Safe to soak AirSense 10's electric motor in isopropyl alcohol?
"Alcohol is not necessarily safe for any electric motor." Although he said "risky", Adventures with CPAP sopped an electric motor in propan-2-ol. Then he ran the motor for an hour successfully. But is this safe to dunk?

I wouldn't do it. The alcohol might strip away the motor lubricant.
