I have a New Elite Foreman,all the motors have a slight hum when idle is that normal, just curious it is not a problem as the hum is very faint and there are no alarms on motors?

New Elite Foreman, motors have a slight hum when idle is that normal?

Mark,
Yes, totally normal. It’s the holding current to maintain the position.
