Here's another great video that shows more detail - • Disassembly and modem ...
Hi everyone, a good friend asked me to take a look at his AirSense 10 as it was starting to make a strange noise. I'm not an electrical engineer but i have fixed a few machines in my time and a lot of the time it can be quite a simple little fix that doesn't even require any replacement parts.
I could tell as soon as i turned it on that it was probably a motor fault which would require a replacement motor but i just thought i would show you the different components and how the machine fits together. Many manufacturers charge through the nose for different components and the labour is normally charged out at well over $150/ hour to work on them. Some manufacturers also have fixed price servicing. I believe Philips charges a flat $450 fee to fix anything on a device.
As a society we tend to just throw things away when they stop working instead of trying to fix them up :-). There's a great feeling of achievement when you fix something that's no longer working and i highly recommend you have a go next time something breaks.
Hope you're all doing well. Take care
Nick

I think the power brick or cable to the power brick in mine is faulty, any suggestions on the most cost effective way to replace or fix it? I'll look again through your videos to see if you cover that but didn't see any the first time I looked.
@CPAPReviews Nick, what would be the cause of the whiny noise at air inlet? This is my second aircurve10 vauto that's done this!
I hope you see my question!
My Air 10 started whining when I stopped putting distilled water in it. I went into settings & turned off humidifier. It doesn’t whine anymore & I had mine when air 10 first came out with no problems. It does have the service message & I noticed it on a couple years ago but it still works fine. My Sis has a Aircurve 10 & now on her second one. She got hers years after I got the air 10 & her service message came up before mine. My Dad & Brother got Air 10’s. I can’t remember if it was before or after my Sis got hers but their machines makes noise & it’s the blower motor. The medical place we all go to doesn’t replace the motors & wants to get us in new machines because our insurances are paying for it. If mine starts making noice I’ll replace the motor. It’s just a big scam that is unnecessary.
After putting in the new blower motor does the service message ever go off?
Mine whined after I stopped using the humidifier but I went into settings & turned it off. Dosen’t whine anymore. I don’t know if this is your problem.
Just installed an aftermarket motor in my S10 with just 7300 hours on it. $130.00 motor Saved me $1000.00 on a new machine. Thankyou
Mine blows air but I can't adjust the air flow. It just blows one level?
Once you replaced the motor did the service message go away?
@@smileysun9212 It hadn't exceeded the hours. About 7000, I think.
I just bought my first Sense 10 so seeing the tear down takes a lot of mystery out of it and given my propensity to taking apart computers, tablets and phones I would not be fazed in doing this myself.
Awesome mate, glad you enjoyed it and all the best for the future. Nick
I have the same problem wining noise can you get a spare motor? If possible how, thanks bot the video
I really appreciate these simple break down videos. These really help for diagnosing problems and being able to get directly to specific parts quickly.
Thanks Nick. I found this very helpful! I am an electronics (now retired) tech by trade and have been using a CPAP for 12 or 13 years now. I wish that I had found your channel a long time ago!
Hi Graeme, that's great mate! Welcome to the channel :-) There's not a whole lot in the machines to be honest. Just a little turbine, circuit board and these days a cellular / wifi module so they can collect all your sleep data. Have a great day
@@CPAPReviews Do you know how to get rid of/disable or remove the SIM card so it stops transmitting/sending data anywhere?
Hey Nick, Thank you for the video, it was very well done. I have had my AirSense 10 for a year and truly enjoy it. You made everything look easy, as you kept peeling parts off.
This info 100% is accurate for the Resmed AirSense 10 Vauto Bipap. All screws and every bit identical with the exception of the color of the front bezel. Replaced the Pump (motor) in mine cleaned it and solved the whine and pressure issues. Ordered a replacement from Amazon it was $127 and took about 45 minutes to do the first time. You need a torks #10 bit for the screws and a pair of tweezers or needle nose plyers to pull the blue silicon back through the holes comfortably. The only hitch was that when reassembled and plugged in it took about an hour for my unit to get its updated settings. The instructions are spot on. Thank you. :-)
Awesome! Thank you
Hello.
