Does fan shut off with compressor or run continuous
1608848
No, it does not. The fan runs continuously. Because of this, it should have it's Energy Star rating removed in my opinion.

It runs continuously. I have a device that measures electricity costs and if the fan runs 100% (without the compressor turning on) I am showing only a cost of about $2-$3 per month. A lot of models seem to be this way; the claim is that it keeps the air circulating and makes the unit more efficient to run. If it prolongs the life of the device; it will be worth it in the end.

One problem I had was it didn't come with a manual. So I don't know how the humidity level indicator works.

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

The condenser turns off when the desired level is reached, but not the fan - it runs continuously. Can't say what happens after a power outage - haven't experienced one yet.

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.

Continuous. Have had this for 2 1/2 years and run it hard on a daily basis with no problems. Best portable compressor I've owned.

the fan's function when compressor is running is to circulate air. When compressor stops, fan's function is to quickly dry condensed moisture off of the coils. Different functions, may explain the different fan speeds.

My need for the fan is for an audio amplifier that during warmer days would automatically shut down after 20 to 30 minutes. I'd wait 20 minutes and i was able to turn the amp back on. Since it was an over heating problem I installed the fan. I connected the fan's power cable to the amplifier so when I turn on the amp the fan goes on, amp off fan off. This works for me, maybe might work for you instead of running 24/7.

Well they serve two different functions - the timer turns the a/c cool on for a specific amount of time so when that goes on and off yes the compressor shuts down and turns on; when the thermostat hits the temperature you set it at the compressor slows down and the fan is still going until it drops again then it turns the compressor on again to maintain the temperature you want - just like central air does.

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

The fan runs constantly to move air across the humidity sensor. The compressor kicks on and off as necessary to remove the moisture.

It does not have an automatic cut off when the desired setting is reached. It is stated in the product instructions that the fan runs continuously. It is a very effective energy star rated unit and the fan is quiet.

Hi Randy,In the Money Saver Mode everything cycles off with the thermostat. Otherwise the compressor cuts off and the fan continues to run. As RLee said, in the Money Saver Mode the unit will turn on for a few seconds periodically to check the room temp to see if the unit needs to cycle on.

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.

When unit reaches temp. It will shut off completely. Every few minutes the fan comes on and checks air temp. If it ok, unit shuts off again, if not compressor starts until it reaches temp again. As for size, look on LG website.

Yes the fan on my unit runs 24-7-365. Only the compressor cycle on and off as needed to maintain it set point. You do get a hi low control button for the fan.

No. It is either on or off. When on, the fan blows continually and the compressor kicks in when the room temp exceeds the temp that you set it at. When the room cools to the set temp, the compressor shuts off and then just the fan blows. Hope this helped! I love this unit..it has performed flawlessly for several years now.

operates on a twenty minute duty cycle so that means you can run compressor for 20 minutes then you need to shut off to keep from damaging it due to overheating ,,,as for cfm this is a small compressor that will put out 260psi max it does not produce air fast enough to have a cfm rating ...hope this answers your question .....if you want to ask me more questions please ask for Ken Hopper ( hopnotes@hotmail.com )
