Is this ice cream maker suppose to be beeping once a second the entire time it's running ?

I don't think so. We went through two of them and neither worked as described so we just returned it.

Absolutely not! If it's an electronic beep, it's a malfunction. It might be a squeak from the canister turning. Re-position it and see what happens. Keep the canister handle toward the back.

No, that means the churning blade is feeling resistance it it should do that near the end when it is ready to transfer to a container for final freezing.

I ordered this and it immediately started beeping when I powered it on, and lasted for 5 minutes. Eventually the beeping stopped. I called Whynter and they told me it sounded like a motor malfunction due to the unit being jostled in transit, and that I should exchange it for a new one. The packing on this unit is very shoddy-- not Amazon packing-- so it doesn't surprise me.

No it doesn't beep when it's done. The water heating/brew cycle is fairly loud.

It keeps beeping for a few seconds, perhaps 15 - 30, I have never counted. Once it beeps and finally stops, it does not beep again as a reminder.

Yes, this model beeps 3 times when it's done brewing, and it beeps again when the 2 hours are up for the timer to shut off. It has a delay for you to pour before it is finished brewing.

Mine is still working just fine, with light to medium use throughout the week. When the ice maker starts it makes a soft motor sound, which is caused by its pump, and once the ice tray is filled this noise stops. Sometimes, you can also hear a louder sound, made by a cooling fan. This unit is not the most silent on the planet but mine still works. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't beep. I've also found that I need to set lower temperatures than I did using my previous toaster.

Are you getting beeping from the unit if so how many in a 30-45 second time frame

Unfortunately not, I researched that before I bought it. It immediately starts beeping / flashing. Would be nice if it would only beep after a set amount of time.

I have never had that issue. Faulty machine unless there is too much ice cream in there and somehow the vibrations are causing it to move??

If it started beeping on the first use, then check to see if the electric outlet is properly grounded. Try plugging it into a known grounded outlet. It should not beep, if it does, then you got a defective unit. Your outlet needs to be grounded. The beauty of the device is the beeping does occur if it is sacrificed during a power surge to let you know the appliance is no longer protected.

It is a very low beep. I ended going to one of those dollar type stores and purchasing some kitchen timers. There is also a website that has visual timers.

I just checked...it beeps 5 times (along with scrolling a message that says "enjoy your meal").

It beeps when the coffee is done. To tell the truth, I don't really know if it beeps when the 2 hr. shutoff activates. I simply never paid attention to that because that is not important to me. I am typically not listening for it. I am listening for the beep to tell me the coffee is ready though.

I don't remember it beeping, I just know that, at least the one I had, absolutely would not brew an even mildly strong cup of coffee. a serious waste of resources that machine is

This coffee maker beeps, but its a soft beep sound, and is not annoying in anyway. But it does beep, and there is no way to turn it off either.

No, I don't know how to turn it off. It's the only annoying thing about the machine. I LOVE it! But the loud beeping is annoying. I have owned the machine over a month, I ignore it now.

That is quite a question!!! :)Well, yes it could have a beep every time the frig is opened! Keep the beer safe! use the window/door sensor.GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System Window/Door Sensor
