When cooling the reservoir fills up within 30 minutes and the unit shuts off. Any suggestions please?

My guess is the exhaust fan is not working. The air conditioner uses the heated exhaust air to evaporate the water. Make sure hot air is blowing outside. A second possibility is the unit is not level and it is tipping towards the shutoff switch. The water fills that area before it can be evaporated. Hope these suggestions work.

Sounds like you have very high humidity inside and it's too humid outside to vent most of your condesate. Make sure all windows and doors are closed (except for your vent). You may want to consider also using a dehumidifier to help bring down the relative humidity inside the house.Otherwise, it could indicate a problem with the unit. Have you called the support line?

Mine has only filled up one time. I am currently not drawing air from outside, just exhausting to outside and it is working well.

Sounds like something got messed up during transport. I would have it sent back and get a new one.

I have not encountered the above problem with my unit. It does a satisfactory job of drawing the room temp down, but I open the sliding glass doors and let my home central air help cool the room. My whynter unit is used to supplement the home central air in one room only.

More details are needed to assist you, please contact Whynter so that we may discuss how the unit is set up and what the ambient conditions are at your location.customer.service@whynter.com

The fitting has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is internal. I believe it is the diagram which will not let the pump shut off once it is activated. Once the water is drained and the float lowers/returns to the normal "off" position, the water never turns off.

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.

I do not have the unit vented and use the reservoir to collect water. When the rest of wine here is full the unit shuts off. You can also program it to run a certain amount of time and shut off. I don't think it shuts off when the selected humidity level is reached, but I'm not sure about that. So sorry I can't be more helpful. But I do love these units :-)

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

Sounds like there is some type leak in your system where the pump has to keep trying to pump water because it can't make a complete seal when it tries to shut off. Wish I could give you a better answer.

Sounds like you got a faulty unit. I've been using mine all summer, never had that problem.

Can't help you. I still get the same output after about 60 gallons of use. Sorry.

I run mine on the intermittent setting (it runs for 6 hours)... approximately half the water is gone. I always reflll it before starting it again, so not sure exactly. Based on what I've observed, maybe 12 hours? It automatically shuts off after 6, or 3 (if on constant).

Probably due to the cycle time. If you shut it off and let it cool down a little while inflating it should be fine.

I usually let the cold water run after it shuts of for 30 sec then shut off the water to it for another 30 sec to let it cool. Then I can turn it back on for another 20 min.

The water reservoir sits in the back of the unit. Water is pumped into the reservoir and it must be emptied by taking the reservoir and dumping the collected water into the bathtub or sink. The Air Conditioner will stop cooling when the reservoir is full and will not resume cooling until the reservoir is empty again. I would recommend going with a window unit if it is possible for you.

As noted on other responses, unplug at the bottom back and tilt the machine. To be honest I have not run it long enough to build-up any water due to poor performance.

Same issue here. I'm fairly sure that mine is overloaded (3/4 or 1 HP pump) and the Triac (electronic) switch inside gets too hot and fails to turn off. Unplugging it for a while to cool down makes it work again for a while. At low duty cycle (off a lot more than on) it works OK. I can't find one that works as well that is rated for lager pumps.

Restart it. But it has A 180 min setting You have to fill it up with water anyway

It shuts off after the water level is too low. Just add more water to keep using, or dump leftover water if you won't be using for a few days.

I bought 2. One of them does it after it warms up. Turning it off and letting it cool fixes it temporarily.If it is under warranty, return it. If not, don't buy it again, get something else. I am getting a Crown 280 amp and a 28m mixer for my solution instead of two of the PT510s. It costs a lot more, but I hope it works longer.