Can you tell me how you cleaned the turbine?
Dis-Assembled Cpap 10 without this video or any instructions.
Oiled fan motor by drilling access holes.
Reassembled with only 4screws left over?
Powered up and working without the high pitched whine.
Ran for hour to rid WD40 smell.
My analysis is that the noisy operation it had was because water got into motor from careless handling.
Lesson is that avoiding water into machine best preventative of noise.
Not sure of how to stop noise after watering?
Careful avoiding best.
Very good tear down video!
Thanks!
Where did you lubricate the motor? Where did you drill the holes?
Love my ResMed AirSense 10 because it does it's job and is whisper quiet. Have not used another machine, as it's my first.
Glad to hear it Monica. Have a great day. Nick
@@CPAPReviews
Nick, also, I have been using it for 6 months. It was chosen by my respiratory therapist, as I had to be put on CPAP as soon as possible because I was having one severe tonic/clonic (Grand Mal) seizure after another (but not status epilepticus).
Thank you so much! This was beautifully thorough. I needed to clean inside cause of the mildew smell, this was perfect.
Hi Jasleens, you're most welcome! If you're struggling with bad smells then i can highly recommend this amzn.to/3oMAWNQ . It's a little adaptor which enables you to use essential oils with your cpap therapy so you can basically make it smell like anything you like! I use it with eucalyptus oil when i have a bad sinus or cold. It's very affordable and works very well. Thank you
@@CPAPReviews is it okay to use essential oils? They tell us not to wash it with scented stuff, how won't it mess up the equipment?.....oh now I see it goes at the end of the hose before your mask! Thank you
@@jasleensjourney Check out the link. The adaptor has a little filter that you can use with the oils so it doesn't affect your equipment at all. Cheers
@@CPAPReviews No. A bad smell means your device is infected with mold or worse. It needs an ozone sterilization and in the hoses too, or replace them. To use vapor type odors just place them next to the intake filter.
First night using my first CPAP machine, the very one that you demonstrated. Mate what a blast (pun), best sleep I had in years! It took a bit of getting the mask comfortably set up then after that so easy. As you suggested on another video I started using the machine a few hours before needing to sleep just to get the hang of it and by the time I was ready it was a seamless transition. Over 10 hours I got an average of 2.8 events per hour compared to 48 without. Happy as Larry with only regret being that I paid full price for everything but what the hell if my body and mind is freshly revitalised daily.
Hey legend, thanks for sharing your experience! Great to hear you using a few tips from the channel too. Mate i fully recommend people pay full price for the gear. 1. You will most likely get full service. 2. You are fully supporting people / companies who make very little money and provide excellent support. 3. If you break the cost down night by night it works out to be less than 50c a night. Good for you brother!
I managed to take one apart and reassemble it without breaking a single thing thanks to you. Thanks mate!
Not boring at all. I've been thinking of taking my airsense apart because I'm not sure it's working properly. It was actually a very timely video. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. Was stumped after removing the knobs and connections to the board. Was afraid to pull on the front but worked great. I had the micro switch disengage from the housing and had to reseat it and crimp it in place. This saved me a bunch.
Glad it helped! Mate sure you check out www.sleephq.com mate and grab a free account. It will open up a whole new world of cpap therapy charts. Cheers
Thanks Nick. I found it very interesting. I always come away with something new I have learned. You did make it look simple. I’m afraid it’s a job I would never tackle!!!
Haha, thank you. Yes certainly not for everyone but i imagine many people probably just throw them away when they 'die' and sometimes it's a very very simple fix. Cheers
I used your video as a guide to help me replace the 3G modem with a 4G, and viola, it worked! I even got a connection. It'll be interesting to see if any firmware updates install. Thanks Nicko!
