why does my eufy floodlight make a constant buzzing or humming sound? it’s driving me nuts.

— asked by Jamie

Quick answer: That's the internal cooling fan running continuously, which is not normal for this model. It indicates the unit is overheating.

Diagnosis

That's the internal cooling fan running continuously, which is not normal for this model. It indicates the unit is overheating.

How to Fix It

This is a hardware flaw requiring a replacement. The fix is to get a new unit from Eufy. Steps: 1) Note the serial number in the app. 2) Record an audio clip of the buzz. 3) Contact Eufy support via the app with the evidence; they’ll process a warranty swap.

If That Didn't Work

In rare cases, a firmware bug can cause the fan to stay on. Try a hard reset: hold the sync button on the unit for 10 seconds until you hear a prompt, then reconfigure in the app. If the buzz persists, it’s definitely hardware.

Heads Up

Don’t ignore this. A constantly running fan points to a failing thermal management system, which can shorten the lifespan of the internal components dramatically.
