Dreamstation Service Required Codes

[Shaquita]

Ihave a Dreamstation auto bipap system. It started making a clicking sound 2 nights ago and is keeping my girlfriend awake. Sounds like the motor bearing is on the way out. What would it cost to repair the system and what time frame will it take. I (both of us) can't sleep without my system.

I have the Philips respironics dreamstation. Auto cpap. I woke this morning to discover the blower is going (loud ,) but no air going to the mask. Wondering what that could be. Everything is attached etc and how would I repair it

Hello, Most likely the the Philips Respironics CPAP machine is loud and not blowing out any air pressure is because the motor has a broken flow connection. This can happen if the machine experienced some kind of sudden impact. Please complete our inquiry form in the CPAP repair navigation tab above and we can begin the process to repair your CPAP. Thank you.

The screen on my CPAP states the heater plate is not working and will be disabled. I use an airsense made by resmed. The machine still pumps air, but my mouth is drier than before. Is this something that can be repaired or serviced? I can't afford to by a new CPAP machine right now.

Hello, Your ResMed Airsense 10 CPAP can be repaired. There are two potential problems that can be causing the error on the display. Most likely, the heater plate has water damage will need replacement. The other issue can be caused by a corrupt main control board. We will not know exactly what the issue is until the unit is examined. Please check your email. Thank you.

Travel CPAP machine like the ResMed AirMini are loud compared to home units. This is due to less sound insulation and them having smaller motors. The smaller motors have to work harder in order to keep up the proper air flow and volume. The AirMini has a heat moisture exchanger near the mask that creates lots of turbulence sounds as you breathe in and out. This is something you need to be aware of before purchase. Please see the video we created to help demonstrate the travel cpap noise and sound comparisons. =BZI2cy3MI4s

When I wake up in the morning there are small bits of black greenish colored material in the humidifier chamber. My machine is only 1 year old and I am worried about breathing it in. What do you think it can be and why is it happening?

Those bits may be foam insulation that has deteriorated inside the cpap machine. Typically caused by cleaning devices that uses ozone to disinfect the unit. Unfortunately, the ozone breaks down the insulation and rubber seals inside the unit over time. The foam will be sucked into the motor and damage it.

I found this issue due to a kink/delamination in the supply hose. I now position the hose so that the soft material in it doesn't collapse on itself. A new hose would probably solve the problem, but I'm big on spending Medicare money as if it were my own.

My CPAP machine functions beautifully on some nights, but on some nights when I start the machine it does not provide enough pressure and I feel suffocated. The company rep has done the control settings and I do not touch them. So I cannot understand why it seems to malfunction even when nothing has changed. I have bought a new mask about a year ago.

Primary machine recently started making "wheezing" sound when I exhale. Very annoying.I also have a much older RemStar Plus that has an error code E-35 that I'm interested in having operable again as a back-up.

This machine was supplied by the VA. It called for a servicing so when I took it in they just replaced with a newer model. I was told to throw this one in the trash even though it still worked. I have a cabin in a somewhat remote area where I go for 3 days every week. I had packed it there since I first had it. When I receiver the new one I have kept this one there. The electricity is from a utility, not a generator, so it is stable. I have the data card still in the machine.The machine won't start by pushing button. After several tries with the digital output cycling, the beeper continuously beeps. Then I have to unplug it and restart the cycle. If I put the mask on and breath deeply, it will start after about 6-10 tries. Then it works well all night, as long as I keep it running. If I don't then the starting problem is the same.Thanks

My philips dreamstation blower seems to function fine, but not getting any humidification and it is set at 5. Hot plate is not getting hot either. The hose is also set at 5. Possible I need a new heated hose. I also use a SoClean, hope that isn't interfering with the hose, although it does not heat without it being installed, which is why I think I need a new hose.Is it possible that something got turned off while traveling with the unit? Pretty sure the settings are the same. If humidification is set at 5 the heat should come on, right? Normally its at 2 or 3.I am pretty handy with electronics and used to doing my own repairs. Hate to shell out $200 for something I can fix myself. I saw the heat plate, looks like an easy change out.Any advice is appreciated.

