i am getting a high pitched noise when the thermostat activates for a few seconds, any ideas?

Not heard in our very quiet house. If only one device makes the sound, the cause might be due to the nature of the load. A load that requires too much current when "cold" might be causing the overloaded switching devices to produce small vibrations, which you hear. I would replace device if sound is only with one device connected to a resistive load needing well under 15 A. -- Too little information to speculate more. Good luck.

It does have relay contacts inside it. My guess there is a defect where the contacts resonate. I have four of these thermostats and none of them do that. Though I did have to buy an extra one after a defect. I had a negative experience with warranty. There is one warranty man and he'll answer your email in about 2 weeks and try to pass blame on you.

I am hearing the motor too along with the white noise... I wonder if it's normal or if my unit has a defect.

My Robertshaw RS6110 thermostat and have never heard any clicking sounds...maybe you should have an electrician check it out.

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

It could be the automatic thermostat cycling on and off. This unit is not designed for continuous heat output.

yeah something's wrong then, mine sounds like a jet engine winding up when turned on. And the airflow increases quite a bit from the low to high setting, as well as the feel of suction in the back from the air getting pulled in. Make sure all the filters are pressed all the way in and the back panel is snapped on because it has a safety feature that wont let it turn on when that cover isnt on. If all that is the case and its still not working id return it, the next one will be fine im sure.

Did you slide the system button to "cool" ? Is the breaker for the air conditioning set to "on"? Are all the wires under the thermostat making good contact? If you need more help, I would contact Honeywell. They are pretty helpful.

What kind of noise? Mine make a sort of "clicking" sound when the heat goes off as the metal starts to cool.

I have not had that problem with my heater. But it sounds like there may be a small clog in the line near the pilot light.

It sounds like a broken wire somewhere between the plug and the heater. Or the heating element went bad.

No vibration noticed. Occasionaly hear a high pitched whine when house is quiet.

Have not experienced your issues. No, DO NOT attempt a repair yourself. Please seek a qualified local appliance repair shop. It is normal for metal to "Make Sounds" when heated or cooled. If these "sounds" are new, different, unsafe, or not up to your standards, also consider replacement due to cost of estimated repairs.

Try putting a pair of shoes on it for an hour or so, they should warm up. You should not hear any noise as it is just a heating element that causes a natural thermal draft.

Unfortunately, the sound is normal for this particular thermostat. I replaced an older Honeywell with this unit and was amazed that the newer model made such a loud click when calling for chilled air (still summer here). Since the thermostat is in my hallway, I am sure the click is louder due to the echo off the walls. But heck ... my "old" thermostat was so silent that I had to lean in to hear the relay pick. Actually looking at tossing this one for something quieter and with more features perhaps. I am not going to talk to my thermostat from my phone but I would like to have the outside air temp displayed. So ... quiet its not. Unfortunately, the sound is normal for this particular thermostat.

The only clicking noises I hear are from the baseboard heaters themselves. This thermostat has a variable rate function which means the heaters are not on full-bore all the time. The thermo ramps down the amount of heat as the temp gets close to your desired temp and ramps up as the temp drops. This is supposed to use less power than if it were all or nothing, on or off.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

make sure it boils fully at a high temperature, turn it off and leave it on heat until it finishes making noise usually works fine Greg
