Members The Chinese Posted November 14, 2005 Members Share Posted November 14, 2005 I just got one of these units, and when I turn it on, I hear a buzz coming from the unit. soundslike a transformer buzzing... Anyone else own one of these? Does it make this kind of noise? thanks, -Todd A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Nope, sorry Todd, I don't have one of those. Did you try calling Furman and asking them about it? How about the dealer who sold it to you? Some subtle tranny hum may not be that unusual, but it shouldn't be making THAT much noise. I'd call first, but I suspect a replacement / exchange may be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Chinese Posted November 14, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks, Phil.... unfortunately, i got it used, and I was of course in a rush and didnt turn it on. It's my fault. Of course the seller didn't bother to inform me either, so he is an ass, but ultimately it's on my shoulders. i am trying to figure out if other units make noise before I hassle him (he works for GC Pro, and I have a very solid relationship with them, especially his boss...he he..) -Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Then I'd definitely call Furman. Explain what you're hearing to them, and ask them what they think. Heck, they don't have to, but they might even offer to check it out / repair it for free, or darn close to it. Either way, it's not going to hurt. But a loud buzz from anything electrical - especially a power conditioner - makes me nervious, and it definitely could be a safety issue if left as it is now. Don't take chances - call Furman.

Members Zooey Posted November 14, 2005 Members Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have a Furman power strip that used to make a buzzing, transformer type noise. It mysteriously fixed itself after a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