Yes, it should get hot within 30 seconds if the setting is 5 on the display ( bottom right hand corner with 3 squiggly lines). The heating element in the humidifier is not replaceable on your unit unfortunately.

I have resmed s9 autoset. 4 years ago when I got it, the respiratory therapist broke off the right side selector knob. That always annoyed me, but now, I can't see the settings, my doctor retired and turned me over to another physician in the group, the group was purchased twice, and now my physician says she cannot find any records and has no idea how to generate a prescription. To make it worse the medical supplier relocated and I can't remember the name. If I could jut read the current settings I would be so glad. Can this knob be replaced?

1. Machine sometimes does not want to turn on or takes a a couple of seconds to get full power.2. When machine turn on the air flow is very high. I put on the mask and it does not let me exhale out the air. It pushes the air very fast that I am not able to exhale out. It all happened after I dropped it one time. This machine has never dysfunction before.

The main control board has integrated flow sensors on them and is typically what regulates airflow depending on the make and model. Older CPAP devices will have stand alone air flow sensors. If your unit is blowing out unusually high pressures after having an impact, the air flow sensor is most likely damaged. If your sensor is part of the main control board, the board will need to be changed out.

My machine is a Philips responics Remstar Pro C Flex+ System1. I purchased it in 2011 and it has performed quite well I guess until now. I'm in the process of getting another but have to jump through all the hoops and obstacles of new prescription etc. I have a maintenance background(not much for electronics) and I feel as if I can repair most anything that runs. I have taken the CPAP apart and thoroughly cleaned it and reassembled. I was a little surprised by the good condition it was in! OH I was getting the SERVICE REQUIRED signal on the display with the beep,beep and if I depressed the control knob the light would go out but continue the beeps. I've been without the machine 12 nights now and don't really want to spend a lot of money on it but it would be nice to have it in run condition as a spare and I would consider leaving it at my Daughter's to use when I travel there to see my GRANDSON(one and only grandchild). Could you impart to me a simple way to check it so I could tell if it is the PCA board, Power Supply, Fan Motor etc. Shipping to your place I believe would be a little cost prohibitive for me. Thank you and let me know if you can help me or not.

"Service required" error messages are displayed on Philips Respironics 50 / 60 series and older M-Series models only. This error message normally indicates there is a faulty component in your CPAP machine. An example of how to interpret this is like a check engine light flashing in your vehicle. The car will need to be scanned for codes. Those error codes will then need to be interpreted as to what components are faulty. This is how your CPAP errors are read as well - via codes downloaded using our testing system. With that said, your unit has two main components, the main PCA and motor. Normally it is either one or the other, but rarely both. There is no simple way to check on your side without the proper testing equipment.

I completely screwed up and added far too much water to my water chamber. My Phillips Respironics System One ran for a night w/ that issue in place, before I realized what I'd done. Now my display reads Service Required, and the blower won't work.

I have a Philips Respironics C pap REMstar Auto A-Flex REF 550P. Air flow is good when I inhale but the machine bogs down when I exhale.Motor then seems to labor. If I resrict air flow at end of hose motor labors & I can hear slow down. Does motor need to b replaced? Thanks.l

I have a REMstar Auto M Series Model #511M.It fell off the table onto the floor.Everything still works, except it always blows at 100%, never less. If it was a motorcycle I'd say the throttle was stuck on full.What might be the fault causing this?Thank you!

I have a 3 year plus Dreamstation and the day after I cleaned it with probably toooo much water, it only blows at a high level and displays the Service needed on the display. Can you give me an idea of what my costs will be? Prefer to NOT send it in if we/you already know your cost to repair will be too much with limited Social Security only income.Larry Tucker[email protected]201 307 8888 cell

After a few hours devices cycles off and on a few times trying to restart and then beeps steadily and service required shows on screen. Unplug and replug and it usually works again for a few hours but then same issue happens again. Has been steadily getting worse over past 2 months. Device has 16400 therapy hours in total so far.

I bought a new one in April of this year. I put this one in the closet. I got a new PT night job and I want to use it. I plugged it in and it wont start. It just shows a number "17147" in the electric window. Can you fix it?
