Is my Fan Blade Working Efficiently in my New Air Purifier?
The following are guidelines to tighten your fan blade for the following new air purifier models: LA-2000 to Classic LA-3500 (Model #: E300/RH02; 300/RH02; 300/H02; 300/UH02; HL2PRO; ZL-3500/UV)
Do you think the performance of your unit is being effected by a faulty fan blade? Before you secure your loose fan blade, dismantling your unit is mandatory. It shouldn’t take longer than about 15 minutes as it’s quite easy to remove the chassis from the cabinet. First, unscrew the two knobs on the front side of the unit. This would be the 03/Sanitizer and Fan/UV left and rights knobs which both have a small screw attaching them to the unit. Locate the tiny circular opening within each of the knobs to access the screws and unscrew each.
Now, on a hard surface, place the unit upside down and unscrew the bottom two bolts. Then, flip the unit back to its upright position (and on a hard surface still), and you should have easy access to the chassis (mechanism) of the unit. Remove it. Once you’ve moved the chassis, remove the metal protection bar by unscrewing and disconnecting it. Now, you should have easy access to the fan blade!
The blade should be positioned in the middle of the fan motor shaft itself, which is almost half way from the fan motor body and shaft. It shouldn’t be too close to the fan motor body nor in the very front of the fan motor shaft because it may risk touching the two metal prongs of the negative ionizer. Again, it should be placed in the middle of the fan motor shaft, which is an inch away from each end of the fan motor. Fasten the metal clamp of the fan blade by using pliers carefully. Do not maneuver the fan blade drastically and try to keep the fan blade on at all times when securing it. The metal clamp should be right in the middle of the fan blade over its opening (through which the fan motor shaft fits).
Now, reassemble the metal bar in front of the fan blade (and, if applicable, screw in the green ground wire connecting to the metal bar). Place the chassis mechanism fully back into the cabinet and reassemble the unit by following the instructions in reverse (secure the top, then bottom surfaces). Now, plug in your unit and turn it on as you monitor it the next couple of days. Please visit alpineairtechnologies.com if you have further questions!
How to Replace the Fan Motor in your Alpine Air Purifier
Before you begin to dismantle your unit, make sure your unit has been turned off and is unplugged! Removing the fan motor from your XL15 purifier should be easy to follow along as it involves a process of removing parts from the front and rear of the unit (hence, giving access to the fan motor). If performed correctly, the process shouldn’t take longer than 15-30 minutes!
Starting with the front of the unit, first remove the two knobs for the ozone (purifier) and fan by sliding them off (pull them towards you). Next, remove the front grill by unscrewing its screws. Then, remove the fan motor’s fan blade (pull it towards you again). Once you’ve done these three steps, you’re ready to move onto the disassembly of the back of your unit!
From the rear of the unit, start by removing the lint screen filter, then remove the ozone plate(s). After, flip the unit carefully so that it is resting on its top and remove the four screws located at each corner. Flip the unit back to standing on its bottom. Now, you want to locate 3 separate red wires all coming from the unit’s chassis. Two of the three red wires should be connected to the fan motor while the other one connects to the needlepoint ionizer located right above the fan motor. Carefully disconnect all three of these wires. Once you remove these wires, you’re ready to gain access to the fan motor!
Carefully remove the chassis from the cabinet. Once you locate the fan motor, locate the fan motor bracket (it should be connected to the fan motor with two long connecting screws). Unscrew these two screws using pliers if necessary (if your unit is old or has accumulated rust). If there is no way to unscrew the screws with a screwdriver or plier, you will have to use cutters to cut and break the screws so that you can remove your fan motor. Each new air purifier you’ve purchased should come with two extra screws, so don’t worry if you must!
Now remove the old fan motor and carefully pay attention to the way it is positioned and located (as you will be placing the new fan motor the exact same way). Then, place the new motor in and screw the two original screws (or new if you stripped them) so that the fan motor and the fan motor bracket are securely connected again. After, put the chassis back into place in the cabinet to ensure the two front metal pieces on which the knobs fit go through the two holes on the front of the cabinet. With the chassis inside the cabinet, reconnect the three red wires back to where they were originally. Two wires should go to the new fan motor and one wire to the needlepoint ionizer (it doesn’t matter which wire goes where, they’re all the same). If you have difficulty connected the third wire to the needlepoint ionizer, try to reach into the chassis from the front of your unit and connect the wire as the needlepoint ionizer is much closer to the front of the unit than the back. Now, you can secure your unit!
Flip the machine upside down and fasten the four screws that hold the chassis to the cabinet. Then, after making sure the chassis was placed in the right position so that it could fit the two knobs, reconnect the two knobs in the front. Then reconnect the fan blade to the fan motor carefully and gently. Once this is secure, place the fan grill, ozone plate(s), and then the lint screen filter back the same way you took them off. Now you’re ready to start using your air purifier once again!
