Won't start HAd an outlet burn out. I guess it caused some problem with my AFS-2000. Now it won't start up. My manual shows a reset on the front control panel, but my unit has an 8 amp (fuse?). There doesn't seem to be any type of access to it. Do I have to take the control panel apart to get to this?

The fuse is a little glass one behind the control panel very difficult to get to.
HI
I THINK THE Magnetic fluid (ferrofluid) fills a small annular gap between a rotating shaft and a stationary magnetic pole piece. The gap is part of a high-energy magnetic circuit which includes the shaft and pole piece. The very large magnetic flux in the gap exerts a force on the fluid, holding it in place against pressure difference from atmosphere to vacuum, yielding a dynamic rotary seal in which there is no solid friction. Therefore, very long operating lifetimes are achieved.
Because the magnetic fluid has very low vapor pressure, it remains permanently in place for the entire lifetime of the seal, and does not contaminate the system. Some applications have special requirements (high temperature, highly reactive gases) which can be satisfied by selection of the optimum fluid from our family of fluid materials.
Is plug not damaged? you will have to take cover off to access fuse
If you have a voltmeter you can check the voltage of the power cord coming in to machine and go from there it is either gonna be a bad switch,cord or power supply. will have to trace out voltage.I am not an expert on this machine just trying to help.
oh yeah be sure to check that magnet fluid!!!!! hee hee
Are you still plugging the unit to the burnt outlet?
could you check the power where you sae plugging the unit. it may just be out of power. it could be the same circuit as the one one which burned.. tnx drcool
please check the circuit breakers where you are plugging it?..it could have tripped off.
tnx, drcool
Check the fuse inside the unit, it is located where power cables hook up.
Start testing the unit on a different power outlet, check that the power cord has not melt, and that the plug is fine.
If you are in UK, or you are using a fused power cord, check also the fuse inside the power plug.
If cord and plug are ok check inside the unit, you will find the fuse located where power cables hook up.
If fuse is ok, then power cable must be replaced.
If fuse has blown, but unit does not start after cable replacement, then power supply inside air purifier must be replaced, in this case verify your guaranty terms and call number listed on your user manual.
