I've had my vent hood for about 3-4 months. This morning it started making rapid-fire clicking noises (nothing turned on). Anyone had this problem?

We have been using this hood since 5-13. No problems. I don't think it is electrical but turn off the breaker & see if it stops. Remove the filters & look in the exhaust. Use a flash light. Start & stop the fan. Unfortunately I have no further ideas. Hope you find it. Let us know.

I have two units; one for heat and one for the AC. Only the one for the AC clicks on and off. The manufacturer offered to replace it, but then said that 50% of them make that noise. Of course, the AC hasn't been on in months (I live in PA), but I actually think that either it stopped the clicking, or I got used to it and totally ignored it. I actually had two Honeywells for years that were totally quite, but they became inaccurate and shut the heat and AC on and off, and that noise was louder than the clicking. Ya can't always get what you want.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly! I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before. If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

Hi Sue, I don't hear any clicking noises while its cycling cold/hot/cold. The unit is made of a few different kinds of metals and they probably contract and expand at different rates. The clicking might be the different parts subtly moving aginst each other, or the fry pan could just be haunted.

i just installed it yesterday and i do get a slight whistling noise. afe called me back and said to open up the crank case line a little more which is the cause of it, so i'll post back if that ends up resolving it. it's a shame though that customers have to do this to make an unnecessary noise go away.

There is a relay arm in the thermostat that makes a loud click when thermostat is switching on or off. It may be that those reporting no noise have had the thermostat housing sound-insulated.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

Not sure what you mean by a vent fan but it does not vent like a range hood. It does however apparently draw air in through the rear and exhaust it out the front. There's a grille area in the front below the door opening about 1" high and extends from left to right across the front of the unit. Air is pushed out there. I read somewhere in previous GE units the air was vented in the rear and may have overheated the unit or at least shortened the life of the mechanical components especially if it was housed in an enclosed space. This unit is about 1 " or so higher than the units it replaced.

My Robertshaw RS6110 thermostat and have never heard any clicking sounds...maybe you should have an electrician check it out.

Dont have that problem, but having installed it myself i can tell you on top of the unit is a section where air can vent thru from the coil, if anything falls in there or its not clean, every time you heat up the coil and anything thats fallin in there can heat up and of course smell, hmmmmm, take a flashlight and look in there or perhaps take the cover off and take a look, other than that it may be a venting problem thru to the outside, the pipe is double, one inside the other, one is for venting the other for fresh air intake, hope this helps, Mike

haven't noticed issue with vent or heat but as others have said, the timer knob is annoyingly tough to change once it's set. you basically need a rubber grip device to turn it.

Our motor is very loud for about 5 minutes and then we can hit the unit and it goes back to it's normal quiet state. I think the motor is about to burn out, but hitting it seems to work for now. We were out of warranty when it began, so I never pursued a fix.

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.

I had the same issue a few weeks after using it. With mine, it was a small gap between the arm and the wheel on the axle in back. I tied a small piece of string around the gap on the axle, sort of a washer, and it stopped the clicking sound.

I have not heard any clicking sounds when turning the knobs and have not heard/seen a timer. Maybe it is in a newer version. Good luck!
