when you move your iron from horizontal to vertical back and forth, do you hear a sound like a screw is moving inside the iron?is that defective item?

I have not had that problem with this iron, but I did with a previous Rowenta (different model). I iron 5 to 6 hours a week and have not really had any major complaint with any Rowenta I have had. Sounds like a problem with yours. Hope this helps.

There is no sound at all as I move it in any direction. I would think the sound means something is abnormal...

Haven't heard that particular noise, might as well though since I have to unplug the iron and plug it back in every few minutes because the automatic cut off keeps shutting down the iron. I have lost all faith in Rowenta and I use to be a BIG fan.

It sounds like snapping and popping-electrical it's when the water is in the tank.

No it sounds like electrical every time I put water in the tank it's naps and pops this is the second time I've answered this request

Mine went "Ka-Flooey" after a few uses. Just kept going up and down, up and down.....I contacted Amazon and my money was refunded. They told me not to send the iron back. I really wanted to get a good Oliso iron. My first one leaked and the "back leg" still drags. That one did not come from Amazon, unfortunately.

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

I have not experienced that with mine. Sounds like thermal expansion of metal. If its under warranty have it replaced, otherwise love it or leave it!

No. All you should hear is air moving and a very faint hum. Sounds like a bad bearing or motor.

make sure that the metal arm that moves the conveyor up and down is properly seated on both sides of the conveyor. Mine was out of alignment and clicked at first. Once is popped in, the clicking went away and you only hear the dull grinding noise.

I think it may be defective. When it's in the flat position and you raise it up, does it make a clicking sound as the locking mechanism functions? if not, then there is something wrong internally.

I have only had this for a short time, but I haven't encountered this issue. Sounds like a defect to me.

That sound you are hearing is likely the in-body stabilization when you half-press the button. It is perfectly normal (if this is the use case scenario). If it just has this hum while not touching anything, sounds like you may have an issue.

Roy. mine has always made that rattling sound ever since I've owned it for 17 years when you run stock through it. It shouldn't make it if there's (no load) stock running through it. Only thing I've had to change on it for all those years is a blade chuck and believe me I have done a lot of work on it. Hundreds of projects. Hope this helps.Tim

Did you try a magnet to retrieve the screw? If you get it back together, checking the tightness of the screw should be routine.

Have had no noise problems with mine. See if it's noisy in the in other function selections. If noise is unique to one or two positions, and you feel capable, open top and see if any obstructions are present.

No, it appears something might be loose inside or not functioning. Return to manufacturer for repair for your safety.

I believe mine has always squeaked a bit, but it never caused problems. My iron just recently died; I probably had it for 10+ years.

Mine moves in and out 1/16" or less. There is NO internal sound, even if I shake it, unless I pull the trigger in which case I only hear the motor. -No rattling sound. The hammer action only actuates under load. If yours still functions correctly DeWalt tech support might have better information on the tolerances allowed and what exactly is worn out or loose.

Contact the company for a replacement, sounds like a defect. I never had that issue with mine.
