My MARPAC Dohm-DS Dual Speed Electro-Mechanical White Noise Machine worked for 3-4 nights and hasn't worked since. Is there any way to fix it?

Probably not. It sounds like it may be defective and needs to be returned (hopefully this is still an option). Before you do so, try plugging it in to another outlet, just to be sure!

I would send it back and get a replacement. I've had mine for over 7-8 years and no issues.

I don't know. Mine has worked for over 14 years. I would send it back to the manufacturer for replacement.

Suggest you return it for a replacement. I have had mine for over 10 years, use it every night, and it hasn't failed me. So it is a good product, definitely try to return it for another one.

I had the same problem with my white FM-15 that i bought here on amazon. I contacted amazon customer service and they referred me to culligan and they replaced the unit with no questions asked.

Mine was also a piece of sh-i, never worked but the time between when we purchased this machine to when we used it made it impossible to return. Return for your money back if you can.

Fortunately mine has been working fine since receiving it. my suggestion would be to send it back for an exchange or a refund.

Sorry to say, but I think you have a bad motor. I would return it if possible or call Proform to replace it especially if you recently purchased it.

Return it for a new unit. Mine started to only do MANUAL mode, and I called T-Fal and they confirmed they've been getting calls about this. I had just got mine, so I returned it for another one.. so far, everything is working fine again. I suggest buying from Bed Bath and Beyond since they will allow you to return past 60 days if you keep your receipt. Hope this helps!

What I noticed is that machine will not work more than half an hour if I use continually, as I shred only once in a month. It need a good couple of hour cooling time, may be something wrong with my machine.

I would try a new logic board. Besides the gears, the only other main part is the board. It has probably gone bad.

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

Did you re-start your DWS and/or your computer? I haven't had a single problem, but that doesn't mean nobody ever had one. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but if you haven't tried this, try this: unplug your LPD8, restart your computer, plug in the LPD8, launch your music software. Good luck!

What model did you get? I bought the model shown above and it does not make any sounds at all

What we figured out was the machine itself had lost it's charge (needed to be recharged) and as soon as we plugged it back in to the house electric to recharge the noise quit. Can be right piercing, can't it? That was the only thing we could find doing it. Hope that helps. Just set a day of the month to recharge it automatically......keeps it from squealing in the car when ya climb in or we keep it in the house as well....so making noise in the house as well. JWA

I had the same issue. The original power cord created a bug, so I used a power cable that came with one of my effects pedals and it worked. No noise at all

It's a problem with the machine. It would do that whenever mine went to sleep and started up again. I tried everything, and talked to everyone with no success. I returned it. I got the V5-552PG-x809 when it went down to $669 and it is incredible. Everything works as it should.

My DLP was making a loud beep also. I pulled out and checked the color wheel. It was not spinning freely as it should so I replaced it. However, it didn't effect the BEEP at all. It still does the beep once in a while. Usually when it's been on for a few hours. What I do when it starts to do that BEEPING is to turn the set off for about 3-5 minutes then turn it back on. That usually corrects the issue for another few hours for me.

We have made multiple attempts to contact the company directly (with no avail) regarding both questions. The volume on the machine just does randomly seem to almost turn itself off (so low, it might as well be). We experienced the exact same defect on several different units via exchanges to the company, although a select few customers seem to report no problem at all. As to improvements, we have noticed the product appearing and disappearing from various retailer sites...hopefully, it has been an effort to pull the item and find a solution. However, based on other reviews we've seen: No improvements have been made. Currently we are using the one-level-down model from this company and we do like it. It has far less features (fewer sounds/ tones, no clock) than the Version II, but as it actually works and we don't get startled awake all through the night with sound cutting out, it is the only one we would recommend at this time. Homedics could also stand to work on their customer service while they are at fixing the second model.

If you read the previous thread, I stated that "I" had an issue with the unit not responding. The way "I" got it to function was by connecting the USB after I had powered the PC up. As to the reason why; it works that way for me. As to the technical reason you would have to contact Tascam support and ask them. If you have the problem of it not working with your application, try what I indicated - I don't know the reason why I have to do it that way. In any case, it should not work that way unless there is specific instructions by the manufacture that state to do it that way . . . They did not indicate that.
