How to Turn Off Filter Light on Levoit Air Purifier: A Quick 1 Minute Guide to Reset Your Air Purifier

If the filter light on your Levoit air purifier comes on, it's typically a reminder that the filter needs to be checked and possibly replaced. Once you’ve changed the filter or confirmed it’s still clean, you’ll want to reset the filter indicator to turn off the light. Here’s how you can do this safely and effectively:

Step 1: Power Off the Purifier

Unplug your Levoit air purifier or turn it off using the power button to ensure safety during the process.

Step 2: Replace or Clean the Filter

Check the filter as the light suggests. If it’s dirty, replace or clean it according to the manual. Reinsert the filter properly before proceeding.

Step 3: Reset the Filter Indicator

Plug in or turn the purifier back on. To reset the filter indicator light, press and hold the Filter Reset button (sometimes depicted as a filter icon) for about 3–5 seconds. The specific button and location can vary by Levoit model, but it’s usually on the control panel or near the filter indicator light. Once done correctly, the filter light should turn off.

Design Insight: As a designer, I always recommend integrating air purifiers harmoniously into your space. Think about positioning them near seating areas—away from direct sunlight and with enough airflow. If you're considering a more comprehensive approach to air quality and seamless placement, a professional room layout design tool can help you visualize and optimize your indoor environment, balancing functionality with aesthetics.

Tips 1:

If the filter light continues to stay on after replacement and reset, double-check that the filter is seated correctly and the unit’s back panel is securely closed. Always consult your specific Levoit model’s manual for detailed troubleshooting steps or contact Levoit support if the issue persists.
