Kessil humming?

My kessil is making a slight hum. What could be the problem?

Which one is it? I have both the 360 and the 160 tuna blue and sometimes they will hum , pretty sure it's the fan. I just turn mine off for 10 mins or so and it stops. I also wipe them down and around the lenses because of the salt creep and spray.

160 tuna blue

Is it still humming?

Both of my 160s have a faint buzz from the fan that I can hear in a quiet room.

 

[Chrisfish]

Mine does that from time to time as I said and I just turn it off for a while and it stops. How long have you had them?

Very bothersome, I'm sensitive to certain frequencies I had to remove it from my bedroom.

could be the ball bearing in the fan. Suggestion is to pull the light down and get a can of compress air (for computers) and blow out the light. I try to do mine once a month to keep it nice and clean.

Could be but... I own two, bought new, and neither are completely silent. In my den I can't hear them from my seating area.... but in a bedroom I can see they may be bothersome.

Electronic fans even brand new can have bad ball bearings. I just put my ear next to my A360WE (which is over a year old) and I don't hear anything. Now I do hear my A150s when they are on and can easily see the noise causing issues for people.

Yes I've read the 360s are quieter than the 160s.
