Mine hasnt ben on at all today and … no ticking, surprise surprise but tomorrow i expect to be able to hear it from around 18″ distance. Now I’m not claiming to have mega powers when it comes to hearing but its as MRS describes, like a swishing analogue watch . Strange that it doesnt seem to unwind itself for a good few hours after powerdown. It definitely doesnt sound like a boiler or internals cooling down but i suppose that’ll be how things will be accepted …. i’m not too worried about MY machine now that others can confirm my findings. Cant speak for others who may have way more enquiring minds than me ….

    MediumRoastSteam - as reported above, doesn’t seem to tick away when the machine is on. So I turned the machine off (while hot) and tried to hear it out. No ticking.

    🤔🧐

        DavecUK Is this off off, or off.

        MediumRoastSteam So I unplugged the machine and the noise is still there. I then moved the machine somewhere else, and, to my surprise, the noise is still there.

        I tried both Dave. Off and Off Off. :-)

        PS: Looking at some pictures, looks like the machine does have a DTDP (Dual Pole Dual Throw switch) or at least a DPST (Dual Pole Single Throw) switch.

            DavecUK my wife turned the machine on already in the morning I couldn’t check it, but it has been 4hrs since it’s turned off and now ticking like a clock hahaha. I also unplugged it. I don’t get this :)

                Inspector If it’s ticking like a clock when unplugged….it must be mechanical and heat related, otherwise I can’t explain it. There isn’t really a power source of any note within it? Perhaps a small cap keeping the RTC going….if it’s got one. Not sure it has.

                  There is definitely something going on, even when the machine is not powered. It doesn’t happen when the machine is on or hot. So yeah… A mystery.

                  RTC as in Real Time clock/controller? I don’t think it keeps track of time though?

                    Maybe it’s mining crypto currency? Did you notice a pile of bit-coin under the machine?

                      Probably not, really cannot think what it might be….especially if it’s unplugged…mouse in machine?

                          DavecUK - No idea. I’m sure there’s an explanation for it… Not worth the thought or worrying about it though.

                            Free wristwatch inside each machine, just gotta find it 😁

                            Mine’s been off since lunchtime and still ticking, i’ll miss it when it stops!

                              a year later

                              skylark Resurrecting this one…did your ticking stop? Mine started about a month ago and i cannot pin point the location, other than maybe the back left of the unit.
                              As soon as i switch the machine on, ticking stops!

                              Doing my head in! I can hear it from 15 feet away.

                                  DavecUK I have had it on a smart switch, so the machines power switch is ‘always on’ and I simply press the smart switch button on/off or the schedule will turn it on/off automatically.

                                  I’ve just unplugged it from mains and will see what happens over the next 24 hours.

                                      soundwave1 - :-) - If you go by reading experiences in the thread (including mine), most likely the ticking will be there. :-)

                                        Mine is also ticking. Even if i don’t switch it on for couple of days.

                                        soundwave1 Heres the tests you can do and do you use a euro plug converter, or dies it have a UK 3 pin plug.

                                        With machine on and warmed up

                                        • switch off machines switch (does it tick)
                                        • switch off at smart plug (does it tick)
                                        • switch off at mains socket switch (does it tick)
                                        • unlug (does it tick)

                                        repeat these with the machine cold

                                        Doing those tests will pinpoint any problem

                                        • normal ticking of metal as it cools down
                                        • possible live neutral reversal in machine, smart plug, wall socket, euro to 3 pin adaptor
                                        • supernatural activity

                                            DavecUK - those were already discussed in this thread. Machine ticks unplugged and cold.

                                            Supernatural activities seem to be the most plausible thing.
