Buzzing clock radio

If the radio has an alarm function, it may have been set accidentally.

It´s so old that just use it until it dies. New solenoids can be found from various part-shops it´s quite common machine. Most likely it has problems with water level sensor, it doesent know when its totally empty after wash cycle. Parts maybe found on e-spares at UK.

it is your color wheel

Bryce.

My experiance with what you are talking about is sounding like the color wheel going bad. Same thing happened to mine and it was the color wheel. Right around 120.00 and is a easy do-it-yourself job.

sounds like the compressor is seized.

Turn off power to range first!!!

You'll have to remove the back of the panel in which the clock is installed to access the back of the clock. There will be two wires attached to the clock. Just pulling one of these wires off will stop the clock.

I would suggest, however, that you pull both wires off, put electrical tape on the ends of the connectors, and tuck them out of the way somewhere around the clock.

The noise and the vibration is coming from the winding rotor loose axle. There can be two causes for it:
1) the rotor axle, bridge and setting (fixing) spring is getting loose. This will be quite easy repair as all it takes is to tighten all screws and replace or tighten setting spring.
2) rotor axle is worn, so, consequently the bridge and the setting spring as well. In this case the rotor axle must be replaced by the new one and re-bushed into the bridge and the new setting spring must be fitted. This takes quite a lot of work and new parts as well.
Can not tell you about the costs, but Rolex repairs has never been cheap. In the U.K.about a year ago I did the repairs as described in chapter 2 and customer was charged £195.00, parts inclusive, and it was cheap by the Rolex standards.
Do not forget to rate, please.

Hi, Same here but I DO have the manual. Still took a lot of working out tho. Make sure you have decent batteries installed (Should be changed every year) so that the time will remain next power out.

You have a problem with EFM interference from a light that has a dimmer switch. Turn dimmer all the way up or off, buzzing will cease
