How To Fix Levoit Air Purifier Red Light

The filter inside your Levoit air purifier is an important part of how the machine works. In order for the air purifier to work at its best, the filter needs to be replaced regularly. Your Levoit air purifier will display a red light behind the check filter indicator button when it is time to change your filter. Keep reading to learn more about how to do this and then how to reset the Levoit air purifier red light.

Levoit Air Purifier Check Filter Indicator Red Light

The ‘Check Filter’ indicator light looks different depending on the model you have. On some, it will look like a cylinder with two vertical lines in it. On others, it will look like two vertically oriented rectangles with horizontal lines. Regardless, when this light on your Levoit air purifier turns red, it is time to replace your filter.

In addition to cleaning pre-filter at least once a month, the filter should be replaced every 6 to 8 months. If you use your Levoit air purifier very often, you should change it closer to six months. If you are using the air purifier in a location with bad air quality and lots of pollution, you’ll want to replace the filter more frequently, even if the red light does not turn on. Always use a genuine Levoit air purifier filter replacement for best results.
