove the head and barrel from the engine. Inspect the piston for scoring and wear. Remove the piston by removing the circlip next to the gudgeon pin. Do not drop the clip into the engine.(stuff some clean rags in the engine under the piston. The gudgeon pin can now be pushed out of the piston and the piston removed.Have the barrel and piston measured for wear.
If you're on a tight budget you can replace rings only but this is a penny wise pound foolish solution. You'll have the same problem in 2 months time.
It is best to rebore the barrel and fit an oversize piston and new rings. The barrel can also be resleeved but this is a more costly option and should only be exersized if you cannot obtain an oversize piston.

It's a quite complicated procedure but i'll try to describe as best i can.

Below the air outlet there should be a couple of screws. They may have small tabs over them (purely for aesthetics!).

If you lift up the filter cover, remove the filters and remove filter cover (trying carefully not to break it... darn plastic!) there may be some screws above the air outlet.

Remove the fascia cover starting from the bottom. Pull it out over the louvre in the air outlet. It will be clipped at the top near the back. These can be difficult to undo. Once that's done, remove the cover.

For the next bit, make sure that the power is turned off to the unit. (power cord unplugged, isolator turned off or c/b off depending on power source)

Undo the screws on the power box.

Undo the screws on the drain tray and off the left side of the evaporator coil. (Big finned section of pipework). Make sure you support the evaporator coil as it's only connected with copper pipes which bend/kink fairly easily.

You'll need to pull the coil out a little (not too far) and take off the left hand rubber 'bearing' as such from the indoor fan barrell.

On the right hand side of the unit you'll find the fan motor (which is held in by the power box) There should be a grub screw that holds the fan barrell onto the shaft of the motor. This is usually undone with an allan key but have seen them with phillips head screws also. This grub screw might be in a few different places. It might simply be on the right end of the fan barrell or sometimes the righthand column of blades is missing a blade and the grub screw is accessed by putting allan key/screwdriver up missing portion. You only need to loosen the grub screw, not remove it.

Once loosened, the fan barrel can be pulled off the motor shaft and removed.

Once off, you can inspect it for obstructions or broken blades etc. To reassemble is just the reverse of these instructions.

Just a few things to note:

1. Be careful of the evaporator coil not to kink (or break!) the copper pipes or your a/c won't work properly.

2. The drain tray may have water in it if the a/c has been operating recently.

3. Make sure the power is off before pulling off the power box.

This can be a very difficult task and I would recommend having an assistant to help with holding stuff.

Hope this helps!

You do not have to remove the coils. Just carefully lift the top with the motor and set it aside (power off). Spray the outside with a foaming cleaner (Dow bathroom) and flush from inside out.

I have had to clean mine on a yearly basis. On mine once I have the cover off, I can remove a couple more screws, disconnect the baffle motor and the drain connection and pull the drain pan off to gain access to the barrel fan. The first time I cleaned it with a small bottle brush and bleach water. I scrubbed each fin individually, alot of work! I used a pressure bottle(for the garden with wand) to rinse the fan. Then the next year I used a Shark Steamer to clean and kill the mold, still alot of work but easier then scrubbing. I am going to try rinsing it more often with white vinegar to kill the mold.
