When the humidity level is achieved does the unit shut off or just keep running?

I do not have the unit vented and use the reservoir to collect water. When the rest of wine here is full the unit shuts off. You can also program it to run a certain amount of time and shut off. I don't think it shuts off when the selected humidity level is reached, but I'm not sure about that. So sorry I can't be more helpful. But I do love these units :-)

This question needs to be answered in two parts. The part of the unit that actually removes water from the air does indeed stop running when your set level is reached and starts again when exceeded. However, the fan that drives the air flow itself never stops. I see that as a real knock against this and many other Danby units as it keeps both sound and energy consumption higher than they need to be.

The part that sucks out humidity stops running, but the fan does not. If you use the tank without the drain pipe, it will stop when it is full. Have to be in an open area as it does throw off a lot of warmth. Not great during the hot summer months, so you can't put it close to the thermostat. It is better to run it till you are comfortable and then turn it off.

Fan shuts down when humidity setting is reached. Unit is VERY noisy, to the degree that I don't run it when I'm working in the basement. It certainly is effective, however.

This unit does not shut off the fan when in the operation/run mode(the compressor does shut off and on/cycles, as needed to keep the humidity at the desired 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

On my unit the fan will only turn off if the unit shuts down due to a full bucket. Otherwise the compressor cycles on and off depending on what you have the humidity control set at, but the fan runs all the time. Like the service rep told you, the unit won't know what the room humidity is if the fan isn't moving the room's air through the unit.

the unit shuts off when the water container is full with the 70 pints. if a hose is used instead of the container it shuts off when it reaches your programed humidity setting. hope this helps.

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.

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.

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.

The fan runs only when the unit is dehumidifying, according to the humidity level you choose.

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

No, it doesn't turn off automatically as such -- the fan stays on as long as the unit is on. But the humidity control is automatic. For example, if you leave it at 40% the fan will run with humid air coming out the top until the relative humidity reaches 40%, then the humid air will stop coming out but the fan will remain on until the sensor determines that moist air should come on again.

No. the unit's motor continues to run but the humidifier itself shuts down as long as the humidity is at the desired level. Then it will kick back on fully when the humidity rises about the desired settings There is a timer that can be set for 2 or 4 hours. Then the unit will shut totally off but will not come back on until it is turned on manually.

I never let it run to that point. Always monitored it as it is not one with auto shut off. replaced an older one that worked well for many years, but was cautioned to not let it run dry as it would burn out. So I continue the same process.

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.

does the unit have an automatic humidity level shutoff and on feature that you can set?

It must turn off, because when I checked it recently, I thought it wasn't running because I didn't hear anything. It had simply reached the proper humidity level.
