Have a heater like this (not this exact model) and ran it pretty constantly through the winter. Unplugged it, had it off for about a week. Today it started having a clicking noise come from it, similar but not the same as the sound you get when you first start one up after it's been off for a long time. No power, etc.



Is this something to worry about? What's going on?

Is "No power, etc." your way of saying that it's not turned on?

>>2608696 (OP)

maybe it's the bimetal because it's not running at full power

>>2608696 (OP)

what kind of clicking noise exactly?

if you ran it through the winter it could be that it never got up to full temp and was always 'on' losing heat to the room, now its summer it doesn't need to run constantly to keep at the set temperature.

the clicking could be ocassionally one click which is the thermostat cycling which is fine or a series of clicks which is the expansion/contraction as it heats/cools which shouldn't really be happening in an oil rad of massive thermal mass it should be able to maintain reasonable steady state.

Email the manufacturer. Especially if it's still under warranty

That's normal. It's the oil inside heating up. It should go away after a couple of minutes. You probably didn't notice it until now because it had never completely cooled down.
