Grandaughter messing with machine

Post by JPKuff » Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:00 pm

My one year old grandaughter was messing around with my DreamStation CPAC machine yesterday and now there is no air coming out of the machine. What should I look for to try to reset the machine.

And hose connection places for tiny misalignments...
You could also fill hoses with water, find leaks and duct tape them (if you have cats, you learn this early).

Presumably, the one year old didn't chew a gigantic gaping hole in the hose. :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

There is nothing a one year old daughter could do to the machine to stop it blowing just check it’s plugged in correctly

Maybe she stuffed her binky up the hose.

If she moved it around is there anyway for water to get into it?
