[CPAP] CPAP Motor/blower

CPAP Motor/blower
I have a ResMed Sullivan V Elite CPAP. The blower motor has failed its bearings. The motor and impeller are easy enough to replace. I would like to get a replacement motor for the unit and then use this machine as a backup. Before the bearing failure, the unit worked perfectly. Any suggestions as to where to proceed?

They don't sell repair parts. So, unless you find someone with a defunct unit where the blower isn't the problem, you likely cannot get the part.

There are shops that rebuild motors, but it's likely to cost you several hundred dollars.

RE: CPAP Motor/blower
The Sullivan V is a very old machine. Instead of throwing money at a machine that is likely to fail in other areas soon, I would suggest you consider purchasing a newer unit. You can get a new XT Fit CPAP for $189 or a new PR System One DS150 for only $248 from Supplier #1. If you don't mind purchasing a used Machine, Supplier #2 on the Supplier List is currently offering several gently used machines for less than $300, and a couple for less than $200.

RE: CPAP Motor/blower
Suppliers #27 and #28 can advise you on CPAP repairs. Your best bet is to find another one of those machines and salvage the parts you need.
