Mine is making this annoying beeping sound. I'm not sure if something is wrong or what? It seems to do it on and off, but more so lately, it also does it with powers 7-9 but not with the lower level powers. I tried googling the issue but found nothing... just curious if anyone else has any thoughts/experience?

I have one but haven't had that experience. Call their customer service, they are really good. And holy nipples woman, you go up to a 9????

I've never had that experience with mine either. Any local lactation/baby stores that service them?

[GreyhoundsRUs]

I agree about calling customer service. The only thing I saw was that beeping could indicate mechanical failure.

Do you have it plugged in continuously? I had one that started acting funny, but I had my own little station set up where it was plugged in constantly. Apparently, it wasn't the best plan.

Well sometimes I feel like the suction isn't strong enough or its not working right so I turn it up.... but when it seems to be working right I keep it at a 6.

I don't keep it plugged in at all times. I only plug it in in the mornings when I pump at home.

I had issues with the "coupler" part leaking air (the large rounded piece that goes between the boob funnel and bottle and attaches to the hosing). After a few assembly/disassembly, the two pieces (front and back) didn't seal anymore.

"Boob funnel" ha ha - I never know how to describe the different pieces, and I think it may be a parts issue, because come to think of it, it might only beep when I am using one set of parts......

MN, were you properly fitted for the flange? (Boob Cup)

As far as the beeping, I would check the warranty - they should help in some way, IMO.

Fitted? Nope. Just used both sized flanges and thought I liked the larger size better..... I had no idea.....

[SoonerTexan]

I had to get a larger size. The 31 mm I think? And not because my boobs are huge, it really has more to do with how your breast tissue is vs size. It made a difference to try different sizes.

[MarissaNicole]

The 27 is what I use, I'm pretty sure the other size that came with the pump was smaller. I have small boobs but thought I got a better "pump" with the 27.

I took the parts apart and put back together and no beeping.... so far.

I also got a lot of extra parts. It was nice to have backups

[scrub-jay]

I bought 4 sets of extra parts (yay Target!) and had them in baggies. 1x before work, 3x @ work, 1x after work (using AM parts cleaned that morning). My pumping room was a glorified closet that they begrudgingly put a door lock on for me, so no sink. I loved having everything contained though. I too had to go up a size or two w/flanges (horns?) bc the smaller silicone ones hurt. If anyone needs those, I'd already bought 3 extra sets before I figured that out. Also, using lanolin or some sort of nursing balm (mine was Motherlove I think) while pumping helped me a bunch.
