What To Know

  • If the fan is not working properly, the purifier will not be able to clean the air effectively.
  • If the sensors are not working properly, the purifier may not be able to respond to changes in air quality.
  • If you have a Wi-Fi-enabled Blue Air purifier and it’s not connecting to the network, resetting the Wi-Fi module may help.

Blue Air purifiers are renowned for their exceptional air purification capabilities, but like any appliance, they can occasionally encounter issues. If your Blue Air purifier has stopped working, don’t panic. This blog post will guide you through a comprehensive troubleshooting process, helping you identify and resolve the problem with ease.

Check the Power Source

The first and most obvious step is to ensure that your Blue Air purifier is properly connected to a power source. Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the purifier and the wall outlet. If necessary, try using a different outlet to rule out any electrical issues.

Reset the Purifier

Sometimes, a simple reset can resolve minor glitches. To reset your Blue Air purifier:

1. Unplug the purifier from the power source.
2. Wait for 30 seconds.
3. Plug the purifier back in and turn it on.

Clean the Filter

A dirty filter can significantly reduce the performance of your Blue Air purifier. Regularly cleaning the filter is essential for optimal operation. The frequency of filter cleaning depends on the usage and environment, but it’s generally recommended to clean it every 2-6 months.

To clean the filter:

1. Remove the filter from the purifier.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose dust and debris.
3. Rinse the filter under running water (for washable filters only).
4. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstalling it.

Inspect the Fan

The fan in your Blue Air purifier circulates the air through the filter. If the fan is not working properly, the purifier will not be able to clean the air effectively. To inspect the fan:

1. Unplug the purifier from the power source.
2. Remove the fan cover (if applicable).
3. Check if the fan blades are obstructed or damaged.
4. Gently rotate the fan blades to ensure they move freely.

Check the Sensors

Blue Air purifiers use sensors to monitor air quality and adjust their operation accordingly. If the sensors are not working properly, the purifier may not be able to respond to changes in air quality. To check the sensors:

1. Unplug the purifier from the power source.
2. Remove the sensor cover (if applicable).
3. Inspect the sensors for any visible damage or blockages.
4. Gently wipe the sensors with a clean cloth.

Update the Firmware

Blue Air regularly releases firmware updates to improve the performance and functionality of its purifiers. If your purifier is not working properly, updating the firmware may resolve the issue. To update the firmware:

1. Download the latest firmware from the Blue Air website.
2. Follow the instructions in the user manual to install the firmware update.

Reset the Wi-Fi Module (for Wi-Fi-enabled models)

If you have a Wi-Fi-enabled Blue Air purifier and it’s not connecting to the network, resetting the Wi-Fi module may help. To reset the Wi-Fi module:

1. Unplug the purifier from the power source.
2. Press and hold the “Wi-Fi” button for 5 seconds.
3. Release the button when the “Wi-Fi” indicator light starts blinking.
4. Plug the purifier back in and wait for it to reconnect to the network.

Troubleshooting Tips for Specific Models

  • Blue Air Pure 211: Check if the filter cover is properly closed. A loose filter cover can prevent the purifier from operating correctly.
  • Blue Air Blue Pure 411: Ensure that the pre-filter is clean. A dirty pre-filter can reduce airflow and affect the purifier’s performance.
  • Blue Air HealthProtect 7470i: Verify that the IonFlow system is turned on. The IonFlow system helps to remove airborne particles and odors.
