If the Model 5250 is left on without water, will it shut off by itself?

When the water in the tank is empty and the water in the heating chamber is almost empty, the automatic shut off will activate.

My has thermal protection, shut off when hot and run when cooled down. Has no manual reset so it cycles on and off till self destructs. Do not let it run dry.

I'm not sure why that happens to you. I know that it turns off when the water is gone. I have three machines and none of them do what you are saying. I would just contact the company.

I have not had it shut off It has run dry - pumping for several hrs with no problem

If you mean "operate without water" then the answer would be no. I did try to pump without water and didn't damage the water-pumper.

No because this model has a pressure switch so it turns off once the tap or valve is closed. I run mine for a washing machine and it runs fine and turns off when needed.

Mine has never turned on automatically and so far it hasn't turned off automatically either however logically you would turn it off when the water is spent.M

Unsure. I wouldn't leave it unattended--unsure of what would happen once all the water boils out.

No, it will not automatically power itself off but it will go into deep sleep mode to save the power after xx minute without any opeartion.

No. Turn on the power switch and go. Automatically shuts off when water tank runs dry.

It shuts off on its own when the water temperature reaches the temperature you set it on

I tested mine without water and would not work. Took it all apart before I realized the fuse is somewhat hidden in the handle. I had blown the fuse when I tried to run it without water.

Personally I wouldn't. I would turn off water and heat tape. If you go away and if this should stop working, or power outage then you come home to much bigger problems.

Yah it will shut off of left unattended for long periods. Not sure of the exact cutoff time period

Usually you can turn off behind the fridge. I replaced mine without turning off the water, I am not saying that you shouldn't turn off the water.

I have not had that shut off problem but remember it has two tanks. It will run until both tanks are empty.

Yes. The steamer automatically shuts off when the water level gets too low.