It's very useful to know how to disassemble the machine, for cleaning or repair. Thanks very much.
I agree mate. Cheers

Thanks. With your help I changed the control board to fix a bad screen.
Thank you. I purchased from your ad. Hope it resolves open mouth breathing at night.
Hi there, what ad was that? I'm interested :-)
Thanks! Bought a reclaimed heater element for $30 and with your guide's help got it in and done in five minutes,
Not boring in the least! Very instructive in fact.
Oh appreciate that :-)
Thank you for this very useful video, it's really important for a user to understand CPAP machine's components just in case if we need.
Hi there, really appreciate the comment. Thank you!
Thank you so much for providing this video. I was able to see why the motor was making a terrible noise. I now need to replace the motor. Once again thank you!
Thanks a lot for this video. You are going to save me a lot of money. A power surge damaged my main board and now I know how easy it is to fix it. I got a quote for a gently used unit of $875.
did you replaced a new main board? if so where did you bought a new main board?

Hi Nick, thank you for this great information. Could you tell me the thermal fuse rating for the heating element?
Thank you for the video! My own Airsense 10 is exhibiting the same noisy motor issues, was nice to see the tear down.
Thanks a ton for the video. I looked this up because my machine makes a weird noise, however a different noise than what's in your video. Watching your video makes opening mine much less intimidating. Thanks
Loved this! Would enjoy more of these! Dreamstation next?
Hi Korey, awesome mate. I thought there might be 1 person in the world who might be interested! Yeah i was also thinking of doing the dreamstation and comparing the components with the dreamstation 2. Might be interesting to see what's actually changed ;-)
@@CPAPReviews I use the Dreamstation, and have watched reviews for the Dreamstation 2. I think the Dreamstation 2 will be more of a pain to use than what I've got. I have no desire to get the new version. Hope mine lasts a long time!
So did I. Fascinating to learn how this machine that lives in my home actually works. Thanks, Nick!
Hey Nick,
Great Video/teardown. If i could give u 1 bit of constructive feedback it would be this. Wear an Anti-static wrist strap when you are working on these machines. You wouldn't want to fry one of those chips with static electricity when you are repairing it ;)
Great video thx for posting have you looked for after market spare motors etc. It will be a $10 part max, probably just a bearing. My machine is whistling under load I will let you know what I find and hopefully fix - Cheers
Did you find extra motor

Had mine about 5 years. Making a fan noise. Great video. Fun. Probably got me for a grand.
Thanks for this video mate. Didn't your friend have the 5 year (extended) warranty that resmed gives?
No he imported it so he could probably buy a couple more and still break even haha.
I love how all of these CPAP‘s use full size SD cards. Despite the fact that virtually nothing else does anymore.
thank you so much for sharing! It's easy to do a video, but really put heart into it is really hard. After watching yours, i don't need to test those devices by myself. I owe you one,my pal. Hope someday I can make up for it :)))
Thanks, your video was very helpful. I had taken my mother’s apart without taking the usual pictures and was stumped as to where one bit went back (the polyethylene support under the air pump). Stopping your video at the right spot I could see how it went back.
PS. Hopefully helpful to others, the machine was making a similar whining noise. I thought it might be bearings (not repairable) but when I got the pump out I found a small dead insect in the input end and the output end very dirty. I am assuming the machine must have been run at some point with no filter or a badly installed one. After getting the bug out and cleaning the best I could it is completely silent as original. Thanks again.
Back a few years ago my now deceased grandma got one of these, except it was leased, not owned by her.
That meant that whenever a fault would have occurred someone qualified would have taken care of everything, therefore eliminating the "need" for a DIY repair.
Leasing medical equipment like a CPAP, insulin pump or even a simple pair of crutches is actually quite common here in France, in fact it may be the only way to get proper reimbursement by our universal healthcare service.
Wonder how it works in Australia though.
Thanks a lot for this video! I was able to troubleshoot my CPAT after watching your video. Really appreciate it!!!