If your unit still has issues, it’s more than likely something is not connected well (red wires maybe) or there is a bigger problem within the unit (electrical). If this is the case, we highly recommend our unique and special trade-in program since old XL15 air purifiers are no longer repairable. We actually recommend this program even if your XL15 unit it working simply because its technology is out of date and you aren’t getting the best quality air! Instead of replacing your blade, you’re better off replacing the entire unit! You could replace the fan blade, however you’re more than likely to encounter the same problem again as well as additional wear and tear issues. The newer and identical model to the XL15 is the Classic LA-3500 v2.0 which is more powerful and provides for quick and efficient air pollution control and reduction. Protection against corrosion, more powerful ionization, more sanitizing power, enhanced protection, and improved filtration are all benefits that come with the new and improved version of the XL15! In fact any of our newer models are better than the XL15 version, chiefly because greater efficient square foot coverage. Please take a visit to alpineairtechnologies.com!
Locating your ZL3 or HMA-300/CHO Fresh Air Purifier’s Fuse Compartment
Do you have an Alpine model ZL3 or HMA-300/CHO Fresh Air Purifier? Do you need help to locate the fuse compartment for cleaning or replacement purposes? Well, Alpine is gladly here to help! Whether it’s time to replace your fuse on your air purifier or simply just clean the interior of your Alpine air purifier, it’s important to know where the fuse is located because eventually you will have to do both tasks. We actually recommend you periodically check your fuse compartment every couple of months as well as clean the interior of your air purifier every three months.
The fuse compartment can be found on the back side of your air purifier. You actually don’t have to remove the back of the machine to access the fuse, so before you begin please don’t jump to removing the back, otherwise you will find yourself wasting unnecessary time. The compartment is located where the power cord plugs in. If you have trouble locating it, refer to your unit’s user manual for further assistance. Looking exactly where the power cord plugs in on the back of your machine, the fuse cabinet is located inside that plastic material. In your user manual, you should see a picture of the fuse on the plastic material (if you need help). If you want to remove the fuse (or even replace it), simply pull the fuse out by unlocking the fuse cabinet with a flat head screwdriver. Replace the original fuse with the correct new fuse. It’s important you make sure the fuse is a 1.5 AMP 250V Fast Acting fuse! It can be found at any local home goods store such as Home Depot or Radio Shack for a few bucks. After making sure everything is once again connected, use a different power outlet to plug your unit into to ensure you your unit works.

Where can I Buy Parts for my Air Purifier?
Are you wondering where to buy parts for your air purifier? Do you need to replace something that you can’t find in other stores? Chances are, your air purifier is outdated and the parts for it are no longer distributed for sale because there are better air purifiers available now which work ten times better. Fixing your air purifier with a part may solve the issue temporarily, but you shouldn’t be surprised if your air purifier has ensuing issues in the near future. These air purifiers aren’t meant to last 10 plus years, and it’s time to invest in a new air purifier. Local dealers will not have older parts, so again, save your time from going! Fortunately, if you do have a newer air purifier, parts and replacements are most of the time available for your unit. On our parts page, we have old and new parts available for all our models. Simply just scroll up and down the page and navigate yourself until you find your model and part. If the part isn’t available, that means that you must ship in your unit to us because our qualified technician must replace the part as it’s dangerous and very confusing to do so. You can find ozone plates, filters, batteries, filters, and much more on our parts page, all for the best cost in the market today.
If you do have an older air purifier, we recommend replacing the unit as a whole as you will most likely have to continually replace parts on your old unit. Fortunately, we have a special trade-in program where you give us your current unit (of whatever condition it is – old, rusty, dirty, etc. – as long as it’s working) and we give you $100 towards a purchase of your new air purifier which is already discounted at a marked price! We ship the unit to you for free and offer a free 3 year parts and labor warranty! So there really is no catch, what are you waiting for? Go to http://alpineairtechnologies.com today to get your air purifier!
Replacing your Ozone Plates on your HMA-250 Air Purifier
Do you have the model# HMA-250 air purifier, or any other old purifier, that needs some servicing and replacement of parts? Is it getting rusty, ineffective, and problematic? Have you thought about the newer technology and science behind up-to-date air purifiers and their effectiveness? Well, if these thoughts are running through your head, you’ve reached the right place!
For the HMA-250 unit, a commercial air purifier manufactured in the early 1990’s, the main purpose is to sanitize air. Unlike today’s air purifiers, they didn’t feature an ionization process of removal for pollutants in the air. Hence, this unit isn’t actually meant for residential daily operation. The “right side only” caption means that only the right side of the air purifier can fit ozone plates, and not any universal ozone plate. In addition to the plates, all other parts of this model are no longer available as of many years ago. This is simply because the demand of this unit, as well as other older units, has significantly diminished as everyone has switched to newer models. Newer models are behind efficient technology that today’s scientists approve of and admire as they are safer, more effective, quieter, more powerful, and much more.
If you were looking to replace a certain part on your old air purifier, we highly recommend taking advantage, instead, of our special trade in program offered for a limited time. This program basically cuts your cost in half for a brand new, top-quality, alpine air purifier, with free shipping all just for trading in your current air purifier (no matter what condition it’s in). Your new air purifier is shipped to you for free, and comes with a three-year parts and labor warranty, so there really is no catch. You may as well invest in a reliable and durable air purifier now than repair and service your current unit, and then have to only do the same thing in another few months.
