AirSense 10 making a high pitched sound

Post by Gator5000e » Tue Jun 22, 2021 10:25 am

As the title states my machine has just started making a sort of high pitched sound that is pretty continuous. It sounds like it's coming from the filter side but can't really be sure. I am not sure what the noise is or what to do about it. I do have a dreamstation as a backup (but then I came on site - my first one in a while and see the recall....figures).

So any suggestions on what to do. I bought the AirSense from a person who sells machines pretty regularly on this site. I understand I bought it as is. So I was just trying determine what my options are or if anyone knows how to remedy the problem.

Thanks in advance.

sounds like it's the blower motor. i would suggest contacting http://acbio.com/ and see how much they want for repair.

good luck!

Have you checked your humidifier bin? I get a high pitch when it's not installed correctly. Maybe you have leaky seal?

Good idea. I will check but I don't believe that is the issue. But thanks.
