A non-functioning fan can significantly reduce your Levoit Core 300-RAC air purifier’s performance. If your device isn’t outputting enough air or the fan isn’t spinning, it may be time to clean or replace it.
This guide demonstrates how to replace the fan. You can also use it to access the fan for cleaning with an air blower and brush. Cleaning the fan may improve performance and help avoid replacement.
Before you begin, ensure the device is turned off and unplugged.
