The air quality light is red or purple too often and the PM 2.5 values shown in the app are very high all the time
Issue
- The app shows high values too often
- The ring on the air purifier lights up red or purple
- My air purifier suddenly has the highest fan speed
- The air quality light is red or purple too often
Applies to

Resolution
Dust accumulated in the air quality sensor(s) can result in incorrect readings and affect the product performance. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to remove any dust that might accumulate in this area.
Vacuum (at least) once a month if the product is used daily. Never use abrasive, harsh cleaning tools - this can damage the sensor.
If the problem persists, even after multiple cleaning attempts, please contact an AEG / Electrolux service station for further guidance.
AX9 series sensor location
Cause
- Dust can enter the sensor and cause the values for particles to be displayed incorrectly in the app and the air quality light to glow red on the air purifier
