You have to clean the filter every week. After a time dust settle in the air vents and it helps if you clean the vents with alcohol and q tips. It is high voltage and alcohol dry fast. I was able to extent the life span of the filter with one year by blowing the dust leafs blower. Two filters I have wash in bath tub with clean water and after that was ruined ( desperate measure for desperate time ).

You may need to clean it again. Besides the main piece, there's a smaller rod that pulls up that also needs to be wiped clean. Since it can't be removed for cleaning, I use one of those electrostatic dusters. The first time I noticed the crackling sound, I cleaned only the main part and the crackling continued. Once I cleaned that smaller rod, it stopped. Hope that's helpful.

I had that problem. There is a filter in line. Cleaned it and the flow was fine again.

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

Tried mine last night for the first time, makes so much noise that I had to go back to my old unit. Will try again in a different area and see if that helps

I've never had this problem with mine. Did you rinse out the filter well before placing it? That's the only thing I can think of that might be the cause...

The only thing I can think of is to adjust the input settings on your computer's audio settings, or there is a program called Spin It Again, by Acoustica, that cleans pops, crackles and hisses. I hope this will help.

So far, my unit works well. Used it for four months. Have no idea what to do about the "noise". Running it in "thermostat" mode.

Have you cleaned it? Are you using the filter they recommend you use with it? These things make a difference...I use mine in our office...we are in very dry weather so I really need it in the winter with central heating...

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

A few months ago I had a similar issue, I thoroughly cleaned all the filters let them dry out for a few days and replaced.

My first assumption is in the filter wiring, or construction. This is assuming you are not using any other cables. If you are, first try changing the cable, and see if it helps. If not, contact Amazon about replacement.

Not much crackling in mine either but dont really care - it works great. If I get real close I can here something like a crackle but the fan kinda overwelms it as we always have ours on high

I have three of these units. They run 24/7. I recently had one get noisy and quit working. I have looked inside and I don't believe there is anyway to fix the problem you have. Beyond working with the control pad I wouldn't advise doing anything beyond that if it is under the warranty. I believe the warranty is either 2 or 5 years. I don't have that info out at present. I called the number for service, the call taker wanted the number stamped into the plug on the unit, verified it was under warranty. I still had a box, boxed the unit up and sent it off. It cost me $49 to send it UPS but I got a brand new unit, new filters and all within a few days. For me, the shipping cost was worth it. I got a brand new unit for one I had had for a year or more as I recall.

No. Keep changing the filters. If not contact Samsung and let them know. Maybe there is something wrong with your unit. Cause we never had any problem at all. Hope this help!

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

Is this the first time you've used the unit? If so, I wonder if you didn't install it correctly...? On the other hand, if you've been using the filter for some time, it probably needs to be cleaned. Remove the filter, let it dry, then scrub with sandpaper, rinse in plain water, then re-install. At least, that's what I do when the filter stops working. Eventually, I need to buy a new filter.

Mine has quit working too. We have used citric acid, cleaned the filters, etc.
