RE: Hot smell
Have you washed out your tubing? After about a week or two I sometimes start to pick up an odor, reminding me to wash it out. You can just slosh hot soapy water back and forth through it. That's what I did but now I use a hose brush.

Been there, done that. You are not the first!

Move the power brick away from the machine. Put the power brick on the floor. Per Resmed.

Look at threads from 2-3 weeks ago, and you’ll find more of the same with the A10A 4Her.

Separate issue...if the humidifier isn’t using much water? If you want the air coming into your nose to be moister, increase the humidity. If the machine is currently on auto for the humidifier, evidently it calibrates that you have a comfortable level of moisture in the air and won’t need a lot additional.
