something mising from our unit? What is supposed to hit the microswitch that I am assuming is an auto shut off feature. Mine has nothing to activate the unit

there are two groves, one on each side of the tanks, when the tank is full and you put it in the unit the weight of the water in the tank will automatically turn the swich on, when the tanks get empty and has very little weight it will cause the run switch to turn off.

I am not sure exactly what you want so I will give the long answer: Each of the tank caps has a small plunger on it which is a "turn off" when the tanks are empty. You should see a light come on as each tank empties. The control panel has two knobs which control the fan speed and the humidity level. The humidity level is measured by in internal gizmo (sorry for the technical jargon) which will turn the unit off when the humidity level which you set is reached. I keep an inexpensive temperature/humidity gauge on my refrigerator so I can keep track of the humidity. You may have the humidity set so high that it never reaches that level so the machine never turns off. Or you may have the humidity set so low that the machine never turns on. Finally, the machine may actually have a defective sensor and you would have to check with the manufacturer. Happy Thanksgiving.

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

You may have a wire crossed. My works just as the oem did. I took a picture of the wires before removing the old one and put the wires back on the exact same way. When mine hits temperature setting (either heat or AC) it shuts off automatic.

Hi all,I just got the unit and it does switch well. I have one problem though: once I operate the source linked to OUTPUT B (pause, click DVD menu, ...), the unit shuts off the B output and I have to reset it or reselect the B source each time ! Since it takes 5s for the unit to sync each time you select something, this is getting annoying ! It does not "lock" into the setup I want.Can I disable the "smart" input recognition/crap ?Thanks.

We have power interruptions here all the time. Mine comes on with the power, its the humidistat that would keep it from turning on immideately. Maybe that's where the confusion is.

Make sure all micro switches are switched to POE, and that you are not exceeding the recommended Power Draw....If still having problems return for another or get in contact with company for warranty.

My unit ran periodically & I replaced the switch that you depress to activate the unit .That didn't work, so I replaced the entire assembly & got a new FRC 4016. It works great now. Jp

It sounds like there may be an issue with the device. My unit simply shuts off with no alarm whatsoever. You may want to contact the seller for more information and/or an exchange.

evidendenly your humidity is lower or the same as number being seen so just press button under number you'll see it go down to lower number and you'll see the go light go on and hear it start up, i set mine on 40, bu it does shut off when it reaches 40 and if you unplug unit you have to do button all over again

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

I'm not sure what you're up against, but.... I'd just take it all apart and start over again.There should be either a screw or a clip, or it's held together with friction. If it's not working you need a new switch? Or do you just have it wired wrong?There is a screw on the back of it..? be sure the power's off!bucky in tucson

Hey Edward, without a little more info I can only guess at why your unit is shutting off. One possibility is if their is not enough airflow through the unit and it might be overheating. Is it located where there is enough airflow? I have had no issues with my unit.

Mine turns off automatically after a couple of minutes. Must be something wrong w/ yours. I would return for another one.

Not sure what is wrong with your unit but I have the same one and all I do is hold the middle button for 4-5 seconds and light turns off completely.

i bypassed the switch because mine broke also for no apparent reason. have someone who is "savey" take the switch apart and solder the wires together. i just plug and unplug my unit when i need it.

This is not normal. Are you sure that you are moving down to the selection that says "POWER OFF". If you don't it takes about 5-10 minutes to turn itself off.

It needs to be turned on and off manually. I have left it on for about an hour, but it didn't auto off.
