a a pearson wrote in with this question: "I have a question, when I use my humidifier, it sounds like a car backfirering b4 I put it on and spits at me all night long. I turn over and I jump up cuz I feel like im drowning. I have it set on 1. If i turn it up it gets worse. If I dont use it I wake up all stuffef up and cant breath. Is it me or my machine. Its been looked at but like a kid never does it when you take it in. It also stops working at times. Then starts up again. Took it in and blowws fine. When I call they must say its her again. lol"

you must have a dry solder connection
they are the worse to diagnose
I would take it to the DME and tell them you want another one.
Thank you, I have learned more on this site than from the dr or sleep lab.
Try not to over fill the reservoir and maybe fill to about 1cm under the measured water line. Also place the nPAP closer to the floor. If this does not work call the DME and have them come and trade it out.
with a dry solder joint the electrical connection is still made
when you move your machine you disturb the joint and maybe it is making a full conection showing no fault, but the fault will always be there and it may be intermitant

you need to change the unit

or they need to find the dry solder joint, since you are convered in water i would hazard a guess that the element needs to be resoldered
What brand and model??
