Alpine Air Purifiers<\/a> all have a fan motor department built into them that assure the quality of machines are working as efficient and productive as possible.\u00a0 No matter what Living Lightning air purifier (Fresh Air LA- 3500 v.2.0<\/a>, Classic Air LA- 3500 v.20<\/a>, RainFresh Breeze LA- 3500 v 2.0<\/a>, etc.) you\u2019re buying, each unit needs to be treated with care and be well maintained.\u00a0 All Alpine air purifiers are great quality air purifiers that have shown repeatedly to be efficient and productive, given the user of the product maintains it well.<\/p>\n

If one does not maintain his or her Alpine purifier, he or she may encounter some technical issues subsequently such as a noise problem from the fan motor itself.\u00a0 That being said, it should be noted that users frequently mistake the fan blade for making the noise rather than the fan motor.\u00a0 Almost every time, it is the fan motor that has an issue, not <\/em>the fan blade.\u00a0 If the fan blade is in fact the issue, and you\u2019re positive of this, you can lightly oil the fan motor shaft only, where the fan blade is sitting on, in order to reduce the noise coming from it.\u00a0 If you desire to clean the fan blade, you also may wipe it down with some sort of towel, damp or dry.\u00a0 You can even use an air compressor to dust away any visible dirt you wish to remove.<\/p>\n

In the case that the issue is the fan motor, which is almost all of the time, the noise is certainly coming from the used up bearings inside it.\u00a0 Because the bearings already have enough oil on the inside, so adding oil to them will not help the noise issue of the fan motor, and it may even make it worse.\u00a0 So what should you do?<\/p>\n

The only recommended solution is to swap out the fan motor for a new one.\u00a0 This will ensure the noise is gone, and your Alpine air purifier will be running effectively and productively yet again.\u00a0 If you have the 3 year parts and labor warranty, your new fan motor is free of charge!\u00a0 If this option is not available for you, you can buy a new fan motor from the parts page<\/a> on Alpine\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
