I love these, but have to replace mine every 6 months to 1 yr. It starts making a horribly loud noise when turned on...anyone else experience this?

I purchased 2 that seem to last about a month before a belt snaps and the wheels lock. The original one was wonderful.

mine worked about 6 months and started not playing certain sounds, so i ended up getting a diffrent set. :)

Ours makes a ton of noise too. It is very annoying and even wakes our baby up. Did you just call customer service to get a replacement?

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

I've had no issues with mine. It's the 2nd one I've had. Other lasted 6 years. If you notice this - I would send it back and ask for a new one. I am sure they will exchange it. Hope this helps!

I bough mine December 2012 then after a while in 2015 I experience the same issue. At first, the volume slows down TO 0 automatic randomly and no one is controlling, have this annoying encounter 3 to 6 months I guess. Now its gone but appears another issue: it keeps turning ON/OFF random again on its own. Really BAD, I brought to the samsung service center but unable to find spare parts so no FIX. Its frustrating. I really hope that SAMSUNG can gives us link on how to resolve this.

I have to agree that this sounds like your lamp is gone. I'm expecting this to happen to my TV soon as well. I'm now into my third year and the lamp does have to be replaced periodically. Since you have sound but not picture, it doesn't sound like a source problem.

Is there anything in the home you can try shutting down? Sounds like it's caused by electrical noise, and could be something else causing it.Thankfully I guess my power's okay, as mine's never done that and I've had it a year.

We had ours nearly a year when they started to disfunction. Seems to be a wire in the jack not connecting anymore which fogs the sound.

Mine is still fine after almost a full year. I'd suggest you check the installation and if it still doesn't work well contact the manufacturer for a replacement unit.

I've had to replace mine in the past. Sometimes they just stop working. If it was within 1year of your purchase, they should send you a replacement at no charge.

I have had mine for several years now. My active speaker (amped) went out right before the warranty was up and they replaced it with a new pair and they haven't had a hiccup since. I don't use mine everyday but I do love these little speakers, great sound and good looks for my bedroom.

I have 2 units. One I bought about 20 yrs ago, the other in the past 6 months or so. Both vibrate (oscillate), Neither make a terrible loud noise. The older one is a little more quiet then the newer. Both are not annoying, but do make 'drumming' hum. I do not leave them plugged in, I empty the tank each time and dry it out. I also put a capful of mouthwash into it each time I use it. The new unit is equal to the old one, except maybe for build quality....it could be a perception thing. so far so good.

Mine have stopped working after 3 months. I just talked with Berkey and they are spec'd to work for 500 gal each. I am being told they should be replaced every 6 months. I would really like to know how anyone has kept there's going for years. I'm pretty frustrated as I thought I was making a long term investment.

I haven't had any problems with mine. Not sure on that one. Just glad they are cheap enough to replace if there is a problem. I would be more than willing to bet that it's not the plug. Maybe check with Amazon or try to contact the seller if possible. Wish I could be more help with this one.

I had that happen also after a few months but i put new ones in. I just love them so much i bought 6 sets. I think it might be because they are on even before you turn them on with the remote. I just don't put them on if i am not in the room because it is so easy to turn them on and off.

I haven't had this issue. My guess would be no. Mine is almost 3 months old and it works great, no noise.