My power button on my Resmed 10 just stopped working. I hope I can find a tutorial on how to fix it. Thanks for your tutorial on how to take them apart!
Very interesting. Saw where I could get the pump and casing off of Amazon for cheap. Great video. Very helpful. Thank You.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did not see any "foam-gate" in this Resmed on dismantle, just a small ring of foam to stop vibration and insulation but no air flowing through or over any foam. The secret with Resmed seems to be, a thicker motor surround casing, with an air intake pipe going directly into the motor (no chamber plastic channels) combined with a decent silicon secondary casing within the first casing wrapped around the motor. Brilliant! Looking at this Resmed, it seems better, more intelligently built than the Philips System One or Dreamstation. When I get a few pennies together I might get me one. In saying that, in using my back-up System One Philips again instead of my Dreamstation, I can definitely say that the Dreamstation is a significantly better unit than the System One and besides the foam/ recall issue, the Dreamstation works very well and I like using it.
Thanks Nick
Not boring at all. Great video. My only recommendation: should have changed the motor whatsoever it was out.
Thank you! It’s hard to get back and forth to the VA
Wait! What happened to your test of the motor? Why was that edited out? Can I buy a replacement motor and replace it myself? The waiting list for these machines is over 3 months! I can't go that long without my machine!
Hello just found your video. My CPAP is making the same noise. I was wondering about replacing it. I really do need to have a CPAP and the noise it makes is so loud my wife and I can't get to sleep. We have a toddler now and to be honest we aren't sleeping much these days anyway but when I take naps, its nice to have my cpap for restorative sleep. Thanks again for this video! I found it a great resource!
Great video. I was able to install a new motor. Thanks a lot.
This was really informative. Thank you
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
That fuse at 2:30. My understanding is that is a thermal fuse. What would the specs be for a replacement fuse? My Resmed 10 no longer heats up.
The ResMed AirSence 10 is 1000% easier to disassemble than the S9. I live in Florida USA and had tiny "crazy ants" build a nest inside the ventilator housing. Due to the current transportation problem I was forced to repair/clean the unit. So with great trepidation opened the S9, that took 3 1/2 hours to slowly open without breaking any plastic clips. The S10 seems much better designed and will be my next machine.
Thanks for sharing that info. Hopefully you got all those ants out haha. Cheers
Does ResMed sell pumps? I looked everywhere on the web for an "AirSense 10 pump" and they're not even for sale on Ebay LOL! Sad they are so easy to replace, yet no one sells them. I believe there's a niche market here, even for use parts! Hmmmmmmm
I Agree with you! I recon you could by old/used machines and break them up and sell the parts individually and make a decent profit on the components. Kind of like a one of those car yards with all the dead cars haha. This would be the last thing the manufacturers would want though. They hate the idea of people fixing their machines instead of buying new ones. Have a great day. Nick
And thank you for your videos. It helped me repair my own machine without having to spend $400 or more for repairs and $900 for another machine. This seems to be like a scam sometimes as well
Just like the S9 motor 'motor life exceeded' scam.
Mine has a really similar problem so probably also the motor. Mine is almost 6 years old and have had no issues with it until now. Oh well, I have another on order but it's several weeks out
Are you sure about that T3 driver size for the fasteners? Not sure if we use different Torx measurements here in the US, but mine were T10.
Sorry for commenting on an old video, but I'm a little afraid to disassemble my equipment, but it has been emitting a sound when inhaling for quite some time now, I have a suspicion that it is the motor. Should I replace the motor? considering that I have checked that the water tank is tightened properly... Many thanks!
The video was quite effective for training the disassembly, but several things were (for me) trial and error during assembly. I cannibalized a new but worthless Aircurve 10 and put in it an ASV whose motor wore out through 10 years of use.
