How to Troubleshoot a Whirlpool Air Purifier

An air purifier is a useful appliance for people who suffer from allergies, live in polluted areas or live with smokers. The Whirlpool air purifier uses a HEPA filter and pre-filter to remove elements from the air that may hinder your breathing. If you experience problems with the performance of your Whirlpool air purifier, trying some quick home fixes might enable you to keep it running without much downtime.

Instructions

- 1
  Flip the power switch to the "on" position and ensure it is plugged securely into a grounded, three-pronged outlet if you have no power to the unit.
- 2
  Check your house fuse box for a blown fuse or circuit breaker panel for a tripped circuit if the air purifier won't turn on. Replace your fuse or circuit breaker with a time-delay version if your home uses regular fuses or circuit breakers.
- 3
  Replace the filters if the indicator light on top comes on or the air doesn't seem to be as clean. Turn off the unit and unplug it, then push in the tabs located on the front grille and pull them off. Remove the filters, then replace the HEPA filter by following the arrows on the frame and replace the pre-filter by placing it on the tabs.
