ResMed AirSense 10 Problems and Error Messages.

Motor life exceeded, contact care provider

This message will display when you reach 21,900 hours of use (5 years, 12 hours per day). That is the design life of the blower motor and replacement is recommended. When we replace a blower motor, we change the blower hours to 0, which will stop the message from displaying (at least until another 21,900 hours). Changing the blower hours can only be completed through the ResMed computerized software. This is just another reason why you should use a ResMed Authorized Service Center such as us!

Power connector at rear of device not fully inserted

This is caused by, you guessed it, the power cord not being fully inserted into the back of the machine. Sometimes the seal around the power input port on the back becomes warped and folded over. This makes it difficult to plug in the power supply. When plugging in the power supply to the back of the machine, hold the front with one hand, and twist while pushing the power supply into the power input port. If this doesn’t help, then you will need to have the whole board replaced, so try harder 🙂

Power connector at rear of device not fully inserted

Your SD card has become corrupted. It may be possible to fix this by putting the SD card in a computer (that has an SD card port) and reformatting the SD card. If this doesn’t work, then you can purchase a new SD card pretty much anywhere.

High leak detected

This is typically an issue with one of you disposable CPAP supplies such as the humidifier water chamber not being fully inserted, mask not creating a seal, or tubing not connected properly.

Heating system fault, therapy will run without heating

This is caused by either a faulter heater plate or main PCA board.

Tubing blocked, check your tubing

This is caused by either a blockage in the tubing, or water on the flow sensor.

System fault, refer to user guide

This precedes one of the following error codes

Error 001

This is a hardware issue, caused by either a faulty blower motor or pressure sensor on the main PC board. A part will need to be replaced and unit calibrated to fix this issue.

Error 002

This is a pressure sensor fault. It is possible that the CPAP needs to be recalibrated. If that doesn’t solve the problem, then you will need a new main PC board. In either instance, it will need to be returned to a ResMed Authorized Service Center such as us for corrective action.

Error 003

Error 004

This error message refers to the main PC board being over temperature. This is typically corrected by unplugging your CPAP machine and allowing it to cool down. If you continue to have this error message, then it will need to come in for service.

Error 005

The voltage going to the blower motor is high. It could be caused by the power supply, blower motor, or main PC board. This will need to come in for a free evaluation to determine the exact cause and corrective measure.

Error 006

This refers to a motor stall issue with the software. You will need either the blower motor or main PC board replaced.

Error 007

Error 007, not to be confused with James Bond, is a blower motor fault. This will need the blower motor replaced.

Error 008

Another blower motor related error. This will need the blower motor replaced.

Error 009

This is related to the main PC board, which will need to be replaced.

Error 010

The flow sensor is stuck. The flow sensor is attached to the main PC board, requiring the whole board to be replaced.

Error 011

The flow sensor is stuck. The flow sensor is attached to the main PC board, requiring the whole board to be replaced.

Error 012

The flow sensor is not relaying information to the board. The flow sensor is attached to the main PC board, requiring the whole board to be replaced.

Error 013

The pressure sensor is not reading properly. This can be caused by the device being out of calibration, the sensor becoming dislodged from its seal, or being faulty. If calibration doesn’t correct this problem, then the main PC board will need to be replaced. This will need to be sent to a ResMed Authorized Repair Center to be serviced.

Error 017

This is a software data issue. The main PC board will need to be replaced.

Error 018

This is a calibration data error. This is caused by the device being out of calibration. If calibration doesn’t correct this problem, then the main PC board will need to be replaced.

Error 019

This error code is not very helpful. It is a non-specified error that will need either the blower motor or main PC board replaced.

Error 020

The flow sensor is faulty. This requires the main PC board to be replaced.

pricey but thats probably just because everything to do with these machines is expensive but they repaired it quickly, shipping to and fro was easy and they communicated clearly and often with status updates.

Robert H.

Unbelievable customer service! Had my unit serviced quickly and efficiently. Did not try to oversell repairs. Great experience!

Malachy M.

I would give them a six if available. Outstanding, honest, quick service. Everything explained ahead of time, everything tested professionaly. Mail in & return was easy & fast. I wouldn't go anywhere else for repairs.

Yvonne A.

Bob at altraservice is super good at repairing my Res Med machine and in answering my questions quickly. I highly recommend Altra Service Professionals

ERNEST R. A.

I received my CPAP machine back very quickly. I highly recommend this company for anyone that needs repair on their CPAP machine. They are very professional!

ArthurG L.

All around great service from initial inquiry to receiving repaired ResMed CPAP. The online site is easy to follow and i was able to send the unit quickly. I received a very thorough diagnosis before repairs were made and payment followed. The CPAP was properly packaged and arrived promptly. Thank you!

David S.

until I know better; fast and honest. I wish that other online businesses could be as honest as this place. 5 plus stars from us. I counted on them and they came through.

Jeremy M.

Whole experience is great!!!
My cpap was in need of a new motor, probably for a while. Now it runs good!

Hans H.

