Did that last week. Follow the teardown guide and cleaned it ALL with isopropal alcohol. Issue remains. I can't not use the water thing unfortunately because I wake up with lips cracked to the point of bleeding.
I'm just gonna die.
To be fair, that will resolve all ailments...
That sucks.
Is your cpap a unit like the resmed where the water tank can be removed and not used? The reason I ask is because I am curious if you can hook it up without the water tank and let it run for longer than 10 minutes without you wearing it and then check to see if you still smell the burnt plastic? That would at least let you narrow it down to whether it's a water tank issue or something in the head unit.
That's the spirit!
