Does Anyone Else Have This Problem With Thier Heater?

[Loops]

Hi guys

When my heaters thermostat comes on and off it makes a loud noise.

My boyfriends doesn't, is this something i need to worry about?

Anyone else had this?

i think it might be wise to invest in a new heater just incase

I only purchased it 2 months ago

what make of heater is it as it shudnt really make any noise at all

ring the manufacturer or email they might say send it back and send you another one it sounds like it shorting out somewhere (which is not good my central heating thermostat does that lol) or just buy a new one like forby3 says or do both lol

Thanks for the replies

It's an Interpet one, 50w

Think I might go back to pets at home where I got it, see what they say?

 

[mixmaster jay]

yeah thats prob the best thing they might refund or swap their not too bad for that providing you have a reciept.

Is it a reputable make? I would take it back if it sticks on then your fish might get boiled.

Don't think I do still have the reciept I'll try anyway

The temperature is staying a steady 30c, I'm still cycling the tank so luckily no fishies in there

 

[mixmaster jay]

youve got to try and be cheeky nowadays lol

You don't think because i have the heater vertical it would make a difference?

 

[mixmaster jay]

as long as it is not out of water it should be fine it maybe condensation in the thermostat at the top try drying it out on a radiater for a day and then try it again see what happens

It does sound like the bimetal strip is sticking slightly and releasing last minute so I really think you need to contact the manufacturer or go back to the shop. They should be ok as long as you are polite

 

[mixmaster jay]

it should also have a 1 years manufacturers garauntee with it too

The best heaters in my opinion are Visitherm. I've always used them and they're very accurtate and last many years.