Your video was great! It helped me diagnose my Resmed Airsense 10 issue: the flex cable inside the machine that runs power to the air tube snapped. I’m trying to find this part, but it is very difficult. Do you know where I should look? Or is sourcing this part impossible?
I've been using my AirSense 10 for a year now, but just within the last 3 nights I've woken up in the middle of the night with extremely dry mouth. I haven't changed any settings or replaced parts during that period of time.
I use a full face mask. Even on max manual humidity and max climateline temperature, I'm getting absolutely zero vapor out of my unit. With previous CPAP models, I could hold my hand to the mask and feel the water droplets coming out, but the air coming out of my A10 is completely dry.
Even more confusing is that the humidifier plate is still hot to touch. The water level in the chamber goes down as well. I don't see any leaks on my nightstand and my mask seal fits snug. When I take out the chamber and poke my fingers inside the unit, it's bone dry. Doesn't seem like any water is making it to the tubing at all.
I've looked up tons of forum posts and looked through manuals and found no solutions. I don't even know where the humidity is escaping to. I've already tried replacing the chamber and tubing to weed out any parts defects. And common solutions like getting a chinstrap/fullface mask and tweaking humidity/hose settings don't seem to apply in my situation since I'm not getting ANY humidity to the mask at all.
I'm lost on how to troubleshoot the problem further... Any idea what could be causing this?
DUDE! This is doing my head in! Okay, so if the water is going down and the heater plate is hot to the touch then then the humidifier DEFINITELY WORKS! It could potentially be due to a change in seasons ( Is it getting colder where you live?) Or potentially due to mouth leak / mouth breathing during the night. I don't think it has anything to do with the machine / humidifier / tubing... I think it 's has to be something to do with either yourself or the atmosphere. I've been doing this so long i rarely have to think but this one got me good! Especially after a couple of scotch and cokes haha.
@@CPAPReviews It's been getting hotter, actually. I think I do naturally mouth-breathe when sleeping, but setting the humidifier a few notches away from the highest setting has always compensated for that. I don't know why it stopped keeping up. But I can now rule out the machine/humidifier as the source of the problem.
I replaced the tubing, mask and the entire setup after a night of desperation. I went back to my old Resmed S9 and had the same issue, waking up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. That confirmed that the issue never had anything to do with the A10 in the first place.
So you're probably right. Must be something like a shift in the atmosphere, seasons, etc. I might have just been running out of water overnight, and that's why it seemed like it wasn't working.
Thanks 🙏 for doing this stream know I no what’s wrong with mine does that sound and loud appreciate what you do have a wonderful day and weekend
Remarkable Video. Always wondered what was inside that GIZMO. Wonderful VIDEO. Love the little "MR BEAN" picture in the corner. How do I locate the IP address of the unit ? I'm switching from one CPAP Vendor to another ... and they may need it to swap over the monitoring for data stuff..... I wish I could understand more of the SLEEPYHEAD data. Thanks for all you do.
Cheers legend. Most welcome! I'm not sure on the i.p thing and because it's cellular i don't know if it actually has one :-)
Great video, I have two of these, so great video in case I have an issue I’d feel comfortable getting into it.
Would have you rather taken the same time to reassemble as you did disassemble. Thanks for a great a video. What is the newest bibpap machine out there?
Would there be any reason to clean out the inside air connectors? I've had a cough for a couple of months and wondering if there's any chance that those connection for air could be germ filled or something. Don't want to take it apart if nobody's ever heard of the machine actually doing that. Or if you have any other advice
Excellent Tutorial Brother!!!
Thanks legend. Glad you liked it
Hi,
I have a message that the turbine is at the end of its life.(Resmed Airsense 10) I changed the turbine, but I still have the message. How to reset it to stop having this message.
THANKS
Serge
MY CPAP MACHINE IS LEAKING WATER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CPAP MACHINE. WHAT PART WOULD I NEED TO DO TO FIX IT OR WHAT PART WOULD i NEED TO GET ?
