I've never had is issue but sounds like it's telling you the wiring is hooked up wrong. Try verifying the wires are correctly configured and the switch is set to come on at an interval.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

Sounds like it could be the chip is installed wrong or missing altogether. That will give you a red light also. Mine works super.. Yes series is correct..

Maybe try unplugging it and then plug it back in...usually when the green light flashes it is because of the timer...it will automatically shut down after an hour then you have to power off and then on again....let me know if this helps if not we can try something else

Does the light come on at all? If no red light comes on when any of the 3 buttons are pushed--1--change out the battery 2--check that the battery is installed properly with respect to polarity (+/-)

I had the same problem with the red light a couple times. I ignored it and used the filter anyway :)

I have looked at the Use and Care Instructions to see if there was anything about the red light blinking and found nothing. I would suggest that you call the Germ Guard company and let them help you. 1-866-603-5900. Sorry I couldn't help you.

If there is a red light flashing, it needs to be cleaned. Follow the instructions in the manual on how to clean the different parts. Mine had only a 1 year warranty. Others claim to have a 5 year. And by the way, mine is not even running right now. It's been off for about 2 months now. Seems like once you start cleaning these things, the more they need to be cleaned. Cleaning becomes more frequent. The warranty for mine was located on the back page of the manual. Good luck.

This might be a repeat answer. If you have pluged the unit into another outlet and the light still flashes I think you should return it.

1. Try a different outlet.2 take one of the bulbs and inspect it, if it rattles then its broken.3. Make sure the bulbs are connect properly.It could be the switch is defective.Contact seller.

We've had the same issue. The TV (which we've had since January '08) had been doing that for 2-3 months. And, it's taken longer and longer to come on. It would make a clicking sound and the small red lights on the right side would go on and off alternately with the light on the "on" button at the base of the TV. Yesterday, it took more than 5 minutes to turn on. Then, today, it stuck in the clicking mode and wouldn't come on at all. We completely unplugged the TV and left it unplugged for several minutes--hoping that when we plugged it back in that it would be in the "off" mode. Instead, it's continued in its clicking mode for nearly an hour, now. Fortunately, we have the extended warranty. And, a repairman is coming here this Thursday to determine what's wrong.

It is probably broken or your GFI outlet has been tripped. Does it make any noise and still light up? Use your warranty to get a new one.

Look for a Reset button near the red light. Press the button and hold for five seconds or so; the light will turn off (or it will when you release the Reset button).
