I have this model and am currently running it through a Blue Icicle. It worked when I first got it, but now just noise comes through. Any ideas?

I think the blue icicle could be the problem because my at2020 is still running fine after all this time !

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

Has yours broken? I was just thinking about ordering one. It appears that they have heating element issues with the old one. Maybe I will wait to see if someone orders it for Christmas and posts responses. Let me know what you think of yours.

I have not had any problem with mine. The key is to unplug it during freezing temperatures and snow accumulation so that it does not try and pump and burn out. I had 3 feet of snow on my cover for two months and had to wait for a thaw before plugging it back in to A/C power. Also check the filter periodically to make sure that it is not clogged. Otherwise the motor will continue to run if there is water accumulation but it will not be able to pump and the motor will burn out.

My heater never lasted through one winter season, we actually bought it in april, used it a few times. it quit working, makes a rattling noise and does not blow any heat. tried to email the company several times, but they never responded. I also called a few times but didn't get through

Sounds like a faulty unit, my last one only lasted a couple of months. It's just a cheap fun thing so I figured I would just replace them as they gave out... Since it came that way though I would say return it for a replacement.

I agree with the previous responder. I believe that there is a problem with the e09K unit. Mine worked perfectly right out of the box and continues to output sounds that are normal for the music being played. I think it is a defective unit and should be returned. Don't be discouraged about this unusual problem as the the equipment is high quality and performs exceptionally when it is working properly. I would ask Amazon to replace it. I hope this helps you get a working e09k as you will be pleased with the results.

Possible defective motor winding or your ice was still to cold (wait the 15 min. before blending) Return it for warranty if it happens again.

Mine is doing the same thing. I finally just stopped using the ice machine unless I need it for a one time use. Was awesome while it lasted :/

I bought one locally and have the same problem. About a half-inch gap allows ice/mix to splash out. A bit messy! They said they'll send a new part. Hopefully, that'l 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.

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok.If it's not broken don't fix it!

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

Contact the company for a replacement, sounds like a defect. I never had that issue with mine.

I ended up replacing mine. It was noisy and would stop on its own. I'd simply replace it!

Just got one on Tuesday 2/9/10. Same buzzing problem, but found out it was getting some type of interference from our space heater. Look for something that may be causing the same thing in your home. We turned off the space heater and now we're colder, but NO BUZZING. Hope this helps!

These t-stats are only rated to run a single heater. You could be overloading it. Try unhooking one and see if the noise goes away
