Collecting Cell for Water Wash Series WW20V (NLA)

Price: $0.00

This cell is no longer available. The Water Wash Series was discontinued several years ago. Parts exclusive to the WW series are no longer manufactured.

Used in models 12C12E-01100 SC1200 12C12E-01700 SC1200W 14C11H-01000 WW-14H 14C11H-01100 14C11V-01000 14C11V-01100 WW-14V 20C12H-01000 WW20H-A 20C12H-16000 20C12V-01000 WW20V-A 20C12V-16000 20X12A-80000 24C22E-01100 SC-2400 24C22E-01700 SC-2400W 80C62C-41200 CC80 912H 912V 924H 948H

We recommend soaking the collector cells. Soaking cleans better than the dishwasher and cleans better than a pressure washer. The cells typically do not need to be cleaned as often as the prefilters.

After cleaning, inspect the cell plates for dirt, hold the cell up to light. View the plates through the ionizing section to see the dirtiest side. Note that only every other plate captures dirt.

The plates are either charged or grounded. The charged particles are attracted to the grounded plates and repelled by the charged plates. Closely check the grounded plates, where as the charged plates will clean easily.

If a cell is sparking, determine the sparking area and removed cell to inspect closer. To see the sparking, you may need to look in through the blower compartment. See photo below.

To best see a sparking problem, cut an inspection hole in the duct. An inspection window can also be used to see when to clean.

A cell that is sparking randomly throughout is uncommon but could be caused by a film left behind from washing. If tobacco is not cleaned from a cell it can build up and cause random sparking. Diesel fumes can cause shorting problems and are not easily cleaned. High altitude can make the air cleaner more susceptible to sparking. The collector plates should be cleaned to the bare shiny metal (stained is okay).

We have seen continuous sparking (month+) burn away the high voltage contacts between the cells or at the power box. Most often sparking burnt a hole in the rear cell contact. When one cell sparks it draws a surge of current from the other cell. The surge causes a spark at the contacts between the cells. A cell with a burnt contact may also have a sparking problem elsewhere. A cell plate that that has experienced excessive sparking can become loose. The plates are mounted on rods and the surges cause sparking to erode the plate around the rod. Check for loose plates.

If a cell is shorted and keeps the LED indicator from coming on, then inspect for damage. A dent across several plates causing them to touch would be a simple short to find. A dandling ionizing wire can cause a short.

Here our photo shows the view of the cells through the blower compartment.

If necessary use a mirror to locate the
continuous sparking.

inventory of test equipment.

White-Rodgers equipment is identified by a model number. Replacement parts can be ordered based on the model number. Current model numbers are in the format SST1400-151, previous SST model numbers were 14c26s-010. See the Model Number Cross Ref for more examples. With the previous model numbers only the digits before the dash (14c26s) are needed for part lookup.

White-Rodgers parts are identified by a part number or manufacturing code. Often the manufacturing code changes but the part number remains the same. Such would be the case if White-Rodgers made improvements to the part, but the part remained fully interchangeable with the previous version.

White-Rodgers part numbers start with the letter F, such as F811-0398. The manufacturing code starts EAC A, example EAC A811-0395. Sometimes the EAC is omitted and the code starts with just the A. The manufacturing code is often stamped in black ink. If using a manufacturing code. lookup the part number in the A to F Cross Ref, then search our site for the part number.

Your problem is:
   The LED indicator light is not coming on
   The cell never sparks
   Power box switch is ON
   Door is tight in place
   Blower is ON

Verify Power is Present
Unplug the power box and operate a drop-light in the 3-prong receptacle verifying an acceptable voltage and current.
Check for Shorted Cells
A shorted cell can prevent the indicator light from coming on. Disconnect the cell and with the access door back in place operate without the cells. If the unit now appears OK with indicator LED ON, then the cell has a problem.
1. Operate without the cell
2. Check cell for broken ionizing wires
3. Check cell for bent plates
Check the High Voltage Cable for a Short
The high voltage cable connecting the power box to the cell could have a short that would also prevent the indicator light from coming on. This could also cause the LED to blink ON ½ second or less when switching the power on.
Repair Power Box
If the power box is plugged in to 120v and the LED indicator still does not light without the cells (blower must be running), then the problem is in the power box.
1. Check the on/off switch, Connectors, and wiring.
2. An LED problem is not likely if the cells never spark. Note the LED will not light if its blue and white wires are crossed.

The White-Rodgers warranty for all electronic air cleaner replacement parts is One year. Our customers simply ship us the defective part. We test and confirm the part is defective. We then ship back a brand new part at no charge.
