Temperature remains same, but fan keeps cycling off and on. Is this normal?

I think it depends on the mode you have selected. Once our room is heated to the desired level, we usually choose a manual mode so we do not have the fan cycling. I suggest trying different modes, and if fan cycles on and off in each mode, you may have a problem. Good luck.

Indoor fan shuts off if in heat mode but not in air conditioning mode. Don't know if this is normal or not.

I hear no such noise in mine, however, I always leave mine in standby mode. I suspect you have a noisy cooling fan.

I usually do not notice any fan noise. Once in a while you'll notice it briefly, then its right back to silent.

Mine shut down from overheating too and it cools VERY well. The cooling does not seem to be the issue with this device. But the fan on mine broke after only a month. And the wire got caught in the fan. It's simply poorly designed. But cools very well.

The fan doesn't make much noise. Depending on the temperature setting, the fan makes a low "quite" hum.

There is a thermostat in this product wich turns the fan on and off at certain temps. I did purchase several with different temp on / off ratings to see how they worked. The factory thermostat has best on/off rating. I think it is 160 on 120 off. I took out the thermostat and typed in the #'s and found a lot of thermostats.

The coil shuts down and when it is cooled off the fan shut off. Hope that helps

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

Check the manual here for the troubleshooting section: http://www.soleusair.com/Manuals/2011%20Manual/SG-DEH-30M%2045%2070-1A%20Soleus%20Manual%203-31-2011.pdf Sometimes I think it's just the fan kicking up a speed every once in a while.

A cooling fan does kick in when it switches to backup mode, but it really isn't that noticeable. Mine's pretty quiet.

mine does the same.. check your voltages in the BIOS though from what I've read it's the fan controller on the PSU switching on and off.. you'll be fine :)

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

Contrary to what others have answered, the fan runs continuously on the 2 units I own. It doesn't matter if the heat bulbs are on or not, and it doesn't matter if the room has warmed up to the selected temperature. I'm not sure if mine are defective or if mine are older models without a fan shut off feature. I bought them from family farm and home in late 2013. The continuously running fan is one feature that I do NOT like about these units.

Yes mine does the same thing. My guess is that my fan wore out because the first few days it was loud and annoying, but eventually stopped. Only then did my computer begin to overheat and shut off when I play certain video games for as little time as 45 minutes.

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

The fan stays on until the powersupply cools off --- not necessarily 15 seconds. If it's really "indefinitely", then it's broken.
