I just plugged in my filter to restart it and it's making a grinding sound. Anyone know what's up?

Don't really know, but water level may be low, or maybe gunk got into mechanism. Suggest you wash out and refill it. Make sure water is all the way up to the top. The noise should disappear.

No idea, first thing I would check is to see if I put the top on 180° from correct though as it's an easy mistake to make.

Make sure that when priming the filter, you need to fill it to the very top. Then turn the fill cap so it's snug. this should relieve the pressure, after about 3 minutes the buzzing/humming should stop. good luck

Mine only makes a quick, not too loud of a noise, right as it turns on... before it starts to grind. It only lasts a fraction of a second. I would be concerned if you have a continuing noise. I would exchange it, rather than worry every time you use it.

Call the company and ask for them to repair it. They will charge you money, but it's worth it, because it covers shipping and when you receive your unit back, they insert a new filter. So consider the price to fix it, the price of a new filter. Actually, you never know. They may not charge you to fix it....email/call and find out!

Make sure filter is installed correctly and is clean. Call Hoover customer service if that does not help. I have had no problems at all.

I had this happen too and couldn't figure out why it was doing it. I cleaned it really well and it started working like it should again. I'm not sure if that will solve whatever issue it was, but it works for now.

I did not shake mine so I cant tell if it makes noise. Previous answer sounds right. If in doubt, call the factory. I am very pleased with the filter. You might want to buy a brass fitting for the water connnection. I dont like the plastic connector. I had a brass fitting from my old filter that worked perfectly.

The answers to your concerns are really good, it might be a bad unit. Like they said, call support line, check the water level. If it buzzes all the time I'd want a new filter. Good Luck

Possibly filter needs changing or fan needs to be cleaned. You can check for solutions on youtube if you cannot find solution in owners manual, we were able to fix a problem we had starting it up this summer. But ours is working well now.

Hello. You just need to hold down the filter button until it resets. That should work!

Be sure your water level is to top of tank. I used 2 filters in mine for extra clean tank. I also opened top strainer 1/2 open. Mine is so quiet I have to check that it is running. If noise continues I would contact the company for a replacement.

make sure the intake is clear. mine gets algae and 'junk' in it and it need cleaning regularly.

I had a similar sounding issue recently and was able to get it back to normal by blowing into the top and bottom of the base and under the reservoir where it connects. I had to do it a few times but after I got some old grounds and such out of there, it started working fine again. Hope it helps.

No. Something may be wrong. Is the plastic it come with off completely? check inside. Make sure the filter is in correctly.

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

Check your rubber seal and make sure it fits properly. There should be no leaks, turned on or off. Maybe have a bad unit, or just a bad seal. Mine has worked fine, but I use mine for polishing and not for the main filter.

I had the same problem until I starting doing a slightly coarser grind - after that it has worked beautifully! (until I lost the filter holder that is)

Not sure because I did not have this problem with mine. However, you may take off the filter part at the faucet head to see if there is debris blocking the running of the water and making the whirring sound. Usually new faucet needs to be cleaned to get rid of those debris before installation. Good lick!
