Sharper Image Air Purifier Won'T Turn On

If your Ionic Breeze shows the red light that indicates it needs cleaning, you might have to take the entire unit apart to get it to work. I did that and found the two brass contacts inside the bottom of the unit were extremely dirty. Cleaned those and put everything back together and it works fine. It was a tedious job but it got the unit working. Here's a link that could help you restore your unit. Zony Jones, take a look on here and see if this looks like yours. I am not sure, but I would think that there is a fuse on the circuit board somewhere. This is a bit of a beast in getting any information, but I am certain we'll get it done. Post a few images once you have it apart :-). I had the same problem and was able to get my Ionic Breeze working by removing the faulty on off switch. When depressed, my switch cycles through the modes Hi, Med, Low, and Off. Two blue wires run from my swith to other circuitry also located in the top portion of the unit. I cut and stripped the wires and tested the switch expecting to get continuity each time the switch was pressed.

Of course, nothing happened. I then touched the two blue wires running to the circuitry mentioned above and the unit immediately turned on. Right now i just have the two blue wires, that require shorting, hanging on the outside of the unit and not touching. To change modes I just touch the wires for a moment, then let hang again. I'll either replace the switch with another Ionic Breeze switch, or will buy a switch with similar functionality and figure out a way to mount. I just love the smell of my Ionic Breeze. Haters can bad mouth these units all they want but when I had bed bugs, they dissappeared when the unit was on and my health has never suffered while my unit(s) were operational. I tried the fixes described here (thank you for posting them) but that not what was wrong with mine. My symptoms were that the unit did nothing - acted completely dead, no lights of any kind and pushing the button did nothing at all. Like others mentioned, I checked around for fuses but none in this model at least.

After I tried to see if the switch was bad as some others reported (mine tested fine), I noticed something else nearby. Underneath the switch there is a small partially- sort of semicircular circuit board (that is basically the bottom of the switch). Upon looking closely at mine, I noticed what looked like corrosion. You know, when copper turns bluish-green on pipes and such kind of corrosion? Well sure enough, one of the copper circuit traces on the back of this little circuit board had become corroded and had corroded all the way through. I checked it with a multimeter first - open circuit. Then carefully scraped away the crud with a pocket knife to confirm that the copper had been eaten away for whatever reason. Normally the copper traces are covered by some kind of greenish protective film on this and other circuit boards, but apparently it gave way. Had moisture leaked in around switch area? Once I found this, the fix was easy - I just soldered a little 1 inch piece of wire to bypass the corroded trace on the circuit board - this is low voltage, so most any wire will do.

Just be careful to not overheat the board when soldering, and not touch any of the other traces on the circuit board.

Turn the machine on, the power indicator comes on and negative ions weigh down impurities in the air, causing them to drop to the floor and leaving you with cleaner air to breathe. Occasionally, the blades require cleaning. If the cleaning light remains lit, you may need to reset the machine. The Sharper Image website offers downloads of the Ionic Breeze product manuals, which come complete with care tips.

Turn off and unplug the Ionic Breeze air purifier. Allow it to remain off for a full minute. Remove the blades by pulling up the panel at the top of the Ionic Breeze unit. Wipe the blades clean with a clean, soft cloth, barely damp with a warm soap-and-water solution, such as 1/2 tsp. of liquid Castile or dish soap in 1/4 cup of water. Rinse off the blades under running water. Place them on a dry towel to air-dry overnight. Reinsert the Ionic Breeze blades once they're dry. The blades click into place when the top panel returns to its position, flush with the top of the unit. Pull up the wire cleaning bar on the top of the Ionic Breeze unit, located toward the back of it. Push it up and down into the machine to loosen particles. Reinsert the bar so that the top of it becomes flush with the top of the machine. Plug the Ionic Breeze unit in and turn it on. If the clean light remains lit, reset the Ionic Breeze by pressing and holding down the power button on the top of the unit.

Hold the button for a slow count of 30 and release it. If the power light doesn't come on, check that the blades and the cleaning bar are fully inserted in the unit, as it won't operate until they are both correctly positioned. Don't reset the air purifier without cleaning it. The Sharper Image: Ionic Breeze Instructions The Ionic Pro is an air purifier that removes airborne particles from the air.
