Does the compressor &amp; the fan shuts off on energy save mode when the room reach set temperature? or only the compressor shuts off &amp; the fan continues

The compressor always shuts off if the temperature is reached in any mode, in energy saver mode the fan shuts off as well.

Both of them turn off once the set temperature is reached while in energy saver mode

It goes to the current temperature of the room. We always set ours at 80 so that it can run until the room is pretty toasty and then it shuts itself off and turns back on whwn the room gets under 80.

Sorry to say the fan stays on unit you turn it off. I also was unaware of this till I got it home.

I never noticed an automatic shut off anywhere on the switch. At night, I turn it on using the high switch then turn it to low and go to sleep and the fan runs all night long no problem. I would imagine if there is an automatic shut off it's in case the switch over heats or shorts out.

No, the one I received has only a low and high setting. I also have 20,000 and 30,000 BTU versions and they sort of have a thermostat. You set it to a level between 1 and 5 (low and high) and then it turns off when it reaches it's temp... but there is no indicator to tell what temp that might be. it's a trial and error sort of thing and it changes with the temp in the room. If it's real cold, then I have to turn it up. The fans are nice for distributing the warm air and can be set come on when needed rather than running the whole time.

To add to Rachel's comment, the fan will stay on for a short while when the unit is shut off (or it is automatically shut off via the thermostat). This may be a safety feature to cool the inside down and/or extract the remaining heat.

The fan shuts off with the compressor. Bought this to replace a four year old unit from Lowes that ran continuously. This Keystone works great, I should have bought it a year ago. It dries the air quickly then cycles on & off as needed. Very quiet compared the old one.

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

Hi Donna. When it reaches a set temperature, the AC turns off, but the fan stays on. This way, if the temperature goes up again, the AC will turn back on.

wait...think it might shut off fan if you hit the humidity level u request...could set it low enuf and i guess it would never reach shutoff

It does not actively cool the air like an air conditioner would. Instead, it will automatically shut off if the air temperature reaches the threshold temperature you set. Example: You go to bed and it's 78 degrees, so you run your fan to cool you off. A few hours later, it drops to 74 degrees (the set threshold), so the fan shuts it self off. I'm not sure if it will turn back on if the temperature goes above the selected threshold.

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.

It's in the remote, you can set the remote to a certain temp, when that low temp is reached in the room at the remote the fan will turn off automatically, when the temp goes back above the set temp the fan will go on again by itself, of course you can override this feature and have the fan just stay on no matter what the temp is.

Yes when you use the heater. It will shut off when the room reaches the temp that you set the fan on and than it will come back on when the room starts to cool off. I used mine in my camper and I love it!

No, the fan stays on. In heat mode it turns off. This works the same way identically as on my Friedrich unit with simular specs (but this one is more powerful)

I believe the reason there is some confusion around the fan running when the compressor shuts down is due to the unit killing the compressor when the coils freeze. If you have a basement that is in the 60's, often times the coils will freeze and the dehumidifier will shut off till they defrost. I've noticed it once over the last week.In short, when the humidity hits the set amount, fan and compressor will shutoff. When dehumidifying, the compressor may shutoff to defrost the coils and the fan will continue to run (helping to defrost the coils).
