The unit makes noises and it looks like the noise is coming from temperature display which blinks all the time even with batteries

I have only had my shower panel for about 2 weeks and noticed yesterday that the display blinks dark to blue and flashes the temperature or something else. I also hear a noise. I'm not happy that this is happening as it was costly to instal with the plumber! I'm not sure what to do and don't want to have to pay the plumber double to take it down to check.Update: So I finally have my plumber back...what I thought was a leak (and making the noise) and flashing on the temperature display...was not. My plumber said it is a defective thermostatic value . I like the shower panel but not happy of how much it cost me to install the panel...it now costs me double for something that was not my fault from the start!

I dont have any problem at all. It should not blink. I wonder if there if short circuit due to moisture. Try to dry it up back panel and battery and you can use hair dryer to make it fast. Then close the lid tight

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

We only recently began using our Shower panel and we've also heard a noise coming from the unit. I can't say whether or it's the temperature displaycausing this noise. The temperature display runs off of hydrostatic pressure and it could be that mechanism. Who knows - the noise isn't all that badhowever the overall jury is still out.

Ella, this is very odd. Mine does not make any noise and the temperature display does not flash so something is wrong. You might have received a faulty unit. You might want to call Amazon. I hope this helps you. I am sure this is irritating for you. Sorry, Cindy

I have this shower and have not had any problems. Do you think it's defective? It was so pricey I'd check with Amazon to get another one or call the mfg.

There is a small module that is optional, it blinks according to the charge mode it is in. The module is attached with a short cable that can be mounted outside the unit.

When I switched the wiring on mine it made a different noise, so yeah, you probably have a bad unit

The manual says "When the batteries are nearly empty, the battery indicator blinks", it does not mention anywhere a sound. http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvt5500_00/dvt5500_00_dfu_aen.pdf

Be sure the batteries are installed correctly. Try unplugging the heater and re-energize.

I haven't noticed any noise from the unit. I haven't actually been there when the fading light activated the photo cell to cut the unit on, so I don't know whether there might be some "click" at the point -- but I doubt it.

Try Turning the unit off first before disconnecting from the battery. I had the same problem but it was caused by a bad transducer

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

The light blinks when it is not yet heated to the temperature selected. It should stop blinking once heated up.

I started having the same problem with mine. I think the unit needs to be returned.

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

I have noticed this as well. This seems like a potential electrical problem which could be dangerous. However no danger here, the control started to blink after a few days then stopped working completely. Sent it back to Amazon

Shouldn't be that loud or, going off that frequently. You can perhaps turn the temp a little? I had one unit that made noise, but the new one is pretty quiet.

David C. The only sound that is made is the ones that let you know the unit is on/off/bad battery. These are simple beeps and a light indicator. During operation in the field...nothing, Great product! Mine is over two years old and is still going with no issues other than new batteries. Tom

Take the battery out of the thermometer and re-install it install a new battery. If it doesn't clear the problem, get a replacement.
