Does the fan shut off when the main heat or air does?

Yes it does. There are 4 settings. OFF, ON, Heat and Cool. With the ON setting the fan remains on. Use HEAT in winter or COOL in the summer. Then adjust the knob for how hot or cold it has to be before the fan kicks on.

This fan has a heat and cool selection. The dials are similar to the windshield wiper settings in a car, with the broader selection staying on longer and the narrower selection stays on until your temperature is met. I leave mine on fan all the time because it will continue to pull the air up into the room, which is on the third floor, therefore hot in the summer and freezing in the winter - it helps about 10 degrees both seasons.Hope this answer helps

No, the fan stays on. In heat mode it turns off. This works the same way identically as on my Friedrich unit with simular specs (but this one is more powerful)

It has two knobs on top...one controls how hot you want it to get before it automatically stops. It will keep the room at that temp by automatically turning off and on. The right knob turns it on and has 3 settings, fan, low and high.;

Thhe fan has a "mode" selector of off,on,heat & cool. In the "on" mode, the fan will run continuously.

I just received mine June 1, 2015. The fan does shut off, but only for about 30 seconds when the compressor is not running. I would rather it ran all the time as it is hard on the fan to start and stop. It could cause premature fan failure. Unit does a great job. I had 79% humidity and down to 51% in one day in a new basement.

No, just on and off. I would say compared to most fans it's basically just on low but moves air around a room nicely.

Hi Donna. When it reaches a set temperature, the AC turns off, but the fan stays on. This way, if the temperature goes up again, the AC will turn back on.

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.

Yes, the fan runs until it reaches your selected level, then it cuts off and will later come back on when the temp drops. We love the heater. Good luck

It does not actively cool the air like an air conditioner would. Instead, it will automatically shut off if the air temperature reaches the threshold temperature you set.Example: You go to bed and it's 78 degrees, so you run your fan to cool you off. A few hours later, it drops to 74 degrees (the set threshold), so the fan shuts it self off.I'm not sure if it will turn back on if the temperature goes above the selected threshold.

Yes fan only runs when its heating or cooling. Unless you have it in the fan settling.

Does not turn off automatically. You would always know it was on because the only way it heats, is to also blow air.

Contrary to what others have answered, the fan runs continuously on the 2 units I own. It doesn't matter if the heat bulbs are on or not, and it doesn't matter if the room has warmed up to the selected temperature. I'm not sure if mine are defective or if mine are older models without a fan shut off feature. I bought them from family farm and home in late 2013. The continuously running fan is one feature that I do NOT like about these units.

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

The fan shuts off immediately. It is a regular bathroom fan. I have a 70 cfm, of this model installed, and it shuts down immediately.

Yes. I appreciate the built-in safety regulator, but this model turns off when it's not overheating at all -- and, even if it were, the coils should shut down, not the fan. Without the fan to dissipate heat, it takes even longer for the heater to come back on. Very disappointing.

No, it does not have to run continuously but only as it is "connected" to the "heat" or "cool" modes. There is a selection on the remote that deals solely with "fan" - on, off, or auto. I am responding from memory. I have it installed on the Mr. Slim Mitsubishi which is in my aviary -- but I recall there is a mode dealing only with the fan. However, if the heat or air is on, then the fan runs in tandem, as required, for either of those two settings. It is great because I can set the temperature and simply leave it.
