Does this have an "energy save" mode or similar that shuts off the fan when the compressor turns off? (Most window units have this.)

Yes, it does. Although, the conditioner fan offers "white noise" in "constant" mode at night when trying to sleep. The unit sounds like a Mustang V8 cycling on and off - at night - just like window conditioners. The unit also has fan speeds.

Not only will the fan stop turning when the selected temperature is reached, there is a small control unit, wireless of coarse. I am very pleased with the unit. Ken

I would not get this for the living part. The fan is always on and never turns off. So once you achieve your humidity level, the compressor shuts off but the fan is still on. I don't believe there is a way to turn the fan off. This is good for the basement to keep air moving. Some dehumidifiers shut off completely once the humidity level is reached. all will be somewhat loud like a window air conditioning unit. Most of the time, you will not need a dehumidifier in a living part of the house as long as you have an air conditioner.

Yes, quiet operation even when compressor kicks on. This is in my parent's home and is located in their family room where everyone watches tv or reads and it doesn't disturb anyone.

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

Used as A/C short cycle protection, when a/c turns off this unit will delay the ' on' for at least 5 minutes so compressor cools down before restarting

Yes, this unit has a fan (which I don't prefer in these ) had it listed as having a fan I would not have ordered it. It does let you set the desired temperature for shutting off when temp reaches, as well as a low and high heat sets. Not sure what the CFM rating

Allot of confusion here, I was told the fan runs all the time and since some say they claim their fan does not, I called Frigidaire and they say the FAN DOES RUN ALL THE TIME, only thing that cycles is the compressor. The fan is energy efficient and keeps air on the move doing a better job, but...their own manual does not state the fan operates all the time. Not sure what models some have that claim the fan turns off when the humidiy level is reached......seems to be allot of confusion over this.

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

Yes it does... it has a thermostat knob that causes it to shutoff when the desired temperature is reached. If the temperature goes below a threshold, the fan does come back on again. The other knob controls off/fan/low heat/high heat. In addition, there is an overheat shutoff.

Yes. If wired properly with the use of an outside temperature sensor it will bring on aux heat below a preset temp and turn off the compressor. It will also bring on aux heat when the outside unit goes into a defrost cycle, and you can manually bring on aux heat. I have two of these units.

Yes it should turn off unless it is set to continuous run. I run mine all the time, over a year now, the fan run even when it runs a defrost cycle.Overall I am happy with the unit, could use a bigger one but this works fine in my 4foot crawl space.

Hi Randy,In the Money Saver Mode everything cycles off with the thermostat. Otherwise the compressor cuts off and the fan continues to run. As RLee said, in the Money Saver Mode the unit will turn on for a few seconds periodically to check the room temp to see if the unit needs to cycle on.

I wish I could help, but I've yet to open the box. That said, my experience with all dehumidifiers is that they do have an automatic shut-off ability.

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.

usually only when using the air compressor if your 'CONNECTION' is loose at the fillup valve it will turn the unit off and then back on...unless you INSURE a TIGHT CONNECTION.

When unit reaches temp. It will shut off completely. Every few minutes the fan comes on and checks air temp. If it ok, unit shuts off again, if not compressor starts until it reaches temp again. As for size, look on LG website.

Well they serve two different functions - the timer turns the a/c cool on for a specific amount of time so when that goes on and off yes the compressor shuts down and turns on; when the thermostat hits the temperature you set it at the compressor slows down and the fan is still going until it drops again then it turns the compressor on again to maintain the temperature you want - just like central air does.
