Does anyone else have a loud humming noise when the unit is in use on the bake setting only?Toaster is brand new and wonder if I should return.

Yeah. That's the little fan inside. That's part of the convection ovens, but It should not be loud. If is too loud, maybe it fell down during shipping.

Gave this as a gift so I am not sure if it makes a noise or not. When in doubt return it.
1710963
Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

I used the bake setting only once and don't recall whether there was any humming noise.

Megan: You should not have a high pitched noise when you plug it in. I would exchange it. I have the four slice version and like it very much. It does a better job of toasting than any toaster I have had before. I especially like the bagel setting and my husband like the reheat setting. We have not had a reason to use the defrost setting. The count down is especially helpful when making eggs to go with the toast, as everything is timed to be down perfectly.

Never had a high pitched noise when plugged in. It makes a high pitched noise when bread pops just to alert you . I would not exchange for a different brand. This has been the BEST toaster we have ever owned.

Mine never made that pitched noise, and I don't think it is normal. What I would do: exchanging it only. In my opinion, Cuisinart is dependable. ...But even the best one may fail some time, I guess.

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

Same thing here - I'm on my second toaster. Both times now, the poacher died but the toaster still works. I called the company about a year ago with this issue, and they sent me a new one, with instructions to discard the old one. Apparently some kind of wiring issue. I might try to return this one too, and see what happens!

Sorry David, haven't done English Muffins, but for a bagel, out of the cooling part of the frig, a setting around 2 gets it to the light brown I desire. This is the Cuisinart with the rotary dial...not one of the digital toasters. Trial and error may do it for you, but sounds like you have electrical problems with the toaster. Does it do the same with toast?

Make sure that you do not have it set on "BROIL" instead of "TOAST." Look at your instruction book if you still have it. It sounds as though it is broiling. Also, be sure to follow the toasting process, as to how well done you want the toast.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

I just got the same toaster oven. My oven does the exact same thing. I'm not happy that I need to put some type of light source by the oven so I can see the clock and timer.

Hi, That doesn't sound normal. I've used this kind of dryer for over twenty years and never had a problem with them. The only noise you should here is air noise and the humming of the motor. The dryer should be very quiet. Hope this helps

I actually have been selling this product in my store and through Amazon, I have not had any problems with it. I am wondering if the toaster that you received it defective. Did it ever work in the beginning?

I did not ever have this issue. I have had this toaster for about 2 years now.

lThe unit will make a high pitched sound when it needs to be cleaned, but my suggestion is, while you are dusting or at least once a month take the unit and clean it too. I am delighted with this product, and when you do clean it do it with a damp paper towel, you will notice that it will be BLACK, and be sure to clean the little filter at the top too. Don't touch the black crap, it's like printer toner and is hard to get off.

Mine did the same thing and in order to get it fixed or replaced, you have to send it back to the company and be stuck without a toaster until it is fixed or replaced. You may also take it to a repair center if you have one close enough. I live in Pittsburgh area and the closest one is across the state in Philadelphia.

Mine does the same thing, makes a loud clicking noise when mixing bread or thick cookie dough. Kitchenaid's response was: "The clicking noise is normal, especially under a heavy load." so it is a known problem. Personally, I would call this a design defect. No other motorized appliance I have ever used made noises unless it was broken. I may opt for a smaller model or a different brand.

I never had a smell or odor emitted from this toaster. Can it be your outlet that is causing the problem? If not, send it back as defective and request replacement or refund.
