Resmed Error 101 Code

[Slinky]

Anyone know what this error code indicates?? Error 101.

It has appeared on my Resmed VPAP Auto's LCD screen.

Seems to be corrupted SD card

Thank you, Avi, but they are listed as REMstar error codes, not Resmed error codes or do they use the same error codes for all PAP devices? I can't imagine they do since the manufacturers don't seem to be in any way interested in sharing anything w/each other.

Discussion here about that error code. Reportedly software error but info came from DME so we have cause to suspect it. I am still looking.

found this where someone says there is no list of error codes available at above link. I have looked through 3 different provider manuals for S8 series machines and couldn't find any error code list. Does the machine still work?
I guess contact ResMed or DME???

(((hugs))) and bless you, Pugsy, for looking.

SuperSleeper on Apnea_Board has this to say:

There is no listing of what specific error codes mean, but it appears that it's a component failure. If any water got into the electrical parts of the machine, it could have shorted out, and if that's the case, you need that component replaced - no amount of button-pushing will solve the problem. There's really not much you can do, other than call your DME supplier who gave the machine to you. Trying to fix it yourself or opening up the CPAP housing might void the warranty. You're probably correct that restoring to factory settings will not clear the error message.

ResMed's machines come with a 2 year warranty, and all repairs are supposed to be handled through their vendors (the DME) or home health care provider who set you up with the machine. If they give you trouble, call the ResMed customer service line at: 800-424-0737.

Wish I could provide more help, but this looks like a problem that only a ResMed repair facility can fix. Only other thing you might want to try is to disconnect the humidifier and hose from the machine, take all filters out, unplug it, and let the CPAP machine dry out completely (maybe in front of a fan) for several hours, then start it up and see if the problem persists. Mostly likely, this will not solve the issue, however, but it might be worth a try.

I also see this on the web:

My S8 VPAP Auto started popping up w/an Error 101 on the LCD screen and when I e-mailed, then called Resmed about it they told me to take it back to my local provider to be sent in to Resmed for the internal software to be "mended". They said there would only be a $55 charge to do so.

Thank you, Avi.
