If you've had the machine longer than 5 yrs or so, it's probably time for a new one. Will you insurance pay for that?

I agree with Julie. It would probably cost more to fix it than to buy another machine. Lots of "previously owned" and lightly used ones on the market just about everywhere.
I don't recall ever seeing a list of "codes" for those ResMed machines, so I don't know what that one means.

Ian at Accurate repair told me the other day that they got their certification to repair ResMed machines.
Might give them a call and see if they know what that error code means.

Though I agree with the others...that machine is so old now that it is going to cost more to repair it than it is worth and one can buy a gently used machine for probably what it would cost to fix that one.
Might check secondwindcpap.com for gently used low hour machines or check some recent forum postings from members for gently used machines.

Thanks for that info. I'll file that away in my "grey matter".
