skylark - Machine has been off for 24 hours. Checked just now and guess what? It’s still ticking away, at the same frequency.
Go figure…
Lelit Elizabeth 'ticking'?
😁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.
🤔🧐

MediumRoastSteam Is this off off, or off. Wall socket off (or unplugged) vs switch on machine. I can’t remember if the machine has a DPDT switch or not.
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.
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.
soundwave1 As soon as i switch the machine on, ticking stops!
How exactly do u switch it on?
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.
MediumRoastSteam Machine ticks unplugged and cold.
It’s a mystery, tales of the unknown.
