Power button Airsense 10

[venomous duck]

My device wouldn't turn on last night. I took the machine apart and found the power button broke. I have been having to push it harder last few months, so it was no surprise. It looks like a spring popped out of the micro switch. Does anyone know a part number or specs for the micro switch or a replacement? If not I will dig out the calipers and measure the pins later. I assume it is momentary switch, not a positional O/I.

this old topic has a part number and links to more topics of power button replacements.

apparently it's a "Mouser B3F-3125"

There is a little flimsy support housing for the switch that will easily bend and allow the switch to drop. I would recommend that you first try pushing the switch and support back up to its normal position. This problem can easily happen when reattaching the CPAP cover. I know this to be a fact.

Awesome. thanks guys. I read that post and completely missed the part number being listed. I also saw it is a common trouble issue, surprised mine has made it 10 years before going bad.

I took it apart hoping to just bend it back but the button has lost the spring in it so that did no good. I took the plastic button cover out and tried jumping the contact. the unit powers on and off properly, but now my air is at full force all the time. I will look into that further.

Here's my new switch for mine. Like it?

That will work really well especially if it is the third switch.

Igor, throw the third switch

Not the third switch, Master.

Throw it!
