Your Levoit Core 300-RAC is no longer accepting input on the control panel.

There are no indicator lights for you to know if your device is plugged in. Make sure your device is plugged in and hit the power button.

Your device's touchscreen face could be worn, making it difficult to pick up on your touch inputs. In this case we recommend replacing your control panel face.

The top of the device contains a small circuit board to operate the touchscreen and process user input. If the indicator lights seem to function, but the device is unresponsive, then it's possible a fault or damage has occurred to this board.

There is a dedicated circuit board inside the Levoit Core-300 RAC that routes power from a wall socket to the fan and control board. If the device is plugged in, but there's no sign of it functioning, then it's likely this board is damaged in some way. Therefore, we recommend replacing your device's power board.

Your Levoit Core 300-RAC is not blowing enough air

Your Levoit Core 300-RAC has four main fan modes. The moon indicates a night mode on your touchscreen; this mode keeps the fan running quietly. Then you have levels 1 to 3 indicated by 1, 2, or 3 lines, respectively. If you want the most output, then select level 3.

Your device's air filters come in plastic packaging to protect it until it is ready to be installed. Make sure the packaging is removed to have unobstructed airflow through the filter. Checking this is just like replacing the filter.

If your device is not outputting enough air, you want to check your filter and clean it. You may use a vacuum with a soft bristle brush attachment to remove excess dust. DO NOT use water to clean your filter, as that can lead to mold growth. Cleaning your filter can extend its lifetime, but it will not restore it to its original effectiveness.

Filters are meant to fill up with dust and air particles, it's how they work. If there's not enough air flowing through the filter, then it may be time to replace it. Follow this guide to see how.

Your device's fan blade assembly is held in the housing by a 13mm nut. Make sure this nut is tight and hasn't loosened over time.

If you can hear a clattering sound when you turn on your air purifier, something has fallen in. In this case, turn off your device, open it, and check and clear any foreign objects.

If your device is chirping while turned on, your fan's bearings could use some grease. Take your device apart and get to the fan. Then, use some WD-40 or whatever electrically safe oil you have handy to grease the bearings.

If you keep your air purifier in a dusty area that is poorly ventilated, your filter will become saturated with dust, and your device will not be able to filter the air properly. Try introducing more ventilation by opening a window or door.

If you have a burning smell coming from your device, turn it off and unplug it immediately. Your device has two main electrical components: the power board and the control board. Please inspect these two for any burns. If they are faulty, you can use our power board replacement guide or our control board replacement guide to help you fix your device.
