    Where you'll find it due to a vibrating front cover... :smile:
    I doubt it from what our kid has said. Imagine phone on low vib mode, placed on a sofa the phone vibes and you are in another room, it goes buzz/humm humm just like a mobile for no more than a minute after hot water is turned off
    By removing the cover, we are hoping to get near the location but are aware there may live currents in there so will be extra careful. If I get more info, I will post it here. We were hoping it would just go away. Good thing, its working fine other than the odd noise for a few secs.
    Thanks

    I was teasing :smile:

    Obvs take care, tho' there shouldn't be obviously 'accessible' live parts inside. Some will say you shouldn't be going 'in' there, but you need to make your own judgement. 

    If there are seals around any panels, then double-care.

    No worries, I'm a bit slow on stuff like that :)
    No seals as we've had the cover off before when they were getting a new kitchen.
    Thanks for your help/
