I now only have an 8ft and 3 ft baseboard heater connected to the rlv430. Each time the heat pulses, the 8ft baseboard makes noise. Is this normal?

My units tick a little when the thermostat trips on but that is all. it has been doing this since the units were new a I have no problems. Is your wiring and breaker sized correctly for the twon units?

What kind of noise? Mine make a sort of "clicking" sound when the heat goes off as the metal starts to cool.

I'm not an expert when it comes to electric but when the thermostat goes on and off to achieve the temp setting the baseboards will sometime make a clicking sound. This is normal (I beleive) due to the metals expanding and contracting. Hope this helps you.

I have the same version but with a metal chassis and noticed this whine. I'm going to look into a replacement. It makes the noise about 20 seconds after plugging in the power.

The one I have set up is pulling hot air out from the top of my receiver. It lays horizontally & it performs very well. No noise what so ever. Been working that way for about six months now.

what were you using it for the smoke is kinda normal the noise will subside as you evacuate the unit but make sure it has vacuum pump oil in it to the min max line on site glass

Give it time to heat the space. Make sure u have the correct dedicated amp outlet. I have a thermostat set at 55 and it works like a charm 20x20 space...

Yup! I don't know why it makes that sound, but it indicates the heating element is working. My old Shark made a similar sound. Go figure.

it may be the coil heating up when the unit is new we have not experienced this noise with ours.

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?

I have 5 of them and none run warm however all are controlling less than 75% of their capability. If you are running at max wattage rating it may run warm. I would check your current draw to ensure you are not exceeding the wattage ratting. Wattage=current x voltage, if you have a 220 volt line and the heater is drawing 10 amps your wattage is 2,200. Your baseboard should have a wattage rating on it so you should not have to actually measure the amperage with a meter, just make sure it is less than the rating of the thermostat.

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

I had the same noise with mine. Couldn't figure out why. It stopped when I upgraded to the Nest Thermostat.

I have gas furnace heating baseboard radiators and it works fine. Absolutely no noise.

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.

I asked the same question to manufacturer; they said yes it was normal. Sometimes my fan would not even start until there was enough heat generated for it kick in. I can only surmise that the machine is smarter than me!

That problem has not occurred on my heater and I always use it on low setting. As someone else suggested, clean the pilot to get rid of dust.

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

I have two installations with two pucks in one and six in the other. It isn't noisy for me. I'm using the recommended Meanwell transformer. Could it be your transformer that is making the noise?
