I just typed in an msg on how I fixed mine. Im an old lady, and figured what the......... cant hurt. so check my msg here somewhere, and start taking out the screws. good luck, in the last couple of hours, ive fixed two of them, just cleaning the contacts. good luck to you.
Mine is a Pro-series Quadra. It needed better cleaning.
The front and rear plastic grill scome off (release catch at the bottom of each), allowing access to the central core. I cleaned it with a damp rag (let it dry before you turn it back on). Be very careful of the two wires running the length of the unit -- if you break these it will not work. I did, however, gently clean them.
When I restarted it there was an unusual smell for a few minutes, but all is working well again.

One drop of water on the blades will cause it to turn off. Make sure it is dry before reinstalling the blades. I wash mine before going to bed, dry, then let it sit till morning before reinstalling. Also the button that turns it on and off is not very positive you must push it hard. People think this thing is supposed to clean up very dusty air but it is not so good with heavy dust. What it is best at is clearing out smells from a damp moldy house. If you have a damp house you will love what it does. But if you have a very dry house that needs a humidifyer you might not like it. it produces some ozone, natures own dissenfectant, that naturally kills mold is why it is so good in a damp house. if I run mine on high all day I can smell the ozone if I have been away from the house. If the ozone gets to strong I just switch to a lower setting or turn it off a couple of hours. In a dry house the ozone can, if left on high to long cause your bronchial tubes to burn some. Ozone gets a bad rap, without it life in the south would not be possible mold and fungus would kill us all. As for hissing I have friends with them and some of them hiss louder than others but all hiss some. You can hear all of them on an AM radio. The powersupply will switch on and off to apply a charge to the blades the lower the setting the longer the off cycle. An AM radio will whine when the powersupply is charging the blades. I think the problems that Sharper Image had are due to a poorly written manual not informing users what to expect, and making claims that the unit cannot live up to. But in my damp moldy house it is wonderful. John
