Does this compressor has auto-off function? Could it keep running 24/7?

Well yes... when it reaches 120 psi the pressure switch shuts off the compressor. Things that could keep it running is a malfunctioning pressure switch, leak in air line or the bleed valve on the bottom of the tank is left open. I'd check the bleeder valve first.

Yes it does, I love it, however it is a low volume compressor. For me it's perfect.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

No, unless you have a great deal of time on hand. This compressor has a very slow recovery rate even when plugged in. I t is not intended for that purpose.

The unit is whisper quiet. If you put it on auto fan, you hardly know the unit is on. The compressor does kick in, but it doesn't blast in and is actually no louder than a window unit.

The unit it's controlling is a 7 cubic foot chest freezer converted to a refrigerator. The compressor will run from a minute and a half to two minutes. Then it shuts off its off for about an hour and a half to two hours.

Yes, it turns off automatically. I have had this for almost a year and like it.

Yes, it automatically turns itself on and off. I have been very pleased with this unit.

Yes. If wired properly with the use of an outside temperature sensor it will bring on aux heat below a preset temp and turn off the compressor. It will also bring on aux heat when the outside unit goes into a defrost cycle, and you can manually bring on aux heat. I have two of these units.

Yes, once turned on it runs constantly until you turn off. I believe it is quieter than a hand drill.

Sounds like the compressor is shutting on and off in relation to the the unit's set temperature and the room temperature. This is normal for the air conditioner's compressor to shut on and off. It is a feature of the air conditioner that will help conserve energy.

I just purchased this in Oct 2014. The compressor comes on and off, but the fan never turns off. --for my dehumidifier.

I own one of these. It works great! I live in southern Louisiana, and it keeps all the tools in my shed dry. Yes... the fan turns off when the compressor turns off... unlike some of the latest window air conditioner units. The fan runs only when the thermostat "kicks" the compressor on. After the proper humidity percent that you have chosen is reached, the entire unit is quiet... with only the pilot light showing on the on/off switch. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend this unit. RF, Cut Off, LA

Yes the machine will automatically shut off, then start again when needed. Set the desired humidity level, fan speed, etc. and forget it... Well make sure the drain hose is attached and to a continuous drain otherwise you'll have to empty the bucket provided.

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

No. I have had this model for three years without any problem. Unlike Mr. Blake, my compressor runs quietly. One recommendation - when not in use unplug it. I have had past problems with compressors due to electric surges. Your question though raises my curiosity - why such an inquiry?

I can't think of a reason it wouldn't be. Maybe one, but probably two. As soon as the compressor cycles on, stop adding.

It will run while its dehumidifying and for a few minutes after the compressor shuts off; unless you have it on continuous mode.
