Is it normal for the cooker to make a buzzing sound when double-pressing buttons, or sometimes when opening the lid after cooking rice?

I am not sure if it is normal, but mine does make this noise when the lid is open.

Doesn't happen with our cooker, may want to check with the seller / manufacturer

Did the waffle iron sound a ready beep after it has finished preheating? Otherwise I would contact Calphalon because it should beep, sounds like a defect.

Mine only makes a quick, not too loud of a noise, right as it turns on... before it starts to grind. It only lasts a fraction of a second. I would be concerned if you have a continuing noise. I would exchange it, rather than worry every time you use it.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard. If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

Hello, Happy New Year,I don't have troubled to open the lid, you need to check the rice cooker if the lid is hard, you go to return this to Amazon company.

Hi, Carol. The reason was already answered by Bharti U Pandit; as pressure builds in, some of it has to be released. This pressure cooker doesn't make a continuous noise after the pressure builds in, it blows a 'whistle' intermittently, the more often the higher the burner of the stove - I find the whistles very useful because I can count them even when I'm not in the kitchen. Gradually I was able to know how many whistles before potatoes (2-4), black beans (10 or more, if not soaked overnight), chickpea (15 if not soaked overnight) etc would be cooked. Hope it helps.

Mine makes a noise when I press the button like it's building up to steam. It's sort of a gurgling or water popping kind of sound. That's normal. Does that help?

Hi Jillofalltrades, just make sure that the rubber ring inside the lid is on correctly and that the lid does lock right. Don't fill the pot to the guide line put less water. When the cooker starts hissing and the steam starts lower the heat so that the hissing is still going on but not as strong. The lid will always have a little mess because of the releasing steam. Trust me your food will still cook.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?

Sorry, seems like you got the lemon in otherwise great appliance. I have use it everyday and have not experienced this kind of problem. I set the timer at night and wake up to the aroma of coffee wafting through my apartment. The only noise it makes is the burr of the grinder. I suggest you return your unit as defective and request an exchange. Companies are usually very good about this since they don't want to lose customers due to bad publicity.

Hi, We are not sure how slight is the knocking but if it seems like a crackling sound, like the sound of burning wood, that should be normal. Otherwise, there might be an issue inside the item. We hope that helps. Thank you, Sales Team

I think that is normal. I believe mine does that too, although I haven't used it for a while.

When the 0's are circling, it means the cooker has not yet reached full temperature. The pot is unable to heat up for some reason. I assume there is some noise and steam escaping from it... Check to be sure the silicone sealer ring is in place underneath the lid. Check that the lid is rotated all the way closed. Check that the little plastic piece on top drops down into the "closed" position and not up to "exhaust". The little hole on top of the lid should make a hissing sound for only 5-10 seconds, then the pot will go quiet. The numbers will stop circling a few minutes after the pot becomes quiet.
