My Resmed S9 with about 17,000 hours on it died last night, about 2 hours into the night. Just died. The power button was blinking, and there was a blue blinking light from the humidifier chamber as well.
I haven't tried to troubleshoot it, just switched over to one of my backups. Any ideas or thoughts?
BTW, it's privately purchased, so don't tell me to return it to my DME...
also, I didn't die, just woke up when the air stopped. (resmed airfit p10 mask)

Re: Resmed S9 Sudden death!
The expected life of a CPAP machine is 15,000 hrs (5 yrs) maybe time to get a new one I would not expend any effort/cost on this one as it’s done it’s duty.remstarcpap wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 10:28 pmMy Resmed S9 with about 17,000 hours on it died last night, about 2 hours into the night.

Re: Resmed S9 Sudden death!
It does sound like it's time for a new machine!
However, check that all the seals are good, that the filters are clean, that the electric socket in question is good, and that all cords and hoses are connected properly.

Re: Resmed S9 Sudden death!
17,000 is almost as many hours as I have on mine. (Still working "fine")
I am already working on a replacement--same model.
No machine runs indefinitely.
You got your money's worth.
Let it go.