I couldn’t be happier with the service that I got from Altra Service Professionals. They repaired my CPAP Res Med S10 and returned it in a timely fashion. The unit looks and operates like it was new.

Henry G.

I was especially impressed with the timely, detailed and ongoing communication at every step of shipping, work and cost involved from start to finish.

Prompt, Reliable, Proficient! Goes beyond the service manual and You Tube, to complete satisfactory set up. Pleasant, professional, experienced. $ less than local repairs in Seattle area (but then most other places are). quoted cost accurate after inspection, no add on $ bloating, and shipping included.

Outstanding customer service! Bob was excellent and explained the work that would need to be done on my CPAP. Excellent communication throughout the process. I had a good experience. Would send my CPAP there again if needed.

Mark O.

Best repair experience ever. The entire airsense 11 repair took approximately 2 weeks. I live in California. Altra is in Florida. Not to bad. Altra was very informative with the repair information.They informed me my machine was still under warranty, so the repair cost nothing. My machine was making a squeaky noise. I used my machine the day I received it. No noise. Quiet as a church mouse. I would highly recommend ASP for your cpap machine repair. Thank you Altra.

David B.

Very easy to work with. Estimate was exactly what I paid for. Better than buying unknown used machine. Warrenty for repair is very nice. Used first 2 days. Feels like a whole new machine. Thank you . Full turnaround was 11 days including 2 weekends for shipping. Very fair. My machine was used since 2015. I put one motor in it. I do not recommend buying cheap motor. Lasted almost 2 yrs. Not as quiet or accurate as factory.

Mike L.

Professional service with every step! From the notification of receipt of my unit through the quick estimate and repair - they have an efficient, effective repair service! My Airsense 10 is running like new now. They also run factory diagnostics and provide you with the report. Highly recommended.

Kent H.

Was in the market to replace/upgrade my backup bipap and was delighted to find Altra. They were able to diagnose and repair my most recently failed unit. I got it back quickly, they ran a battery of tests to ascertain serviceability. Now I have a great backup unit, and plan to use it for traveling so I won't have to disassemble and pack my primary equipment every time I leave town for a few days.
Can't say enough about how easy the process was. Highly recommend. (Don't think I said anything about how reasonably priced they are.)

Enrique N.

Bob provided e exceptional service. He was fast and efficient. Il my friend and I brought two machines and were able to pick them up in a couple of hours. He only use oem parts an supplies. Bob provided additional information on how to maintain the machines and things to look for to assure extended performance.

John M.

Very helpful. I needed an OEM part for my resmed airsense 11 and they had it in stock and shipped it out very promptly. I highly recommend this business

Richard P.

The Amazon of CPAP repair.
I originally replaced my own motor with an Amazon knockoff. It was louder and didn’t provide consistent pressure. Not only did the folks at Alta Service replace with the correct motor they notice water spots, from me, (and that I put the old motor back in incorrectly) because I cleaned the motor housing in the sink. ;), they do a full check and provide a full list of battery of Tests they have done as well as the part # and lot# of the motor.
Lastly they make it so easy to ship to them. You just have to print out the label and put it on the box and drop it off. Once they get it in they evaluate the CPAP and email what it will cost to fix it. You approve it and then pay 💰. They quickly fix it, test it and sanitize it and return it. Awesome job.

Marcos Rodrigues J.

My ResMed 11 device was making a horrible noise. You made it like new—thank you so much! 😊

Richard H.

Excellent Customer Service
If I ever need them in the future they have my trust.

Ken G.

Very friendly, professional, highly competent, and extremely reasonably priced (compared to replacement prices) firm to work with. Also, amazingly quick turnaround times and, easy to ship products to (they provide pre-paid UPS shipping labels), and their return boxes are perfect if you are sending a second CPAP machine for repair.
Ken Green

David G.

The service was outstanding. The ongoing communication was very good. The shipping was safe, but slow. My Resmed Mini was not repairable, so they sent me a new machine.

KEITHA B.

Very professional, experienced and prompt with repairs. I was without my Resmed Airsense 11 a few short days only. Staff communicated every step with me so I knew the repair status. Competitive pricing, slightly less than others.

David W.

Fast service, good prices.

Brian K

Fast quality service on my cpap. This is the second time using them.

Mike I

Just got off the phone with a truly helpful and honest person at Altra. My ResMed absorbed skunk odor (long story!) and Altra was very helpful and honest that it would require significant work and would cost as much as a new machine. Genuine honesty and useful information - when I do need repairs, I know who I'm calling!

Amy T

Fast, friendly and my machine is working great! Highly recommend

Laura

Absolutely wonderful service. Just received my Caire Eclipse 5 from being serviced and repaired. The entire process was so simple and easy. Great price also.
The turn around time was very quick. I would recommend this company 100%.

Jim F.

Just received back my Resmed AirCurve 10 ASV. Thank you very much for your repair, quick turn around, and courteous handling of my problem. I have another ASV machine that needs work. I will gladly send it to you. Thanks again! Jim F.

leranzo C.

