Is the fan suppose to go on when running

It is far too dented up to use, but, if we ever need to replace a part of the motor, we'll be in good shape. Did yours arrive undented? When the second one came, the lid was dented on it, too, but my husband was able to use a rubber mallet and get most of the dent fixed. We just weren't up to complaining about it, but I did tell the company that they should take more care in packing and shipping their very nice product.

The fan only runs when the system is actively cooling to whatever temperature it is programmed to achieve. Once it hits the programmed temp, the fan kicks off, until the temp hits the upper limits of the parameter programmed. It should go off and on, as needed.

Sorry my comment was too short. The Fan comes on when its cooling but is quiet, no more noisy than a normal fridge. It has to work very hard here in the summer as it is in my garage and I live in south Texas and the item hasn't given any problems and as I said earlier is still quiet. Hope that this helps Andy C.

The fan runs while it is on. It is as loud as a small desk fan. Hope this helps.

The fan should be running but it should NOT be loud. I'd return it for a new one.

yeah, that would be extremely annoying :) I have mine running a PC case fan that blows on it while its on, then the built-in fan never runs, and PC fan is MUCHO quieter.

No, the fan is *always on* and while not loud, is a constant distraction (adding about 50 dB of noise). Really bad design, Drobo!

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.

The fan does make noise - it's not a silent runner. We use it in the basement as well.

Mine seems to always have the motor running. Mine works great and is not broke. It is not the quietest fan however I have nothing to worry about. I would call then manufacture for more information.

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

No it does not. The fan is either running all the time or running when the a/c or furnace is on.

Yes, the fan is turned on when you turn it on. I connect the inverter to a 12v battery and I hear the fan turn on.

This fan runs continuously while plugged in. It it not controlled by thermostat.

No, I have had my fan since last year and it works fine. It is a little noisy, but apparently they all are. We love it.

No, I have a similar situation. But the connection on this fan doesn't allow it to be that simple. Light is always on. It might have something to do with the components involved so maybe its possible but as far as i can tell for the fan to run the light has to be on also.

You can easily turn it on/off manually. When the fan is running it will only stay on for the set time interval.

I have not experienced any vibration, slight sound from the fan while running in the maximum speed.

The fan both pulls air in or pushes air out. The two fans are actually controlled separately so you can even have just one running. It is a great fan and moves a lot of air - don't let its size fool you.
