The fan on top of my receiver is not running. Is it only supposed to run when it gets to a certain temperature? It also smells a bit electricy..

I believe it should run all the time (when powered on, of course). Anytime you smell that electrical burning smell, it's always an indication something is wrong.

The fan should not run continuously. If the evap. Thermostat is satisfied with the room temperature the whole unit should stop running. Make sure your setting is not on DRY.

I hardwired the wall switch to be "ON" all of the time. The only problem is that the humidity sensor sometimes starts the fan in response to changes in the room air even when the shower is not in use. Darn kids!

The fan was so easy to install. The remote in the fan was already hard-wired. It sounds like the manual remote is defective or the remote receiver in the fan is defective. I'm sure you've checked the way you installed the batteries. Call their hotline.

There seem to be conflicting answers here. Does anyone know if you need to install a receiver or not? How would the fan know to be controlled by this remote otherwise? It's currently hooked up to our existing remote which is broken. So how do I "tell" the new remote to control this fan?

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

This is a cheap fan. I had a little heater fan that got a lot of lint in int, and I just sprayed it with fantastic and sprayer it off with the spray function on my sink (UNPLUGGED OF COURSE) let it DRY WELL and when I plucked it in i worked just fine. so what do you have to lose, just wash it if it doesn't work after but a new on.If it does work. let us know so we can wash ours too.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

Mine seems to always have the motor running. Mine works great and is not broke. It is not the quietest fan however I have nothing to worry about. I would call then manufacture for more information.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away.If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

I installed the fan myself and after following the wiring instructions it did not work properly. I ended up just switching the wires around until it worked. I put this fan in several months ago and don't remember the exact wiring. I left the canopy off and moved wires until it worked. Sorry I can't be more exact with the wiring..

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

I have had no issues with heating as of yet and I'm still running stock fans.I have carpet where my puter sits so I just put a sheet of board underneath it,other than that I've done nothing.

The fan is not programmable. I do have a fairly old unit, probably over 15 years old. You may want to check their website to see if this is now offered.

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

I have the same problem but it is actually a benifit in my case. I'm using it to power a car stereo in a wood box and the fan keeps the radio cool too. I purchased a "MEANSWELL" power supply for twice the price of this unit and it's fan never comes on and it powers 2 300watt car amps without any problems at full load
