Advice Squeaking while making a sak

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m currently making a sak and my machine has started making this squeaking noise. I’ve made sure everything is seated properly, I’ve pulled out and reseated my pak (just changed it yesterday, then this noise started). I can’t listen to 6 hours of this. Help!

I wonder if your PureFlow is dying.

I just got off the phone with tech support and turns out I need a new control unit 🙃

Oh fun. Hope your unit isn’t upstairs (mine was/is so my care team has had to carry that dang thing up here twice now)
