Plastic Casing Crackling with Slight Temp Changes: Has anyone had a similar experience?
1998019
Yes, I have the same exact issue and it's very annoying. It seems to me that it is the plastic casing. The popping starts about 10 minutes after I turn on the television and lasts about 20-30 minutes. It then stops and starts again when I turn it off. I wonder what we can do about it?? Seems like something that Samsung won't be able to fix.... Has anyone contacted Samsung?

No. We did not have that issue. Maybe it is overheating slightly, and off-gassing since it is new. I find that a lot with new plastic goods/furniture. If it lasts for more than a few days, I'd be concerned.

I don't really know. Mine makes no such noise. Could it be some solder from the welding of the tank? If there is something loose in the tank could it eventually make it's way through the air hose and cause damage? I don't know. Sounds to me like you should contact the company or return it for another unit.

Yeah, mine does as well... Doesn't effect it as far as I know, but I did notice that if you're soldering on the connections near it, the solder they used seems to boil or liquefy again

I never had that problem. You should probably contact the manufacturer for a new one.

I use mine almost daily and haven't encountered that problem, thank goodness. I would think you should contact Conoco.

Have not experienced your issues. No, DO NOT attempt a repair yourself. Please seek a qualified local appliance repair shop. It is normal for metal to "Make Sounds" when heated or cooled. If these "sounds" are new, different, unsafe, or not up to your standards, also consider replacement due to cost of estimated repairs.

Hello Kitcat, Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness! The VI-2500 does have a subtle whisping noise and sometimes you'll get what sounds like a crackling noise. Its not particularly loud but is some what noticeable. Most ionizers have the same type of sound. If its loud you may have a defective unit. Let us know if we can help. Thank you!

I purchased a Samsung 46 inch Smart TV and it also crackles and pops as it warms up or cools down after it is turned off. Very annoying. I have loosened all the screws in the back, re-tightened them all, even put wd-40 on them, loosened them again, etc. etc. hoping it would ease the problem. No such luck. They use a cheap plastic casing which expands and contracts and the TV warms up or cools down. A brand new TV that costs $1000.00 should not do this! While the picture is great, the cracking makes it to irritating to watch. This weekend the TV is going to be returned. I'm going to try another maker. Samsung, take note.

Yes, it definitely has a crinkling noise from the plastic part on the bottom. I returned mine... maybe it was defective?

Mine started doing the same thing. I plan to contact the manufacturer and either get a refund or replacement.

Mine is only a couple of weeks old and I hear it popping when cooling down. I use a gas stove and I also smell a weird smell when cooking. Anyone else?

yes mine did that for a short while then it didn't do it any more. It's perfect now! I'd say it was rattling for about the first 15 - 20 uses.

Not much crackling in mine either but dont really care - it works great. If I get real close I can here something like a crackle but the fan kinda overwelms it as we always have ours on high

No I have not had that problem. It sounds like a manufacturing problem. Hope you get it figured out.. Cheers!!

Never had this happen. My original finally just deteriorated after 12 years and I had to replace. Maybe wrap it in duct tape?
