    My Zilla Heating Pad is making a buzzing sound

    it does it every ones in a while.. i thought it was the snake but i thought it was really loud for my snake to do that.. so i traced and just a few i realized its my heat pad making that buzzing, hissing sound.. its pretty annoying, what to do with it?

    it does goes on and off, i guess it depends if its running or not.

    I've heard this from others before with other pads, but really, what is there in a pad that could emit noise?

    It usually means there may be a short in the wiring, probably where the wires connect to the pad itself. If you can't fix it yourself then it may be time for a new pad...

    thanks... i dunno if its safe dismantle this pad though, its pretty tightly sealed.

    i just had this pad for a bit over a month and its been doing this ever since :/ i guess i'll just buy a new one..

    Have you tried contacting Zilla directly and asking them about it? Maybe it's something common to their product?...
