ResMed S9 Error "high current fault"
I got my S9 stop working for a while. I can setup everything, but once I push the start/stop button, it shows:
Humidify Level
High Current fault
Contact your service provider
Well, it's been long, they are no longer in business.
I can't find cause anywhere. Does it mean electronic part got shot sometime? Can I replace a part? Rest of the machine seem well.
Also, if I push the start/stop button, the unit got restart sometime. And, when I plug power supply in, the humidifier part has a small red light flushes.
Please help, any suggestion is welcomed and appreciated!

G'day yyyy, welcome to Apnea Board.
It sounds like your humidifier has a fault. What happens if you detach the humidifier from the main unit and turn on the main unit? Do you still get an error? If not, then you may need a new humidifier. Supplier No 2 (

Thanks so much, I did disconnect the humidifier unit, the error message stays same, "humidifier" was in background.
It reset by itself once a while during my setup. Can I call Resmed support? or do I have to buy a new one? $569

If it isn't the humidifier, it may be the heated hose or the power block.

It would not be the heated hose if he gets the error message with the humidifier disconnected from the machine.
YYYY,
Did you turn your machine off and pull the plug from the outlet while you disconnected the humidifier? Then plug back in and turn PAP unit on. Do you still get the same error message?
Best Regards,

PaytonA, Thanks much again. Yes, I did unplug power and hose and reset for a while, then start. The result are same, since I did it several times along the way, That's first thing I can think of.
Is their support friendly and helpful?

friendly and helpful are relative terms.
About as friendly and helpful as AT&T, Dell or CitiBank.

You'll need technical bench service. The error is detected by a MOSFET device that monitors current flow and triggers the system off when it is out of normal parameters.

That could very well be, as my house got shocked by thunder once. I don't have whole house surge protector, so many phones and electronic devices get smoked, but this one was fine at that time.
Can I force a manufacturer reset?
