Probably the thermostat contacts have become worn and a certain amount of arcing is happening when they close.

Replacement thermostat units used to be easy to change and were readily available for quality domestically manufactured oil filled radiators but these days it would probably be cheaper to buy an imported heater. You wouldn't lose by asking your local supplier and if they are still available check the internet price.

It would be wise to check the wiring and internal connections before junking it.

I have had a couple of different brands of column heaters and they have all made that clicking sound when turned off. Once the 'cooling down' time of the heater is finished..so do the 'clicks'.

yeah they do that, time for a good cleaning, if that fails, I'd replace with a ceramic heater... they are cheaper safer and cost less to operate.

Does the low oil light also makes buzzing noise?

The light does not buzz, but if the system wants to warn you, it will give a warning light and a buzzer. If it comes to both it is really time you should fill oil. When the oil is low, the parts in the motor are not lubricated enough and the motor can become seriously damaged. So don't start the engine, before you filled correct and enough oil.

Smart drive 085

the buzzing noise is the pump trying to work, but it cannot due to a blockage. unplug the washer and you can lean the washer backwards and remove the pump to unblock. the fill error is probably unrelated, and is an inlet valve issue.

Model# 596-63822200 Bottom Freezer Refrigerator. Makes loud noise around 15 seconds every 5 to 10 minutes. Temperature is warm in refregirator and freezer. Naomi

Hi,

As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong. If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then check out the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then…

Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...
