8 Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter
with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information
below, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
ProblemPossible solution
The appliance
does not work
even though it is
plugged in.
The airow that
comes out of
the air outlet
is signicantly
weaker than
before.
The air quality
does not improve,
even though the
appliance has
been operating
for a long time.
• Check if the top cover is properly installed.
• The lter replacement light has been on continuously
but you have not replaced the corresponding lter. As a
result, the appliance is now locked. In this case, replace
the lter and reset the lter lifetime counter.
• The pre-lter is dirty. Clean the pre-lter (see the
chapter "Cleaning").
• Check if the packing material is removed from the
lters.
• One of the lters has not been placed in the appliance.
Make sure that all lters are properly installed in the
following order, starting with the innermost lter:
1) NanoProtect lter Pro S3 (FY4152); 2) pre-lter.
• The air quality sensor is wet. The humidity level in your
room is high and causes condensation. Make sure that
the air quality sensor is clean and dry (see the chapter
"Cleaning").
The color of the
air quality light
always stays the
same.
• The air quality sensor is dirty. Clean the air quality
sensor (see the chapter "Cleaning").
43EN
ProblemPossible solution
The appliance
produces a
strange smell.
The appliance is
extra loud.
The appliance still
indicates that I
need to replace a
lter, but I already
did.
Error code "E1"
displays on the
screeen.
• The rst few times you use the appliance, it may
produce a plastic smell. This is normal. However, if the
appliance produces a burnt smell even if removing
lters, contact your Philips dealer or an authorized
Philips service center. The lter may produce smell after
being used for a while because of the absorption of
indoor gases. It’s recommended that you reactivate the
lter by putting it in direct sunlight for repeated use. If
odor still exists, replace the lter.
• If the appliance is too loud, you can change the fan
speed to a lower fan speed level. When using the
appliance in a bedroom at night, choose the silent
speed.
• Perhaps you did not reset the lter lifetime counter.
Switch on the appliance. Then touch and hold the
reset button ( ) for 3 seconds.
• The motor has malfunctions. Contact the Consumer
Care Center in your country.
Error codes "E2",
"E3", "E4" or "E5"

ProblemPossible solution
• If the router your purier is connected to is dual –
band and currently it is not connecting to a 2.4GHz
network, please switch to another band of the same
router (2.4GHz) and try to pair your purier again. 5GHz
networks are not supported.
• Web authentication networks are not supported.
• Check if the purier is within range of the Wi-Fi router.
You can try to locate the air purier closer to the Wi-Fi
router.
• Check if the network name is correct. The network
name is case-sensitive.
The Wi-Fi setup is
not successful.
• Check if the Wi-Fi password is correct. The password is
case-sensitive.
• Retry the setup with the instructions in section ‘Set up
the Wi-Fi connection when the network has changed’.
• The Wi-Fi connectivity can be interrupted by
electromagnetic or other interferences. Keep the
appliance away from other electronic devices that may
cause interferences.
• Check if the mobile device is in airplane mode. Make
sure to have the airplane mode deactivated when
connecting to the Wi-Fi network.
