Resmed Airsense 10 reversed airflow

Resmed Airsense 10 reversed airflow
Hi all.   I recently acquired a used Airsense 10 as a backup.    I tore the unit down and cleaned/disinfected everything with either soapy water or 91% rubbing alcohol.    When I put everything back together the airflow was reversed.     When I tested the unit, air was sucking into the nasal pillows and appeared to be blowing from the filter door.    The unit also displayed error message 10.    Can anyone help with a remedy to this issue? 
Thanks

My GUESS is that the power leads for the blower are reversed.

When you put the unit back together the motor was inserted backwards in the rubber housing.
Just flip it 180 degrees.  Don’t ask me how I know this.  Laugh-a-lot

When I put it back together, doesn't everything just plug back in one way?

This is interesting, I thought I put it back together the right way.    I will try and see what happens. Thx

The plugs go one way, but the blower motor can be inserted backwards.

Thank you all.    I flipped the motor and the unit is working perfectly.    I guess I should wear my glasses next time I assemble something.

I did the same thing, I blamed it on the wine.
