Hi
I have an air leak around the humidifier chamber on my Resmed airsense 10 which gives a whiny noise while operating. A manometer reading shows that the pressure is lower than expected. Replacing the water chamber did not help. Its sit kind of loose when attached to the unit. I might need to replace or adjust some sealing gaskets within the socket where the chamber attaches. Any ideas?
Resmed airsense 10 machine air leak?

If the unit is less than 2 years old take it back for repair...2 year warranty

- Check the humidifier is seated properly within the unit. It should not jiggle.
- Check the gasket on the humidifier is seated properly.
- Within the unit is a port that connects the humidifier to the hose connecter, ensure it is connected properly.

The gasket would be my first thought.....first make sure there isn't a wrinkle in it which can happen. It can sort of get in a bind and cause a leak.
Relatively easy and cheap to replace. I can't seem to find just the gasket by itself.
