This may be a dumb question (but cut me some slack LOL) how do you get the fan not to heat? I tried to get the fan to blow cool air and couldn't.

Given your E-Mail I tried to set the temperature below room temperature and discovered that the fan shuts OFF if the selected temperature is below room temperature. Since it is sold as a heater, I suspect that fan without heat is not possible. However, I bought it as a heater only to begin with and suspect that fan without heat is not possible. As a result of my experiment above I now suspect that the internal thermostat allows the fan to come ON only if heat is required to achieve the selected temperature.

I called Dyson about this (before I nearly returned it). During most warm months, you must lower it's setting to 32 deg to get cold air/airflow at all. Otherwise, It acts as an automatic heater, coming on and blowing hot air only when the temperature of the room is lower than the setting you selected. There may also be a slight delay before airflow begins as it can take a few minutes to calibrate.I was a little annoyed, I would have expected a 'just blow air' mode to act more like their other fan models.

It sounds like you have received a broken unit. The left button should turn the large center fan on ( it does on mine). I have had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it works just fine. I was waiting a little longer before i wrote my opinion on this product,for me its: so far so good.

I asked the same question to manufacturer; they said yes it was normal. Sometimes my fan would not even start until there was enough heat generated for it kick in. I can only surmise that the machine is smarter than me!

I have no fan noise. My old HP fan sounded like a dying hard drive. The laptop heated up to painful levels. The biggest thing I notice about this is there is no sound, no heat. I wouldn't mind some heat this winter. :) Perhaps you can return that one and get a new one. I think you have a dud.

That's a new one on me. I haven't dug mine out for the summer just yet. I don't recall if there is a reset button anywhere on either the fan or the remote. Is your's brand new? I can't think of what to try. Maybe unplug it and pull out battery. Plug it back in and see if it works manually. Then see if it will shut off using the remote. I hope you can get it going.. I like mine...

In my opinion, the product that you have is defective and should be returned for replacement. Mine does not do this, but I have had the same thing happen with another brand that I used in the past. Or, is it possible that the hot air brush is too hot and needs to cool down before it restarts!! Hope this helps!!

Heh. Dead silent.Why? the fan is not running! Ever! There is a switch in the back for ECO mode. Unless the power supply gets hot, it does not spin the fan. Since I have a GTX980 with its lower power draw (Haswell o/c to 4.3GHz, air cooled), the power draw has never been enough to make the fan spin that I have ever seen. The fan is on the top so the heat can go into my case through the fan mesh and get sucked out by my case fans. Works well and the top of the power supply is barely warm.

when plugged mine in, the bottom fan should start up automatcally. it doesnt have a turn off or on, just plug it in or unplug. i would return it asap. :-)

I had same problem. The fan was not working proper. The company sent me a new one and has been working fine ever since

Not the fan, the heatsink. My heatsink did. I took it off, and using my own, but probably not a big difference.

The fan is actually pretty quiet so that really isn't going to work out, you're going to have to try a different method. I'm sorry about that.

There's a dial that turns on the fan first then the next two settings are heat. Then you turn it all the way back to turn it off. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

I would love to help - but mine was put in by a contractor (on several tries) who said the fan/vent/heater was a b---- to put in, even with the special wall switch. I hope you get it figured out, because the fan/vent/heater is wonderful and I am glad I purchased it.

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.

This happened to me as well.... unit heats up fan doesn't begin then unit turns off with hot water in pot. Seems like a fuse problem where the fan isn't able to detect the temperature and begin cooling. Probably need to get a new one. I called Westinghouse and they said that they discontinued the product for good reason. Also, remember that the charging and electrical units are all in the pot so do not get that area wet otherwise it will likely mess up the electrical components. This happened to me in less than 1 year! So go figure. Good luck

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!
