Does anyone else have this unit, and notice that it runs constantly? The Compressor is off outside, but the fan never turns off. Comments?

It is made that way. In cooling mode the fan runs but the fan consumes negligible amount of power and is made for that. Fan needs to run to continually sample the room air to decide when to come back on.

The fan should not run continuously. If the evap. Thermostat is satisfied with the room temperature the whole unit should stop running. Make sure your setting is not on DRY.

I don't know if this applies to your situation, but when I first installed mine and turned it on the unit had to run for about 3 or 4 minutes before the compressor kicked in. This has also been the case when I unplugged it to move to a different outlet. The operating manual does mention that this is normal.

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.

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?

The fan stays on all the time and there is no option to have it turn off when the compressor cycles.

Can anyone tell me how loud this unit is outside of the house? Our neighbor is complaining that our current A/C unit is keeping her awake. We're happy to buy a new A/C unit, but we are more concerned that it be quiet for our neighbor across the yard than for us inside the house.

We have had this unit for several months, (in our kitchen), and I have never heard the unit run. I've heard the question asked before, but we have not had any issues with noise or otherwise. Very happy with our purchase...

Probably a better question for the manufacturer, but I believe it's because the lower priced unit is not designed for continuous operation. Presumably the motor has to cool off.

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks

Allot of confusion here, I was told the fan runs all the time and since some say they claim their fan does not, I called Frigidaire and they say the FAN DOES RUN ALL THE TIME, only thing that cycles is the compressor. The fan is energy efficient and keeps air on the move doing a better job, but...their own manual does not state the fan operates all the time. Not sure what models some have that claim the fan turns off when the humidiy level is reached......seems to be allot of confusion over this.

I bought the machine because it is absolutely quiet. The hot is in fact hot and the cold is cold. Most coolers make too much noise when the compressor cycles off and on. Does not happen with this unit.

Seems like an odd question. I mean, you always try to keep things running to the newest condition possible. The start-up kit is a must and will get you up running smoothly. These are some top quality compressors, I've yet to have a problem with this.

Have not noticed on the money saver mode the compressor will cycle on and offer to maintain temperature while fan will continually run to circulate the cool air. A loud noise however would not be normal.

Not sure. Are there any obstructions to the outside venting? The cooling (compressor) will cycle on and off, but it shouldn't be doing that in short bursts.

Yes, the fan run constantly, even when not heating. It's actually nice (in my opinion) that it maintains a fairly constant state of white noise, rather than fully shutting down.

Yes it overheats i dont even use it anymore use my large compressor.aprox 10 minutes and it shuts down.hope this helps and good luck

Hmm, maybe there is an issue with your unit. Mine (un-altered) blows really hard. My dog and wife are scared of it!
