My Pur FM-3700B had the green light come on, when I used it, for about one month. Now I have no green or red light. Should I change the cartridge?

I would try it if it still doesn't work call the company they will replace it if it is broken.

I have the same situation, but after a much longer period of use. My second filter was at the stage when the light would flash red. Before I replaced it, the light stopped working. I replaced the filter, and still no light working. Checking online, I found that, with the filter out, you can access the switch for the light. I pressed it and the light activated. Put the filter back in and it didn't work. Repeated a couple more time, with no success. I also read online that there is no direct relationship between the light and the filter itself; it simply tracks water flow. I have decided to keep using it until there is an obvious change in either flow rate or water quality. I have the same situation, but after a much longer period of use.

I personally ignore the light indicator. Changing the filter really depends on how much you use it. The filter is good for 100 gallons of water or 1,600 8oz cups. Usually last for about 3 months again depending on how often you are running water threw it. Hope this helps.

When I purchased this brand the reviews says that it may take a few tries to get it to work. I had a cartridge that did not work, and I removed it and put in back in and it worked.If that does not work I would contact the seller for a solution. Hopefully, this works. :)

On my unit the green light went out after a while, while the unit was still in warranty. The unit otherwise appeared OK. I called Intermatic and after some discussion and email they sent me a new unit. Their thought was that the light burned out. I took the 'bad' one apart and it looked OK on the inside, so it likely was a bad bulb. The green light should always be on when the unit is powered.

I haven't had that happen to me. You may have damaged something, on the cartridge, I mean. Sorry. I have had good luck with all of mine so far.

I have used mine for about four months, lots of greasy smoke, filters still green. Should replace the filters when the light turns red.

No. Might change color but cartridge will still be spent. Must replace when all media turns purple. Carbon part will also be saturated.

I had the same exact thing happen, what you have to do is tap the side of the cartridge to loosen it up and just keep inserting and pulling it out until the red light goes away. I literally had the same problem, took me a good 8-10 minutes to get it to work, but after I got it working I started printing and the quality was excellent. You just gotta get past that hump, but yes the toner does work and works great!

o, just push it in. If you find it prints funny, such as missing out lines, just take out the cartridge and reinsert it. i found that happened when I changed the black one.

When you open the new filter, you will find a new battery in there too. The battery is responsible for thelittle light that changes from green to red when the filter needs to be replaced. I change mine much more often than you. Good luck.

I didn't have a problem. Just make sure to remove the orange tag on the back of the cartridge. Good luck.

I was told its green when fully charged but mine worked for 10 minutes, had a funny smell & quit working. Id send it back & get something of quality

Sorry, mine just stopped working pretty sooner after purchase. Took it to designated repair shop, no parts available. Greenworks sent me another model for replacement, no problems so far, better design.

I hope you kept your packaging. This happened to me and I learned the hard way that if the cartridge is beyond the expiration date, it will not work! The expiration date is on the outside of the original box. So it is critical you check the date before you open the box and install a cartridge that will not work!

I think red light means there is not enough charge in the battery. I have not used my converter for a few months but I think a green light will show when charge is Adequate.

Check the plunger to see if it is on correct. I went crazy trying to figure out why mine was only working half the time after a cartridge change. I finally noticed that the plunger did not look even so i used a screwdriver to move it back into position. This only worked temporarily before it would get out of position again. I am VERY disappointed with this gun. I have been using a $10 workforce that has seen far more use without problem.

I suppose you have to buy new cartridges. I hope you like your printer better than I like mine. Mine sounds like a truck starting up when I use it.

Yes mine has a green light and a red light that goes off about every minute. This is letting you know your unit is working
