when the desired level of humidity is reached and the compressor shuts off, does the fan continue to run?

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.

When the desired humidity is reached and the compressor shuts off, the fan does continue to run. It will continue to cycle the air and if you have the uv light option turned on it will freshen the air as it cycles through the dehumidifier.

Yes, the fan continues to run. In addition it works great and is taking out a container of water per day.

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

No it stops and starts with the refrigeration system cycle. The fan will run for about 90 seconds after the compressor stops.

Yes the fan runs continuosly. Compressor runs as needed to dry the air. Is a very quiet unit.

There is a seperate power button/switch that controls the humidifier on the back of the fan. When the tank level gets low, it shuts off automatically.

I just purchased this in Oct 2014. The compressor comes on and off, but the fan never turns off. --for my dehumidifier.

Fan shuts down when humidity setting is reached. Unit is VERY noisy, to the degree that I don't run it when I'm working in the basement. It certainly is effective, however.

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)

The humidity level can be adjusted and the duration the fan stays on after being triggered is also adjustable, If the humidity raises above the set level the fan is activated. So yes you could keep the area at a specific level or below.

No. It is either on or off. When on, the fan blows continually and the compressor kicks in when the room temp exceeds the temp that you set it at. When the room cools to the set temp, the compressor shuts off and then just the fan blows. Hope this helped! I love this unit..it has performed flawlessly for several years now.

It has 6 fan settings actually. Low med high constant or auto where it'll shut off when it reaches the desired humidity level

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.

Yes. I own a couple units. I couldn't get the humidity high enough that it would ever shut off. Granted I try to place them near a return duct for it to benefit other areas of the home as well.

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.

If you leave the switch on "on" it is ready to respond whenever a preset humidity level is reached. Switch to "off" momentarily and back to "on" and it will run for a preset amount of time and automatically shut off. But, since the switch is still in the "on" position, it has reverted to humidity sensing mode and will automatically respond, once again. I have put 5 of these fans in rental units and I couldn't be happier with them. Be sure to check the screen over the sensing unit (where the LED light is) and remove dust so it will stay efficient.

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.

To be fair I haven't paid much attention to it, but yes as I recall the unit continues to run even after the humidity setting is reached.
