Depending upon which model you’re buying, you can set up air purifiers as a separate unit in-doors or attach them to your HVAC system to purify the air in your home. Air purifiers remove all the contaminants in the air so they’re recommended for people suffering from allergies or have asthma.
Levoit is the leading brand when it comes to air purifiers. Levoit air purifiers have several layers of filter which remove all the harmful particles from the air. They are very reliable but sometimes users can run into issues while setting them up. Here we will discuss some common Levoit Air Purifier Problems and how you can fix them.
Common Levoit Air Purifier Problems Troubleshooting
- Device Not Filtering Air
Sometimes after setting up the device customers complain that the purifier is not working properly and they can still feel the air is not clean. This mainly occurs because customers do not read the user manual before setting the device up. Make sure to go through all the instructions step by step to sort out the issue at hand.
One possible cause for this error is that you have set up the device in the corner which is why it can’t take in air to purify. According to the instruction manual, you’re supposed to set up the device somewhere around the middle of the room for it to work properly. So, just reposition the device and it should start working.
Another reason for this error is that the room is too large. Air purifiers can only filter the air up to the recommended size of the room. Each model has its limits so make sure that you’re using the device in a room of optimal size. The last thing you need to check is the dust buildup on the air filters which might be blocking more air from getting purified. Just clean out the filters and you’ll be good to go.
- Poor Airflow
Another issue that customers complain about very often is the poor flow of air. There are many probably causes for this error that can easily be sorted out. Sometimes there is an object near your device that is blocking air from getting inside to get filtered. Just make sure the area around the device is clear for it to work properly.
First of all, just check the fan speed from the panel settings. Most of the time users have fan speed on low and wonder why the airflow is so less. Just push the fan speed to max and you’ll be getting much better airflow from the purifier.
If the fan is already on max speed but the airflow is still not sufficient then it is likely that there is something wrong with your air filters. You need to check whether or not the packaging has been removed from the air filter. If the packaging is on it will block the air from passing through which can reduce the airflow from your device. If the packaging is removed already then clean your filters to remove excess dust and put them back in.
- Wrong Status on Air Quality Indicator
It is also very common for the air quality indicator to malfunction. Most of the time it is just an issue with the dust sensor which is why you’re receiving this error. Your indicator will keep showing you red light that the air quality is very bad even though the purifier is running on max.
In this scenario just refer to the user manual on how you should clean your dust sensor. Sometimes dust can build up on your sensor that hinders its sensing ability. This is the main reason why your device always shows you poor air quality on the indicator even though the air is clean. After cleaning the dust sensor just power cycle your device once and that will probably sort out your issue.
If you are having difficulty in getting these fixes to work or are facing different issues with your device then we recommend that you contact customer support. That way you can receive help from a trained professional who will guide you step by step on how to troubleshoot your device. So, just send the support team a mail explaining your issue and start waiting for a response.
