Has anyone else purchased the Ionic steam setter (one with two options) and hear a clicking noise on the ion setting? Wondering if that was normal

Yes, my wife just purchased this steam hairsetter and it also has the clicking sound when on the ion setting.

Mine makes a clicking noise too. I wouldn't mind, but the clicking noise is quite loud compared to the machine running on the "Low" setting. I haven't tried this yet, but maybe it only clicks in "Auto" mode? I didn't notice it for the first few days when I had it running on High all the time.

We have used this unit for month, it always work well. There are 2 control switches. One is the power on or off. One is a round one, this one will control the "steam". I think you can try firstly on the power switch see if you did turn the unit on after you plug in. Secondly, if you did turn on the power, try turn this round switch to left side all the way, and then turn on right side to adjust the steam. Good luck!

My charger makes a similar clicking sound in the float mode, which appears to be its normal cycling process. It's holding my batteries at 13.3 volts which is near ideal and is apparently not over-charging.

Yes, we hear the steam generator going each time you put the iron down to press---that is what saves on the water, since it is not generating steam until you press. I hope you can get over that annoying sound and learn to love the iron (we have two!)

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

Yeah it is, that's the reason I got it, I use it with steam all the time. Might be a bit stiff untill you us just the sesitivy settings, works great after.

if no steam comes out...regardless of whether or not it makes a sound....it's defective. Call amazon customer service and have them send you a return label and a new item.

The ticking noises on the features that I stated previously was due to the timer but I have notice different sounds for different settings. Also, I do recall using toaster setting once and I heard nothing out of the ordinary, only the timer ticking noise.

Mine does not click unless it is turning off or on. It's not silent when running but it's more of a soft whirring sound.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

I just got mine a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times. I do see and hear the steam when using it, it sounds like something might be wrong with yours.

I noticed that too! Just received mine today from Amazon, and the pitch control is MISSING. Just a blank there. The pics on ION's website and Amazon do clearly show it. Is this a mistake?

Hi, Haven't had ours for long enough to have any problems. However, knowing what little I know about electrical heating elements, if it's making noise that's probably not a good sign. Would take the time to send it in either for repair or replacement. These aren't complicated devices, but the potential for fire is always lurking the background. Don't want to overkill, but wouldn't take any chances... Jay Miller

The only difference to me is the ionic steamer seems to have a pulsating sound and the steamer has none. Both works the same to me.

I'm not an expert when it comes to electric but when the thermostat goes on and off to achieve the temp setting the baseboards will sometime make a clicking sound. This is normal (I beleive) due to the metals expanding and contracting. Hope this helps you.

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.
