acrylic question/popping noise under my bed

I have 2 questions. I am not a business owner, just a stay at home mom who has always had a tanning bed in her garage.

I currently have a Sunstar ZX32. I've never heard any noises while tanning. Lately, at 3 minutes into my session and 8 minutes into my session I hear a hollow thud underneath my bed. I'm afraid to continue tanning. It's pretty consistent which leads me to believe it is not just popping because of the heat expanding. Any ideas? I've had it for a year and a half and have never heard this noise. I usually tan 2times a week.

Another question is, I have a Puretan Aruba I need to list on craigslist. Its been sitting in my garage next to my current one, but it needs the top acrylic replaced.. where is the best site for acrylics? I'd love to find one that perhaps someone is getting rid of parts on a bed but I have no clue where to even look.

Thanks for any help!

Could be a bad fan vibrating.

If you need acrylics, give me a call.

Right. Vacuum fans, reboot and continue.

Re: acrylic question/popping noise under my bed

Thanks so much!

Does the acrylic expanding sound like its coming from under the bed? It really sounds like it's towards my feet in one certain spot underneath behind the bed skirting or whatever its called.

Also, how do you reboot? I've never done that before.

Thanks again!

(Brian, I actually do need a top acrylic for a Puretan Aruba I am selling, can you pm me how much it would cost?)

Never mind the reboot. Yes, anywhere the acrylic touches the bed can cause it to make that noise.