It's likely the humidifier tub - ruclips.net/video/SSmTv1EY0g0/видео.html
Any chance you'd have the aircurve 10? It'd be interesting to see its disassembly and compare it with the airsense 10
Nice video! Will have it front of me when I try to disassemble my ResMed AirSense 10. I've had this machine for about 5 1/2 years now, and it has developed a kind of stale, musty odor. The oder starts about 10 seconds after I turn on the AirSense 10 at night, and slowly dissipates somewhat. My guess is that the fan blades and assembly have become coated with some kind of contaminant, but I can't properly see the fan without disassembling the unit. Maybe it's even the foam disc that can get damaged by the ionizing process, as you mentioned.
Does it sound likely to you that cleaning the fan area will fix my problem? If so, what would you use to clean it? Also, is there any way to clean it without disassembling it? Thanks for any info.
I’m having the exact same problem - have you found a solution yet?
I got my air 10 when they first came out & I haven’t had problems. Just the message to service it came up but still no problems. The rest of my family all got Air 10’s some time after me & has problems. My Sis is on her second one because her service message came on way before mine & I had mine longer. She uses the humidifier but I turned mine off. We all use the same medical supplier & they’re a big scam. They don’t replace the blower motor & gets us into new machines because are insurances will pay for it.
Will the service message go off once you replace the blower motor?
Well done! Thank you, mate.
Cheers legend. Much appreciated :)
Enjoyed watching your video. As a newly diagnosed user of the CPAP machine I own the same model. I don’t know if it would have helped but did you try blowing out the motor for dust and dirt. As well as some lubricant on the motor. Just a thought. Thank you again for your channel.
Hey Stuart, welcome to the channel. Great to hear you enjoyed the vid. You're spot on! I do have a little air compressor that i use on the motors to try and flush out the dust and debris etc. I do small short bursts of controlled air pressure and it does work about 50% of the time. This one was just stuffed though. It's a shame they glue the components together which makes taking apart the motor impossible. They probably do this on purpose. I haven't tried the lubricant though so i will certainly have a play around with that next time. All the best mate. Nick
@@CPAPReviews by the way I’m a former Aussie living in the US. I was lucky enough during Covid to not only be diagnosed but on essentially on government healthcare all taken care of. 👍 I really thought I was losing the plot. I was forgetting things like I had Alzheimer’s. I’d sleep for hours on end. I had a stroke two years ago more than likely as a result of the sleep apnea. These days still getting there but definitely a lot better. Thanks Nick take care for now.
I'm wondering if it might be possible to drill a 1 or 2 mm hole in the side of the motor body, and dribble a little oil down onto the motor spindle... Once my new motor arrives (made out of pure Chinesium) I may try and fix the old one - but am not too hopefull. BTW If you buy them in bulk, the motors go for as little as us$25 each!!! But you'd have to buy about a thousand of them!
I just got my 3rd AirSense10 machine, this week. However, I see they are now making them in Singapore, not Australia. I wonder if the quality is as good. At least, they're not making them in China.
. Hi thanks for your video. Very useful. We had a rattle in our machine so we took it down until we identified a little oblong shaped part that says PA26B on it which can be seen in your video at 5.06. It sits on the inside of the left side part that includes the filter. It looks like it’s soldered on, have you any advice on how we can put it back? The machine still runs so I’m not sure why that is, so my next question is, do you know why the machine would still be running with this part loose? And what is this part for? Thank you very much in advance.
Ty for the video. Mine keeps turning off. Any solutions you could share?
G'day Andrew, have you tried switching 'smart start' off. It's a setting in the clinical menu (it might perhaps be in the patient menu also). Smart Start is also 'auto off' and sometimes these 'auto off / auto on' features can cause problems. Try switching it off . Cheers
Just a heads up. It seems that when I take the foam out beside the motor. It creates a lack of back pressure on that motor and just blasts full pressure. I put it back in and it seems to regulate fine.
