A filter sterilizer for an air purifier and a method for controlling the same. The filter sterilizer includes a filter unit for purifying indoor air, and a controller for controlling the operation of sterilizing the filter. The controller operates both an air blast fan and an ion generator in an air purification mode, to sterilize indoor air, and stops the operation of the air blast fan and operates the ion generator independently in a filter sterilization mode, to sterilize the filter unit. The filter sterilizer sterilizes the filter unit for purifying air without a separate sterilizing apparatus, thereby reducing a user's economic burden and simply sterilizing the filter unit.
