Buzzing Shaver Socket

Oct 14, 2007 6 Replies

Hi All,



I have a shaver socket in my bathroom that has the electric toothbrush charger plugged into it and after an hour or so it starts to buzz like mad. So much so that we've had to plug the toothbrush into another socket elsewhere. Any ideas what it could be and how to remedy it?



Cheers,


Transformer laminations rattling. Replace it.

OK, if it was mine I might try to damp the vibration with copious amounts of Araldite, but when giving advice to others I like to promote best practice.

Aerosol varnish reaches the parts others don't. This has stopped numerous transformers buzzing over the years, normally cheap and nasty ones found in the more "cost effective" types of equipment.

Ah good, the buzz *is* just annoying (as I thought) and *not* a safety issue I didn't know about.
