Gardian Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We've got a Scholtes cooker hood - it's about 10 years old.Just lately, it's started to 'buzz' all the time, even when not operating.Anybody got any ideas as to the likely cause?

woolybanana Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Overwintering hornets?Could it be caused by the wind?Or an electrical short coming on? My guess would be the latter area, in which case, turn off the current at the mains and then see if that stops it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not the wind, nor any dodgy betes.I've tried knocking the juice off too. I'll give it another try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 This has nothing to do with your 'electrical 'surge'' has it?I don't think that I have had a cooker hood that has lasted more than 10 years, I have had expensive ones and cheap ones and that seems to be their 'life'. I do use mine a lot incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wish it was (in a way) Idun.No, it's been doing it for several weeks & gradually getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is the even when off that worried me; it suggests that it might be coming form somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 The 'buzz' is coming from where the fan is located.I just tried the classic rectification procedure and gave the housing a good whack with the palm of my hand ........... and the noise stopped!Only to start up again 10 secs later!

Gardian Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh well ............... leave it for long enough & it stops !!Fan still works. Result.So that's the TV fixed, my carte vitale finally received and the cooker hood self-rectified .......... all in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
