Levoit Core 300-RAC Power Cord Replacement

Introduction

The Levoit Core 300-RAC receives electricity from a power cord, providing the energy needed to power on the device. If the power cord is severed, frayed, or damaged in any way, it could be dangerous or even impossible to operate your air purifier. The factory cord is 1.8 meters (about 6 feet) long and uses a Type A American plug. When looking for a replacement, ensure it's rated for 100-240V and 50/60Hz. Follow this guide to learn how to replace your existing power cord.

Before you begin, turn off your device and unplug it from the outlet.

Step 10

Use wire cutters to carefully cut off the crimped power cord connections and remove the white power cord.
Cut as close to the connection as possible to leave as much of the internal wires as possible.
Cut your new power cable to length and replace the old one. You can splice the new cable on using a soldering iron, heat shrink tubing, and a heat gun. Alternatively, you can use twist-on wire nuts to make a secure connection. For more information on soldering, take a look at How to Solder and Desolder Connectors, and How to Use Heat Shrink Tubing.
