I recently purchased this toaster. I notice that when the toaster is plugged in I hear a high pitch frequency humming noise. Is this normal?

Margo - I have owned this toaster for a while and have never heard any type of humming noise. It may or may not be a problem. It could be the elements reacting like some light bulbs do when turned on and will hum. I wouldn't think though that this is normal.

No, I don't think so. I cannot recommend this toaster because in less than a year mine was no longer working!

I just received this toaster from our wedding registry and YES my husband and I both hear a high pitched noise. I don't know if it is normal or not - came here to see if anyone else had the problem.

Not to my knowledge ,but the toaster is fine. Check your wall plug. Also if it keeps doing this take the toaster to an appliance store and plug it in there and see if they can help you.

I don't think so, my toaster has never made any noise when plugged in. You may want to have your outlet checked.

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

I have a slight buzz from mine's as well, really noticeable when the volume is on a lower lever (anything below 15). From what I have read, this is fairly normal since a lot of energy is used to heat the plasma. Also, since I'm only about 7 feet away from my set, that might be part of the reason why I notice it. Did the samsung tech support cost a lot to come out to install the insulating material?

it has a loud hum . I grounded the units directly to the Case of the Computer. It reduced the hum significantly. I replaced both units just last week because these are pretty much junk in my opinion.

I not totally sure, but I know if there is humming you have some electrical interference. The cables are possibly too close to the conduit in the walls or some other issue. I've had no problems with my setup, but when I turn my microwave on the sub hums. Not a big deal for me since it's not used much. So it's worth a try, if not return it.

I never had a smell or odor emitted from this toaster. Can it be your outlet that is causing the problem? If not, send it back as defective and request replacement or refund.

I am sorry, but I cannot help with this. I bought this toaster over as a gift for someone not in my household.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?

Mine had a bit of a smell the first time I used it. I just threw the first two pieces of toast away, and it has been fine since. If your toaster still smells after 2 or 3 times, there may be a problem with your toaster.

Never had a high pitched noise when plugged in. It makes a high pitched noise when bread pops just to alert you . I would not exchange for a different brand. This has been the BEST toaster we have ever owned.

No, never. We are very pleased with this transformer. It runs noise free. What I can tell you though is that the one we had before this one got fried, as someone hooked an appliance up to it that was exceeding the allowed maximum wattage. That one did make a loud humming noise before it blew. If you are certain that your wattage is a match, it might be defective. The only other thing I can think of is try setting it on the floor, that is where I keep mine. Somethimes transformers can make surfaces vibrate and cause a humming sound while running.

Yes - I had that exact problem, so it is clearly a defect. I called Cuisinart. My toaster was still under the three-year warranty, so they offered to have me ship it to them for repair. The cost for that would be about $30 - a $10 charge, plus the cost of shipping. HOWEVER, and I hesitate to include this here on Amazon, but... if you bring your toaster to Bed Bath & Beyond, they will either send it to Cuisinart for you (at no charge) or they will replace it. (They do carry the TOB-40 in stores.) Yes, for real. You do not need to have a receipt or have purchased the toaster there. I am not one to take advantage of a business, but they seem happy to attract loyal customers by taking care of issues like this. Of course, you can also see what Amazon can do for you.

Yes. It's a soft ticking sound, but you can hear it. The toaster always has a ticking sound but if you use the oven without the timer, there is no ticking sound (the heating elements do make a soft humming sound).

You know I had to go and check! However, I have an 828LM and no hum whatsoever. Have you unplugged (the replugged) the unit and tested it away from other equipment for this humming noise?

Never have heard anything , but hums or noises could be resistance... either from outlet or heater unit itself.... but noise shouldn't happen.... prob wanna get that checked

My power adapter hums when plugged in. Is that what you're hearing? I don't get any sounds from the flosser itself. It's happened since the first day that I owned it. I don't consider it to be a major issue. My solution is to just keep it unplugged when not in use.
