- Plug it back in while holding down the filter reset button (consult your user manual for exact button location).
- Release the button after the light blinks, indicating it has been reset.
2. Dusty Air
If you notice an increase in dust particles in your home, it could mean your air purifier's filter is clogged. Follow these steps to address this:
- Turn off and unplug the unit.

- If it’s a HEPA filter, consider replacing it for optimal performance.
3. Increased Noise Levels
Increased noise can be a sign of a malfunction or simply an overloaded filter. Try the following:
