I then mix a solution of white vinegar and water and allow all items mentioned to soak for about 10-15 minutes. I then rinse thoroughly, especially my hose, let all air ...

Re: ResMed S9 Humidifier Clicking Noise (h5i)

Hope you get it fixed, I have 2 resmed s9's(Elite & Auto Set) and neither one clicks. Been very satisfied with them. There has to be something the factory can do for you...if not try craigs list, I saw a resmed s9 humidifier somewhere on there...cheap. Good luck.
