Take it apart and wash everything.
I literally just finished replacing the motor on my ResMed S9. It has 8 allen head screws in total, and they were all the same size. I used an allen wrench that came with my 3D printer, it’s not marked but measures 2 mm across. It took me less than 10 minutes to get it apart. This guy has a pretty nice breakdown.
Everything except for the main board, SD card, and motor can be washed with dish soap in your sink.
I’ve taken apart a couple others and they were pretty simple too, so I willing to bet that you can find a tear down video on pretty much all of them out there.
Make sure to wash the water tank really well and wipe it’s inside down. Mini cpaps coat there water tanks with a bittering agent that stinks when you run out of water. So just be sure and never to let it run out of water, or turn off your water function.
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.
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.

I’m just gonna die.

To be fair, that will resolve all ailments…
That’s the spirit!
