AirSense 10 grinding noise

[periksson]

Hi everyone,

So I managed to drop my ResMed AirSense 10 on the floor as I woke up, with the humidifier half full of water. I got the water out, and let the whole machine dry for a day.

When using it again, the motor sounds weird, like a grinding noise. I caught it on Youtube.

Did I manage to damage the motor?

Thanks a lot,

Kind regards

I don’t think you damage the blower motor. I would remove the tank and check the Air Outlet Adapter.
The sudden jolt may have dislodged that in a way that it’s not getting a proper connection to the tank and creating that whine. That adapter is removable .

Hi again,

The adapter seemed to be in place, popped it out and put it back but I still had the same noise and a too high pressure.

Headed to the government-sponsored repair shop which claimed it was something to do with the fan.

Anyway I received an AirSense 11 instead so I am happy.

Thanks a lot!