Greetings, I just found your channel looking for a tear down guide for the ResMed AirSense10 and this came up with just what I needed so thanks for that. I purchased a 2nd unit that did not have the cellular card in it and purchased a cellular 4G card and installed the unit. Now I need to figure out how to activate the card and get it to start transmitting. Is that a internal setting that needs to be turned on that will activate the cellular modem? And if so where can I find that setting from the front panel controls. I had hoped that enabling the technician menu I would find that setting there. But sadly I did not see a selection to turn on or turn off the cellular PC card to activate that feature. So if you if there is a internal or software switch that need to be activated and the location it would really help my quest. Thanks
Thanks Nick. Seems to be a common issue. Mines about same age and recently started making a loud whining noise which makes it impossible to sleep. Unfortunately I’m overseas and had to buy a new auto set 10 from Australia as can’t get it looked at or repaired locally. Wondering how much the motor would cost to replace?
Hi Mate, i think ResMed charge around $500 to replace the turbine. I wouldn't be buying any ResMed stuff from Australia as it's double the price compared to the U.S. You can pick up complete refurbished S10 machines and used ones for around $400 usd. Cheers Nick
Excellent video. I followed right along. Will replace motor. Wish me luck....urh... I mean skill.
Hey CPAP reviews! I'm glad I ran into your video. So I have a question. I have a bedbug problem that I don't want going into the new apartment. If I take mine apart, will it be safe to use rubbing alcohol to kill anything inside my machine?
G'day Rob, there will be no bedbugs inside the machine haha. No, don't use rubbing alcohol on anything electronic. Cheers
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful.
Do you know where the "swivel assembly " is located? A CPAP technician has recommended it be replaced on my Resmed 10. The problem was that my CPAP wasn't providing the usual suction.
Wow. $1000 USD for about $50 worth of plastic and electronics. MAYBE a couple hundred if one were so inclined to emulate one with 3D printed parts and Raspberry Pi control unit for bare minimum functionality. Fascinating!
What’s that little blue piece that was left out? I took mine apart and reassembled and noticed it after as well…
Edit found what it was. Saw I missed it on reassembly. It goes on back of left side of circuit board and connects to blower motor assembly.
You are amazing... I found your video and was able to replace my motor! I do have 2 weird issues now though, very minor. The machine no longer is auto turning off if I take the mask off, and a couple times now putting my mask on to go to sleep, the full face mask keeps making the sealing noise, and then it keeps doing that. Almost like it's not maintaining enough pressure to keep the mask sealed up yet during the ramp up? Any ideas? Cheers from the US!
I have 2 resmed 10s. One has developed an issue. The unit will not power on. The round power button flashes randomly and very briefly. Wiggling the plug or power cord changes nothing.
Both power supplies are working properly and will power the working unit.
I don't know if there is a plug issue or perhaps a fuse is failing.
Any advice?
Excellent video, thanks.
Thanks Karl, appreciate that brother. Nick
Hey Mate.. I punched the top button of my AirCurve 10 ASV and now it won't turn on. Your video didn't quit go into the mechanics of that top button. Can you guide me?
Great video. Really helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it Darshan. Thank you!
great work i have one airsense 20 and yje start button is stuck, is it posssible to repair it?
ANTS!!!! I'm not joking. There was the largest nest of ants living in my CPAP. Same model.
I had Ants get into my guitar amp once mate and it's was insane!
@@CPAPReviews How ironic! I had ants in my Fender Telecaster (thinline) when I was switching out a pickup!
Nice Job, thanx for the vídeo
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
wow thanks nick was awesome to watch, can not believe they are worth $1000-$2500 for these units..... mine the power supply stopped working and went back to my s9... Then I got a after market power supply just delivered today.... as I plug the new power cord in the s10 top button green light flashes and when the cord is pushed in completely it still has no power to the s10 but the green light is on the power cord box?
had to turn the cord a few times and made a connection finally as I was inspecting the small wire in the middle of the plug
@@CPAPReviews no didnt drop it just stopped working in the middle of the night and no green light on the power supply, got a power supply off ebay but after market $45 and a bit of a dodgy plug into the machine.... after plugging it in a few times and inspecting the middle pin wire it powered up so I wont touch it while its working :)
Great stuff mate, glad to hear it!
