I didn’t see a link to the manual on this guide. It would be helpful as would the part number for the blower. Thanks!

2. How to reset the blower hours counter so the “blower motor useful life” error goes away.

I just completed this repair with a new blower motor from www.advanscpap.com and was very easy. They actually sent the complete lower housing with the blower motor which makes install simpler. Didn’t need the last two steps of this tutorial. Also, a slight correction to this tutorial; the driver needed was a T10 and not a T3.
