How do we stop the screeching, and freeze of the machine?

It didn't stop for me so I called the company (Norelco) and they replaced it.

You can manually hit the "Pause" or "Stop" button on the machine, or unplug the ac adapter cable from the unit.

Sorry I can't help... This weekend the same thing happened to the unit I bought for my Mom. Please let me know if you find an easy fix for this problem.

Sounds like it's too much squelch. Turn it up until you have a constant static, then back it off until there's nothing. That's what we did and we don't have that problem.

I've only used it twice. The "popping" should stop after about 20 secs., and before it is used. It is a steam processor, so it does sound like a toy train engine. If it's stronger than that, there could be a problem.

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

Remove the intake tube and insure the impeller is seated firmly. I had the same problem and that corrected it. Hope this helps.

When that happens I would turn it off right away and unplug it. Then take a look under the bottom suction area to see if there is something obstructing the flow into the machine.

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

I have this same printer, normal operation is very quiet, so you have a absolute problem. I've experienced some major plastic gear grinding noises that are very loud. What I found the solution to be was to open the rear paper jam panel and slam it shut a couple times. Drop the front panel down and just under the toner cartridges you'll see a small handle, bottom dead center. This pulls out the entire assembly holding all the toner packs in. Pull it out just a couple inches and slam it back in a couple times, then close the front door and carefully look at the top of the door making sure its even all the way across the top, if its off just slightly you don;t have that other part that holds all the toner pushed all the way in properly. Also pull the paper tray out and take extra care to make sure you're getting it pushed in properly. I don;t know which one of those things solved the problem, but by doing all of the above I no longer have the noise issue (severe noise at that) and now it prints and runs smooth and quiet.

Return your machine... Been having nothing but problems with mine after several visits to the technicians.

We have not had any problems. Maybe your winding the wire to tight around the machine ? Good Luck

I have not had any problem w loud noises. Probably the only nice thing I can say about the machine.

I've also had this issue...it's very annoying, those loud beeps as soon as you turn it on. I'd love to know if this can be remedied as well!

Try setting the emergency brake... Seriously, you will need to give a better description of the problem. I bought a Q-See system because of the rave reviews for customer service. It is early days but, as yet, I have not had much (any) satisfaction from the company.

Will Try. Go to the I Robot website and down load the manual for the Scooba, it will have a trouble shooting section in there to find the problem. and hope that it is not "brain dead" where the computer brain is fried.

You could get a soft start or variable frequency drive to fix this. We've used them in industry for over 30 years just for this situation. A 1/2to 1 hp drive can probably be gotten for $100 on ebay.
