does this unit turn off when humidity level reached and does it restart after power outage
1551872
I don't know about power outages, but runs all of the time even when desired level is accomplished.

The condenser turns off when the desired level is reached, but not the fan - it runs continuously. Can't say what happens after a power outage - haven't experienced one yet.

This unit runs 24 hours a day if the bucket it not full or if you run the hose. This unit ruined my carpet as the bottom burnt it. I had two at the same time and it happened to both. Don't get one.

This is the poorest excuse for a dehumidifier I have ever owned, the warranty is even worse.

The only time the unit turns off is when the bucket is full of water. It does restart on it's own after a power outage.

Turns off when reservoir is full or humidity level is reached and does NOT turn on after power outage. I run it until it fills in a very humid environment.

Yes once the humidty level is reached the unit shuts off I empty the container push it back in & the unit starts up automaticly ......... I'm very happy with my humidfier

The condenser shuts off when it reach's the setting of the humidity but the fan runs all the time. When the humidity gets high then your setting the condenser will start. If you read the manual when the power shuts off and then comes back on it will go to default setting much lower then you may have set.

To quote the manual, "In case there is no water in the bottle, the humidifier will automatically shut off. Once the water is refilled, the humidifier will start working again." Which is exactly what mine does.

Turn Machine off, unplug, empty, then plug in, turn on and it will automatically start after a few seconds. It also will shut off when humidity level reached and auto restart itself when level rises.

Yes, the machine shuts off when the dial setting is reached. It then turns back on when the humidity rises. Very good machine.

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...

I just checked my Dehumidifier unit and the Fan does shut off when the humidity is reached. My unit is running very well. I had two 40 Pint units and replaced them with one 30 pint unit in just the one room in the basement and it is easily maintaining the humidity level around 40 - 45%. Another point I will mention is that I received 2 checks today for the units that were recalled due to overheating. My 2 units did not overheat, but I guess it might have happened eventually. They were a few years old.

It doesn't shut off when it reaches the desired humidity level, it shuts off if you set it with the timer. It also shuts off when the decanter reaches the maximum amount of water it holds. It works great, so far we are very satisfied with this unit.

Unclear how to do this. I have accidentally set the humidity level by fiddling around when the unit is first powering up, but since it isn't possible (as far as I can see) to discern the setting by looking at the display - good luck. (But it does run very quietly, and since I don't have mine on continuous drain - I empty the tub daily - it doesn't matter...)

When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run. However it has a very annoying design fault. Say you set the RH (relative humidity) at 50%. Once the dehumidifier reaches it, it will then turn off, but it is usually for less than a minute, since it doesn't take long for the humidity to climb back up. It doesn't sound like a big deal, until you realize how loud the machine is and how distracting it is when it is going on and off every 3 minutes. But if you leave in a very humid place (I live in Miami, FL) it is always running until the bucket fills up.... so no annoying on/off for me. When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run.

With unit powered on, the display should show the current humidity % of the area around it. By pressing the " - " OR " + " button near the display once it will switch from the current area % to the humidity level setting. Then continue to press either the " - " OR " + " button to reach the desired % setting. Remember, the unit has a +/- 5% thermostat variance so whatever the desired setting, the unit will automatically start/stop within +/- 5% of that setting.

Yes, Auto shut off when the water level is full. It even has a code that comes up on the display so you know it's off due to being full and not some other failure. This unit has the ability to drain through a hose so you don't have to use auto shut off if you have a drain available. Another feature is you set the humidity level you want (in % humidity) and it shuts off when you reach that level

Yes the fan does. The unit does not turn on and off but the fan runs continually. The dehumidifier only runs when the humidity is above the setting you input.

Hi Gary: Don't know what a humidity on setting is.... this is an exhaust fan, when turned on it runs and when turned off it doesn't. We are very happy with it, since it is extremely quiet and does the same job as the noisy fan we previously had.

I am convinced that the fan should shut off periodically, although there seems to be no way to know when it will shuit off or how long it will be off-just that it does. Don, your fan may be shutting off at night when you are asleep or when you are not home to notice it shutting off. It's funny because you are concerned that the fan runs continuously and my concern was that my dehumidifier fan did not run continuously. The first rep's statement that the fan needs to run inorder for the unit to monitor humidity made me think I had a defective unit. The starting of the fan seems to have nothing to do with humidity but may be related to the passage of time, if that makes sense.

The unit automatically shuts off when it reaches the desired humidity level - turn the right knob clockwise for more humidity. If this does not work remove and replace the front half of the unit - the electrical connections are sometimes finicky. If this does not work - does your unit need to be cleaned?

I've had mine for over a year and never experienced what you describe. Mine turns off and back on according to my humidity setting. Seems like a mechanical issue which might be under warranty.

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.
