Yes it's been washed. The filter can only be washed so many times before it fails. It used to be like every 3-4 months and after each time it's get shorter. Lately it needed to be washed every week and it would be fine for about a few days.

Now it only works for a few minutes before it starts pulsating and the pipe icon starts flashing. That means there's a blockage in the pipe and air flow is restricted. But there is no blockage so the only other variable is the filter. The cloth area on the filter used to have a spongy feel to it but now it's hard like cardboard after it dries. I think that might be causing the air flow issue.

So I will replace the filter first and see if that helps. If not I still have 4 month warranty left and will use that last.
