I have a loud "whirring" noise whenever the TV is on

Folks tell me that it is probably the "light engine" - any idea where I can even get parts?

In the past the light engine had to be completely changed and Loewe offered a swap out price however Loewe have recently created a procedure for cleaning and refitting the colour wheel within the light engine. Light engine costs around $3200, swap out price around $700 plus labour.

Whirring noise when car moves

Hello Matt Panek,

Any chance you have a POLICE chopper following your every move??

Whirring ... Seriously? (might mean you overdosed).

Could be a loose fender liner... or maybe a wheel coming off and EVERYTHING in between (wheel bearings or dragging a kid's tricycle).

When everything is bolted down, clear and working fine ... there is nothing finer than the freedom of driving your car...

But when they start making strange noises...
They can be QUITE DEADLY.

A part coming loose... or even a plastic bag sucked into an air intake can have fatal consequences if ignored.

If you cannot immediately find the cause of a trouble...

Muffler shops, mechanics & service stations would love to have you visit...

Don't risk SAFETY... when all the FINE FOLKS are
just waiting to help (sell lots of things)...

Listen to what they are telling you...

A loose muffler bracket can save your entire exhaust system if addressed early... but that same MUFFLER CAN KILL
PEOPLE in the car behind you if it FALLS OFF at freeway speeds.

Be safe... Always check out & resolve NOISES before
endangering yourself or others

My built in lamona oven makes a smell like electicals burning and makes a loud whirring noise when switched on. Any ideas why? have had an electrician in to replace the mechanism inside and the problem is...

This sounds like the magnetron is failing, with a typical smell and a loud noise, there are two additional parts that can be a factor, the high voltage capacitor and diode. To pursue this you will need an appliance repairman or tv technician, the parts and labor will probably run the cost of a new microwave oven.

My samsung 42 inch hdtv is making a buzzing noise

First. The whirring or buzzing sound you hear is the Color Wheel and it needs to be replaced. Second, since I do not know when and if the original lamp has been replaced it is a good idea to replaced the lamp. The bad Color Wheel is the one causing the set to shut down.

Big Screen gets loud, mad and turns off

without a model number, i can't be much help. if this is a newer dlp or similar tv, the fan is probably going out. some newer tv's have a fan that is part of the light assembly, some have a separate fan.. the loud whirring noise is usually caused by bad bearings or the blades of the fan may have become unbalanced, either way, the fan making the noise will need replacing. the color going is usually caused by the lcd or dlp overheating and/or the lamp overheating.

if the tv is out of warranty, remove the back panel, locate the fan making the noise, and search for a replacement. if you have a model number, i can check around and see if i can find the part number for you.

hope this helps,
trin

Loud whirring. Not the fan.

The fan noise is normal on this set. The lamps are cooled via this method. Your users manual explains this issue..and it is the fan as you can see it slows down after the tv is switched off..
