Cracking and poping noise: Anyone else have this problem?

I have this model and for me it does do a crack and a popple (or pop & crackle) every now and again. i always assumed it was from the heat inside it's chamber expanding the plastic slighty. No idea though....just make sure it's well ventilated.

Hello Christine,It sounds like you have something that is cracked or damaged. I would call Amazon and request a replacement. I hope this helps.Dwight

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

Mine cracked on installation. They're kind of known for that. Just contact them and they should be able to get you a refund or replacement like they did for me.

If it makes a clacking noise, its because the plastic posts that hold the motor down have cracked. Mine failed and I tore it apart to find out why. Its poorly engineered and won't last more than a year or so through normal daily use. I took a hot glue gun and fixed mine but its poor engineering and design on the manufacturer's part.

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

I have that same question...mine seems to do the same thing a couple of times a day. The pops are loud enough to make you jump if not expecting them!

Some times the crackling noise just means it needs to be cleaned. However, I did have a different crackling noise start on mine a little while back, and when I took it in for service, they had to replace some kind of electrical box inside the unit. It was covered under the warranty, so it didn't cost anything, but it was a fire hazard. So if cleaning the unit doesn't stop the crackling, don't wait--go ahead and take it in for service.

I own a Samsung HTL56 DLP model and I'm having problems with noises coming from the TV. It sounds like cracking and poping and it happens when it's on but it's really bad when it's turned off. It sounds like its going to explode. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what may cause this? It's only 2 years old. Thanks

Does the TV make a clicking sound also? You may want to look in the back first and see if there are any capacitors with cracked tops. If so, this will likely work.

The popping noise is likely the liquids bubbling and burning on the burner at the base of the unit. You can purchase another clay pot directly from the manufacturer. I've had mine for many years. It's essential to follow the directions on how to care for the pot. I never use dish soap and I always wait for the pot to cool and only use warm water and a plastic scraper to remove stuck-on food. When the pot is hot I am careful never to bump it. It requires a great deal of care, but the benefit of having a natural product is worth it for me.

Be careful - mine started making clicking sounds at the same location one night and promptly crashed an hour later, so I'm guessing it was the hard drive. I managed to reboot and reinstall using the "ghost" behind the preinstalled partition, and it functioned just fine for the next couple months until today, when I started hearing squeaky noises from the same area. I promptly shut it down and haven't opened it back up yet, but a quick search of the Asus forums also suggests hard drive issues. I've had this netbook for about 15 months, so I'm a little disappointed but not surprised I'm running into problems. You should definitely back up all your files (good practice in general anyway)!

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

Yes. The crackling/popping noise that was only occurring after the bulb was turned off, now happens while on also.

Wracking problem? I have not had a cracking problem and I have used this popcorn popper two or three times a week since I got it in December. Nothing is cracked.

Mine broke and I contacted Cuisanart and they replaced it but now the second one broke too. I do the same thing and put a heavy can on top when popping. Definitely a flaw in the design!
