Has another owner had problems with the unit turning itself off without being bumped or jostled? It has turned off 2-3 times in an hour w/o cause.

I haven't seen that problem, but then again, I haven't used my unit very much since I bought it. For the few times I've used it, it seems to work properly.

The only time that happened to mine I had it outside in the sun,it probably got too hot!

Mine just started doing this too. It turns on but shuts off after 2 seconds. Last week it worked fine.

Nope. I've had this for a few months and haven't had any problems. Maybe it's just a defective unit?

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

No I have never had any issues with my unit. If nothing is running my first thought is to check your GFI plug to see if it is tripped. If that is not it I would try to contact the company.

I have not had any problem w/ the unit not shutting off in the allocated time setting.

Hi, I have only had that happen when I use the unit for an hour of more. I reckon that the quality of the product varies, and your unit may be overheating more than normal.

I just received an e-mail asking me if I could respond to your concern. But now I see that you've contacted customer service and the are sending you a new speed sensor (which was my guess). The auto-shutdown after five minutes was the clue. If left on and unattended it shuts itself off to save power.

I have not turned my unit off for a period of time. I only turn it off to clean it. Sorry I can't help you.

Same problem here. I had it happen with two of the units over a 4 year period. Not going to fool me again.

Call the customer support number. I hope it has improved. When I owned this unit, the customer service was terrible. This is one of the reasons I finally got rid of the unit. Bad unit reliability, bad design, and terrible customer service made for a bad ownership experience. Good luck!

This seems to be a common issue with these units. Mine does it also. Wish I had an answer.

Both myself an a neighbor had this unit (the one before the recall and I never turned mine in) and we both had the problem of it appearing to not come on soon after purchasing. The solution for both of us was to turn the knob to the preferred setting and *never* use the knob again; only turn it on or off by plugging/unplugging the unit.

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.

I have been using two of these unit for two years and have not noticed problem.I personally feel the shut off is not fast enough to cause that effect.

My old one had a finicky on off switch too, you had to get it in exactly the right place of it might hum but not vibrate. Just broke after about ten years. As an aging weekend warrior, I can't live without it so I will be buying a new one.
