I can smell burning electrics when I turn my Ionic Cleanse Machine on, powers up fine & beeps

[Olwen Horrigan]

Hi everyone, A newbie here requiring advice .... here goes.

I have an Ionic Cleanse Detox Machine as my Lymphatic Systems gets blocked up.

First time I used it I had NO problems with it but his time when I flick on the power switch it's lights up and beeps as it should but then I can smell burning electric and see very light smoke rising from the back of it, I obviously turned it off at the mains and am unsure what to do next, to replace the unit with new would cost £100 which I can't afford.
Any ideas as to why it powers up fine then smells of burnt electrics? Please if you need more information from me just ask. Thanks in advance.

How old is it? Have you tried contacting the manufacturers or suppliers? If out of warranty, maybe it could be repaired cheaper than £100.

Better off taking it to a repair shop,
once they see the problem then they can advise about repairs
other wise we are just stabbing in the dark !

Hi Olwen,

Is this one of those unit where you put your feet in a bowl of warm salty water which then turns brown during 'treatment'?

If so, this may be worth a read.

Be careful with who you get to carry out repairs on the machine, particulally if it involves putting bodyparts in water with electrodes.
