Samsung DLP Fan Noise?!?!?!??!?!

408 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  doug_k
I have a HLN61xxx and every once in a while i would turn on the set and the fan creates a "buzzing" noise. The wierd thing is that before i would be able to find out what is causing it, it would stop. Any help???

It could either be a fan or the color wheel. I'm guessing the color wheel. I had mine replaced for a constant high pitched whine a while back. The new color wheel now buzzes slightly for the first couple of minutes at startup & then quiets.

If your set still has warranty left, I would just wait & see if it gets worse. If your warranty is almost gone I would put in a service call & see what they say.

Sometimes fans intermittently vibrate when they have a bad bearing... and it gets worse until they're unusuable. Or some screw could be loose, or there could be something drifting into the fan blades...
