when the unit cycles off, does the fan still run, or is it completely off?

Fan shuts down when humidity setting is reached. Unit is VERY noisy, to the degree that I don't run it when I'm working in the basement. It certainly is effective, however.

When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run. However it has a very annoying design fault. Say you set the RH (relative humidity) at 50%. Once the dehumidifier reaches it, it will then turn off, but it is usually for less than a minute, since it doesn't take long for the humidity to climb back up. It doesn't sound like a big deal, until you realize how loud the machine is and how distracting it is when it is going on and off every 3 minutes. But if you leave in a very humid place (I live in Miami, FL) it is always running until the bucket fills up.... so no annoying on/off for me. When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run.

We run it with the bucket, not a drain hose, so when the bucket is full it shuts off. I've not noticed it off otherwise. It's humid here, so we fill a bucket every day. Sometimes twice a day. Sorry, this probably doesn't help you with the question you want answered.

There is a sound of either the fan or the pump after you turn off the unit by hand. This is normal as the unit de- ices or continues to pump water from the tank if you have the self drain hose hooked up.

When the compressor stops, the whole unit stops. I would prefer the fan to keep running because it appears that a volume of dehumidified air stays in the vicinity of the sensor making it appear that the room humidity is lower than it actually is. When everything stops, moist air moves in from the surrounding area and causes the dehumidifier restart within a few minutes. I placed a small fan near mine to prevent the accumulation of dry air. That seems to work by causing the dehumidifier to run until most of the air in room has been treated. I shouldn't have to do that, but the dehumidifier is better than any other I have tried.Ken When the compressor stops, the whole unit stops.

It must turn off, because when I checked it recently, I thought it wasn't running because I didn't hear anything. It had simply reached the proper humidity level.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

The fan runs continuously, even after the unit has reached its desired temperature. There is no way to turn that feature off.

I think it depends on the mode you have selected. Once our room is heated to the desired level, we usually choose a manual mode so we do not have the fan cycling. I suggest trying different modes, and if fan cycles on and off in each mode, you may have a problem. Good luck.

I've had mine for almost a year, and it is still running. I haven't had any issues with it. And it is still as quiet as the day I got it.

To add to Rachel's comment, the fan will stay on for a short while when the unit is shut off (or it is automatically shut off via the thermostat). This may be a safety feature to cool the inside down and/or extract the remaining heat.

Yes. The fan runs after 100% charge as the unit then enters conditioning mode.

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...

WARNING: Fans on units built after 2014 designed to NEVER shut off!I just bought this (April 2015) and the fan never shuts off -- it runs all the time regardless of whether the compressor shuts off. Even 3 hours after the compressor shuts off, it will run.The only way to stop the fan is to put it on the timer... but that only means it will run for the length of time you set on the time. Then it will never turn on again.

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."

The booster fan runs continuously when it is turned on. In my situation, having continuous operation when my furnace wasn't running created a negative pressure on my HVAC ductwork, drawing in cold air via my air-to-air exchange system (defeated the whole purpose of my purchase). If this unit would have cycled on/off with my furnace, I would probably still have it (I returned it).

It will run continuously if left in the on position on a normal switch. I think you may be inquiring about meeting continuous ventilation requirements, which if so, you would couple this fan with a cvc 100 which will run the fan continuously at 20% power and then when you turn on actually activat e the unit via switch you will move to %100 for 20 min and revert back to 20% after that time period is up.

I've had mine since November, the only issue i have with mine is that one of the smaller fans sticks/freezes on start up. With a small "bump" it works fine. Other than that i have no other problems with my unit.

No, just the on and off and there is a time...You control oscillating by the up and down switch at the top back of the fan.and by the way, the fan didn't last very long -- don't get it.

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

I set up my AC, tried your situation and have the same results, I think it is working fine. I would suggest that you wait for the cooling temp get to the point that the compressor turns off and see if the fan cycles like it should. Good luck.

The fan should run when the unit is on. Contact the manufacture for specific operation questions.
