Mine seems to run constant is't it suppose to shut off when reach desired humidity? My old one did

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

The fan runs continuously unless the tank is full which shuts the machine down. It's the nature of the beast. It does run quietly. I have been happy with mine so far.

This unit does not shut off the fan when in the operation/run mode(the compressor does shut off and on/cycles, as needed to keep the humidity at the desired setting)

I was in the basement when the fan did shut off. It started back up a little while later. So Yes, when it reaches the desired humidity level the unit does go silent and then start up when it needs. The unit is in the basement but it is no louder than a small fan running. There is no noise when the water drains from the unit.

The humidity sensor as well as everything else controlling this unit appears to be mechanical (no microelectronics such as computer control). Therefore it should restart instantly when power is reapplied. We have never run it with the humidity turned up full, but at 80% of full scale the house humidity goes over 50%. I really think if you set the humidity control to full, you don't have to worry about it turning itself off.

There are two settings. interval and continuous. Do you have it on the continuous setting? How long does it run before shutting off? If its on continuous and water remains when isdone running, I would say maybe is not working properly.

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.

Bought one some time ago, what I found out is the air flow is low volume. Hold your hand over the top and you will feel a slight air flow.I installed a small computer system (thermal logger) and download the data every 6 months to check on the temperature and humidity. My readings are consistant year round. hope this helps

Yes ,Once the dirsired hummidity is reach the unit will turn off and will run again when the humidity rises...I love this unit......Also you can set the timer to run for 1,2,3 hours and more....and then the unit will shut completely off...

It does run for a time when the condenser is off but it stops entirely when it reaches the desired humidity. It is highly efficient and makes a discernible difference compared to other dehumidifiers I have owned. The water container fills to the top and is clumsy to carry. Other then that I have not had any problems with the unit.

My recollection is that there are buttons with a digital readout on top of the humidifier which allows you to set the humidity level or to turn it to run continuously. I set mine for continuous operation. Hope this helps.

You can set it to run anywhere from 1 - 12 hours or continuously. It will cycle when it reaches the humidity % set-point.

If you have not adjusted the Humidity setting to a higher percentage, the fan will continue to run. I had to set my fan to around 80% before the fan would stop running continuously. The actual humidity setting you select will depend on where you live and the ambient average humidity for that area. You should plan to go beyond the average ambient humidity to prevent the fan from continuously running as the humidity levels fluctuate day-to-day.

If the setting dials are working? The air humidity should trigger your fan....if not you may seek a replacement unit....Thank you..11/23/2013

Charles,The unit has been a little disappointing, but not enough to return it. The humidity it measures is about 15% off, so I just compensate for that. If you set it for 60%, the compressor and fan will run until it reaches 57%, which seemed a bit odd to me. The unit does not measure temp, as was advertised. The fan does shut off once it has overachieved on the desired setting.

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs.Any suggestions experts?

dear God return it if you can!!! I keep mine on 50-55% humidity. Not a temp. but a percentage of humidity. bad designed product, I exchanged mine 3 times in the last 3 years at home depot.....

No, the fan does not run all the time. Once you have set your humidity level the unit will only activate to maintain the the desired level.

I push the + and - buttons on the top to set the humidity level. Make sure your machine is on "normal". If it is set to turbo or continuous, it will run continuously instead of automatically shutting off when the humidity is low, so the + and - buttons don't work.