Appreciate your servicing the C-Pap. Great job. I have a second old one that I'dlike you to try repairing too.
Thanks

Michael B.

Great service and workmanship! I've had two Resmed Airsense 10 CPAPs repaired this month. The first was to repair a newer CPAP with a noisy, failing blower motor. Following a great experience, an older model was sent due to a screen message reporting the motor had reached its EOL. The process from initial request for service to the return of each CPAP was a breeze (pun intended). Now I have two fully functioning, quiet devices, one of which will serve as a backup. Thanks ASP!

Charles S.

They did an excellent job on my resmed airsense 10. The machine looks and runs like its brand new!
Big Thanks Laurie and crew!

Frank Monte C.

Excellent communication and service! My Airsense 10 now works as it should. I believe it has been rebuilt to better than new. It is absoluteley silent! Thanks to everyone !

This post will take longer than the repair cycle.

Great service. Sent my Bipap on Thursday and had it back by Tuesday. Had a hiccup with the payment service, but
Bob took care of it over the phone.

Hope I don't have to talk to Bob again. But if I do, it's cool.

Doug R.

Great customer service! Communication, repair work, turnaround time.

Brian L.

I just got my Airsense 11 back today. I totally ruined my unit trying to wash it with running water. This thing looks and operates like brand new. It wasn’t necessarily cheap, but well worth it. Highly recommend!!!

Phil F.

I was told my CPAP machine was out of warranty by my supplier, so instead of buying a new one I brought my machine to Altra Service. The next day, Bob called me and said it was repaired, needing a new blower motor (which I guessed it was). The repair cost for a new motor was ZERO! Bob informed me that the machine still had a month left on the Resmed Warranty. I couldn't have asked for a better service experience. Do not hesitate to send your machine to them for repair. Their level of integrity and honesty is top notch.

John Potts C.

I had a Philips Respironics SimplyGo Oxygen Concentrator that was used every night for over 2 years. My wife traveled on the planes with it and it sat by the bed and was used at night. It is very quiet compared to the big machines and will produce up to 3 ml continuous Oxygen, even on battery. It started going into an alarm state, and for a month or so we could silence the alarm. Then it would alarm within 5 min after silencing it. I contacted Altra Service Professionals and they suggested I send it to them for a regular service as the alarm means the purity of the oxygen is degraded. They even sent me a shipping label to send the machine to them. Turns out it just needed some filters cleaned, and they did a full diagonistic test on it and shipped it back to me. This company is Great, and the staff is knowlegable, friendly and professional. I highly recommend you contact them for any Oxygen needs or equipment repairs. They are the trusted pro's. Thank You Altra for great service, you have earned 5 Stars for Sure.

Bud S.

Easy to contact. Specific instructions for shipping. Excellent communication as to what needs repair and price to repair so YOU determine whether you want to proceed or not. When repaired an invoice will be sent, payment completed, and shipment will be made. If need be, I would repeat these services again.

Victor C.

I am very happy with my cpap machine repair. I was able to drop my machine off since I don’t live very far and my machine was ready the same day. Thank you!!

Malena C.

Fast and friendly service! I'm not great with computer skills. I called the company and they helped me right away. No fuss, no muss.They didn't think twice about it. The got everything sorted out for me! Great company! I would highly recommend them!😍

Kathrin O.

THANK YOU for the fantastic service I got recently! Honestly, the whole experience from start to finish was incredibly smooth and way better than I expected.

A huge shout-out especially to Bob! He was an absolute star. His communication was spot-on – always clear, super proactive, and he kept me totally in the loop every step of the way. What could've been a bit confusing turned into a total breeze, all thanks to him making sure I knew exactly what was happening.

Seriously, your customer service is next level. The way your team handled everything with such transparency and directness really made me feel confident and at ease. It's rare to find that kind of genuine care, and it definitely made this one of the best interactions I've had.

So, yeah, I'm absolutely thrilled with both the awesome product/service I received and how well I was looked after throughout the whole process. You can bet I'll be coming back to you for anything I need down the line, and I'll be enthusiastically recommending you to everyone I know!

Winn M.

i had a little trouble hooking up the power cord. other than that everything works smoothly. i have to be carefull when filling the tank for water. all works fine and i get better rest. Mythroat and lungs do not hurt. I have moisture in the system. thanks for the fix.they are usually quick to answere the telephone to help.

Joel O

Our Simply flow concentrator was alarming. Alta was able to fix and send back our machine in timely fashion. Great, upfront personal service. No surprises!

Patrick W.

Fast repair, great service. Bob DeChello was terrific.

William D.

Great service all around. When my CPAP machine stopped working, my local medical supply store told me it was unfixable, and I would have to buy brand new. I connected with Altra Services online instead. They diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. Good streamlined shipping process, ongoing communication and a fair price. I would definitely recommend Altra.

Erik L.

From the website, to shipments to communications, a first rate experience, I would recommend them to anyone!

She was able to fix the problem I was having.Thank you very much...
