Resmed malfunction
My resmed Airsense S10 Autoset with heated humidifier made a sharp noise and stopped functioning entirely. It was bought in Nov 2015. I contacted the shop. I am wondering if this life span is normal or unusual?

RE: Resmed malfunction
No, it's unusual. These machines have a two year warranty in the US and a three year warranty in Australia (if a member of the Resmed Sleepvantage users' club, which everybody is automatically signed up for). They wouldn't offer a three year warranty unless they expect the MTBF to greatly exceed that.
Depending on the nature of the "sharp noise" you should probably receive a replacement machine (or perhaps a new power supply).

RE: Resmed malfunction
Thanks for the info. I could not recall the duration of the warranty and thought it was only one year. I bought it in the US, from a supplier I trust. I wrote them about it today. Fingers crossed they will replace it.

RE: Resmed malfunction
If you hear a sharp snap, it usually is either a direct short or a blown capacitor. You might want to check your power supply with a voltmeter if you have one. But, the best thing is to talk to your dme ... ResMed is great at honoring warrantees.

I have been offered a refurbished unit as replacement. I was told this is usual. I never encountered this, but assume this is standard in this case?

RE: Resmed malfunction
At least you will be made whole with a refurbished unit. It might be interesting to check the run hours. I have run machines oer 19000 hours, so I'd say that was way below expectations.

RE: Resmed malfunction
I am only getting 90 days instead of 2 years warranty on it.

Through an accredited dealer or "alternative" channels? If you bought it new through an accredited outlet you should get a full two year warranty.

RE: Resmed malfunction
I bought it new from one of the suppliers listed on this board.

RE: Resmed malfunction
You have two choices - accept a low usage refurbished unit or ask for the information to have YOUR unit repaired under warranty repair with Resmed. You have almost 2 years usage out of a machine that should last 15,000 hours. I'd want the warranty repair personally unless they were willing to extend the warranty on the refurbished to 6 month or 1 year.
