Re: Cannot open it to replace the filter. How do I open...
There is a screw on the bottom. That has to be loosened completely and then the front panel pulls off to the left. When you put it back it has to engage exactly or the screw won't screw back in.

3 possibles come to mind
fuel vaporization in the line to the carby or in the carby bowl (check float level adjustment)
valves are being held open when hot--- valve stem lengths increase reducing tappet clearance___adjust valves when hot
check coil/ ignition module for failure when hot as they can open circuit ./ short circuit when internal components fail from heat
Filter Replacement Filter Replacement Indicator: Your Defender® is equipped with a Filter Replacement Indicator located on the front panel. Anytime this red indicator flashes, it is recommended that you call your authorized FILTERQUEEN® Distributor to order a replacement filter. Anytime this red indicator stops flashing and remains solidly illuminated, it is recommended that you change your filter. To receive full benefit from your Defender® and to extend your warranty, it is strongly recommended that you follow the filter replacement schedule suggested above. Under higher pollution levels, your filters will need to be replaced more frequently. The Filter Replacement Indicator is operated by filter time in use and is controlled by an onboard timer. After 11 months of time in use of your Medi-Filter® Cartridge, the Filter Replacement Indicator will begin to flash. It will continue to flash until the you reach 12 months of time in use, at which time the Filter Replacement Indicator will stop flashing and remain solidly illuminated. After replacement of your Medi-Filter® Cartridge, you must reset the Filter Replacement Indicator's timer. When the timer has been properly reset, the Filter Replacement Indicator will turn off. Resetting the Filter Replacement Indicator Timer: After replacement of your Medi-Filter® Cartridge per the instructions found on page 7, the Filter Replacement Indicator's timer can be reset by performing the following sequence of steps: 1Plug unit into outlet. 2Press power On/Off switch to the On ("I") position. 3Allow unit to start running at low speed. 4PRESS and HOLD both the Up and Down arrow buttons until the Filter Replacement Indicator starts to blink. 5 Release both the Up and Down arrow buttons. 6 While the Filter Replacement Indicator is still flashing*, again PRESS and HOLD both the Up and Down arrow buttons until the Filter Replacement Indicator turns off. If the steps above have been performed properly, the Filter Replacement Indicator will turn off and not flash again for 11 months. If the Filter Replacement Indicator remains on, repeat the steps again. *Note that in step 6 above, the Filter Replacement Indicator MUST still be flashing when the buttons are pressed the second time. The Filter Replacement Indicator will continue to flash for approximately 3 seconds after the buttons are released as required in step 5 above. Note: Under higher pollution levels, your filters will need to be replaced more frequently.

Your best option is to remove the cells and pre-filters and replace with a disposable box filter. IF your eac is repairable it will cost a lot - IF! Otherwise you'll need to have a tech to your home - he'll need to diagnose it in your system, in operation.
Turn off the unit Open the filter cover On the top right corner, there is a small hole Push a paper clip into this and the change filter light will stop blinking.
