The unit has shut off twice now at around the 36-40 hour mark. Just recently it started making a loud grinding noise and the motor got very hot. I stopped the unit and noticed there was water between the LCD and the face plate. Unfortunately it no longer responds to touch making it completely inoperable. I have already applied for an exchanged unit. Here’s the cool noise. 🙂 [- YouTube](http://youtu.be/oBACg6J-XNg) ---

Anova has replaced this unit and the new one shows up tonight. Thanks again for the support! ---

Mine’s doing something similar. Was the rubber part just above the skirt really hot? I burned my hand a bit getting it out of the holder.
