Does the fan run all the time or only when it is needed to cool the unit?

Fan does run at all times, however it appears to be thermostat controlled and will only really spin up when under load. Even then though when I am using this unit its pretty quiet and never really gets hot.

I don't believe so but to be honest I have never heard the fan. So if it does run, it is very quite. I re-purposed the supply a little over a month ago and it is under a 28 amp continuous load. It is only warm to the touch and it has been rock solid. I'm considering a second one and I would most certainly purchase the same model again.

Fan runs only when needed. I have 2 units and both are very quiet even with fan running.

Mine runs all the time but does have a constant load on it of about 5 amps. Have had no problems with it and plan to buy another.

I've had this unit for two days and the compressor turns on and off but the fan runs non-stop, despite being at the selected humidity level. The instruction manual says, "When the setting humidity is reached, the unit will shut off automatically. For some models, the fan motor will continue operating."

no it only sets the fan to be on all the time or only when the heat or ac kicks on

About every 9 months depending on how much it runs and fan speed. We use at lower fan speed majority of the time.

Yes. In cooling mode fan runs in fan only mode, when the compressor shuts off.

I believe with this series the fan will only run when it's needed. This conserves power usage and allows the unit to run quieter.

Is there any confirmation from the manufacturer that the fan should be always on or not?My fan does not running at all when I charge my battery. Really afraid that the charger could be getting to hot or burnt out...

The fan on my unit comes on as soon as I plug it in. I assume it is malfunctioning! If you operate it without the fan running it will probably overheat and burn out the components.

You can run the unit all the time. The automatic shutoff time is a choice. I usually turn mine on and off with the remote.

It is made that way. In cooling mode the fan runs but the fan consumes negligible amount of power and is made for that. Fan needs to run to continually sample the room air to decide when to come back on.

No, it does not. The fan runs continuously. Because of this, it should have it's Energy Star rating removed in my opinion.

Hello, the fan always runs, it may adjust speeds for tempature but it never stops or the card would overheat very fast.

If you put the fan in the program mode the fan runs when the system runs, also if the system does not need to run the fan will run for 15 twice an hour to keep the air from getting stale.

Yes, the fan run constantly, even when not heating. It's actually nice (in my opinion) that it maintains a fairly constant state of white noise, rather than fully shutting down.

That depends on what you are doing in the room. I leave mine on all the time, in ECO mode. It's off most of the time (the fan is off), and it will turn on when it needs to, and turn on high if it detects extra dirty air, until the air is clean again, then it goes to low mode or off.

the fan will run automatically when it is powered on, there is no sensor or speed controller. There is no separate switch for the fan. Cooling is not exceptional but decent enough

Just bought one. The fan does NOT run all the time. Fan always runs when compressor runs and sometimes runs when compressor is off. Fan shuts off soon after compressor does, but periodically runs so that humidity sensor can sample the room air. If air is too moist, the compressor kicks in. If not, fan turns back off. Sensible design.
