I think 20K is about the life of the blower, so it's time to swap it.

We typically see a Motor Life Exceeded warning at just under 22,000 hours. You can find the run-hours in the clinical menu near the bottom in the "About' section. Run-hours are not re settable except by a repair facility. Replacing the motor does not turn off the motor life exceeded warning, however the device should be good for thousands more hours of use.

I have never seen the warning message, so maybe I will see it soon since I am at 21,493.
My other question was Airsense 11 vs newer Airsense 10. Am si missing something by getting a newer Airsense 10?
Thank you
RE: Resmed 37028 Autosense Whines - SarcasticDave94 - 11-20-2023
You'll likely be just fine with the 10 series. It's been around, yes, but been reliable.
RE: Resmed 37028 Autosense Whines - Sleeprider - 11-20-2023
Not only are you not missing anything, I think the consensus is that the 10 is better. You can get the Airsense 10 Autoset card to cloud version from Supplier #1 on Black Friday special now at $499 (code BF23). There are some other good deals out there if you look, but limits on minimum advertised price means you get a better deal by calling.

Guys, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
I had the best sleep last night because I replaced the motor.
I bought the motor for $101 from that big supplier of everything. Ordered it Monday, got it yesterday and I used my soft electric screwdriver which has a set of small Allen and Torx bits. I don’t remember what size it was but it was an allen, not torx, and the same size throughout.
The rubber housing was dusty so I washed it with dawn soap, rinsed it well and dried it with a hair dryer. Everything was really easy. The only thing that went wrong is the four very thin wire that go into a tiny bracket that connects to the board. Well, I could not get that to stick and one of the wires came off. I gambled it. I was able to connect them but not how they shave been. I believe it is a connection to the modem and since that is irrelevant now, I finished putting the CPAP back together.
The pressure was stronger and since I didn’t change any settings, I guessed the new motor is more powerful compared to what the old one was pumping for the past few years. Super quiet. Probably quieter than the original. I slept 5 hours straight then a couple more. What a relief.
Very thankful for all your help and hopyou all had a great Thanksgiving.
Now I can wait until January to go see a new Dr to prescribe a new machine.
Thanks for the input on the machines. I will stick with the Airsense 10. I just don’t know what the latest versions of that model bring to the table.
Cheers

I am going to send it for repair.
Does Oscar pull all this info? I guess i'll just write some of the numbers down to make sure i get the same machine back. it would be backup once i get a new one.
Supplier 27 sent me a label already with a pre-validated estimate of $270. Crazy?
I am going to check supplier 28.
Going to suck it up and use my airmini until I get it back.
Appreciate your guidance.
OSCAR will track the change of *PAP machines by make/model/serial number, at the bottom of the "Statistic" page.
For the motor change and hours, you can make a note on the OSCAR "Daily" page, just above the "orange AHI banner", you will see a tab labeled "Notes".
I do not know of any way to search notes for an entry though, so for future reference you my want to write on the bottom/inside of the ResMed unit, the motor change date and hours.
Good to hear your success!