Not sure what's wrong with my 10. Does fine starting up for a couple minutes but then blast 100% full pressure. Unplugging doesn't help. Also if this doesn't happen it will not hardly blow at all. Keeps telling me there's a restricted hose. Must be a sensor of some sort. When I picked up the 11 the therapist told me not to use the Soclean2 to clean the machine. She says the ozone destroys some of the parts. Maybe it damaged the 10.
Can we do without the old foam disc in any old Airsense 10? There is a potential danger to leave it in?
Excellent video I learned quite a lot. Question though... Can I find online a place to replace those motors as my Philips rest products BiPAP pro has failed. It is no longer blowing air and the machine is 9 years old, lol. Thank you
I disassembled the unit to inspect the foam gasket and it was completely gone with bits and pieces of the foam in the housing as well as around the impellers. Prior to me checking I was getting a "System fault, refer to user guide, Error 003". I seen on line that this is a pressure fault. My thought was that the motor was not performing so a replaced the motor and foam filter and reassembled. Unfortunately I am still getting a Error 003. Any Ideas as to next steps or should I just move on and purchase another unit?
I have this same CPAP and I need to replace the motherboard on it. Can you tell me how to disconnect the flat cable and the three wires?
Thanks, Nick.
My husband's AS10 was getting noisy. Between your video and one other where someone cleaned an ugly parts machine, I managed to take apart, clean and put back together his machine. It is much quieter now. This video was the best explained one though and so easy to follow. I have years of experience restoring vintage sewing machines and they need a lot of cleaning too. Certainly less technical than a CPAP.
One note: In my tech screwdriver kit, the T10 was the screwdriver for the AS 10 screws, not a T3 as mentioned in your video. Not sure is those numbers vary by country?
I did th same - but mine stayed quiet for only abour three minutes, then the dreaded 'whine' came right back. So it;s either ear-plugs for me, or shell out for a new motor!
@@richardkingadi5511 The replacement blower arrived today and I installed it. His machine works great now and it as quiet as it ever was. The new motors are worth it.
@@ellellbee I also have one on the way!
@@ellellbee My new motor is on the way!
@@richardkingadi5511I'm glad ear plugs work for you, bc doesn't help me very much. Stupid sound comes through my tube which then travels down the frame (bc I have an f30i) and right into my ear
As another mentioned... I've looked everywhere to buy a new motor/pump and nowhere to be found. Quite a racket these CPAP companies run? I guess I can understand that it's considered to be a medical device.
I have a 2016 model will not use grade as the newer machine have noise issue. My Med Tech said the newer units had issues with noise that would have to be fixed or tolerated.
@@martinmartinshaw2 yes, both the resmed airsense 10 and aircurve 10 have blower motor issues.....it is hit or miss on them whether or not the motor will be noisy right out of the box and after some hours they all become noisy. I know.....I have several aircurve and one airsense and have been round and round
with the cpap supplier. Resmed does not want to warranty or fix them anymore....honestly, there should be a recall on them. I WAS going to switch to dreamstation awhile back but then they had their recall due to the foam issues, SO I am staying with my noisy resmed units.
Hi , ive seen motors for sale on fb market place . From china i think $ 289 Aussie
I know this is an old post, but you can get them from AliExpress for 99 bucks.
After my airsense 10 is done with ramp up, my machine whistles when i inhale, just recently started doing it
When I look at my display first thing in the morning to see my sleep report, the screen is dark and hard to read, but after a while the screen brightens and is easy to read, then when just left, it goes darker again? any thoughts please? As in is there an adjustment i can do or is there a fault in the machine?
