My pureguardian H1000 is making a loud noise when I turn it on. Sounds like a loud fan. How can I fix this? Is something wrong with the motor?

That is unusual and indicates that something is amiss. If this is new, I would exchange it. Otherwise, I would contact the company directly: www.guardiantechnologies.com and use the customer service button - or call 866-603-5900.

I used mine only a couple of times before it stopped working. I returned it and bought a different brand.

It's the death rattle. Prepare for a burial. Mine only worked for a month before it started making that sound. It died soon after. Good luck.

I had the same noise with mine. Couldn't figure out why. It stopped when I upgraded to the Nest Thermostat.

when plugged mine in, the bottom fan should start up automatcally. it doesnt have a turn off or on, just plug it in or unplug. i would return it asap. :-)

Hey...Sometimes my motor sound louder than the water flowing. Usually, its a soft hum. Sometimes it will start off loud, then get soft as the water starts to flow. If you are concerned that you may have a bad motor, maybe you should try to get a replacement unit. Otherwise, make sure you have a full water level. If the water level is low, you will hear the pump churning more.

Does you fan work at all? Because if not then it is a fuse or the motor itself. This needs to be replaced when the fan only works on High and no other speeds. Typically, at least from my past experiences.

Send it back. Had one that did the same thing , it was a burned out motor . Sounds like you still hxve a warranty.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

I havent installed it yet. My existing was sounded like the bearings were going out so I got one ordered, but it quieted back down. I would make sure that the drain on the bottom is clear so your not getting condensate in the bottom of the fan. If it were a high pitch noise, I would say it is a bearing, but low pitch noises are normally imballance - which could be caused by things like a little rub on a blade, blade manufaturing defect, condensate in the bottom, pluggage on the inlet or outlet, or a slight missalignment. Hope this helps and good luck. Sorry for the late response. I thought this was just junk email from amazon. I havent installed it yet.

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

I have not had that occur. I wish I could tell you more about what is causing that noise. It might have done so, but I had mine installed by a professional and I was not there for the testing. I have not had a power failure so it has not had to kick in either, so I haven't heard it in operation.

Hi, Our installer put a plug on the power cord instead of wiring it into the system. I added an extension cord with a power switch that I plug the Broan into. It sits in the cabinet over the Broan. I can just reach it to toggle it- then I have do some button pushing because the Broan comes up in a default mode that turns on the lights. But the noise of the fan is GONE. Good luck. Great exhaust fan and the lights are the best, but a little hard to live with. Sheila D.

Well, there is a certain element of noise as the motor works to turn the fan, but it's a white noise, a quiet noise if you will. There are certainly no ticking or whizzing or whining noises. I put it on and forget it's going. I've been quite happy with mine.

Probably not what you are asking about however, I had a fan problem with mine but not right away. After 5 days of ownership, I carried around my N120 and the following day the fan was making a rattling noise. The fan blade was obviously hitting something (similar to a stick hitting bicycle spokes). It appears there was something lose that decided to interfere with the fan blades. It would go away once it is powered down, it would also change volume if you move the computer around. Otherwise, the fan is quiet and normal, no vibration.

I do NOT know why they requested I answer this question for you. I however have not had any motor trouble. Mine every once in a while will vibrate way to loud. But I don't run mine 247. I keep it off most days. It's on to allow the cat's or the kids that are over here to have a little fun & watch it but other than that I don't keep it on 247 it makes more noise than I prefer. I hope you are able to get your motor fixed.

That doesn't sound good, it sounds like a part is loose in the motor, I would personally return it. I bought 2 and they hummed and purred, there was no grinding noise at all. Hope this helps.
