In the description is listed an "automatic shutoff feature". Can anyone tell me what this is? I'd like my fan to run as long as it is not in off.

I never noticed an automatic shut off anywhere on the switch. At night, I turn it on using the high switch then turn it to low and go to sleep and the fan runs all night long no problem. I would imagine if there is an automatic shut off it's in case the switch over heats or shorts out.

It work as a basic 3 way switch, by the way you can use one but you will not going to have middle position. Auto option I guess refereed to the optional timer that you can install if you have one.

To add to Rachel's comment, the fan will stay on for a short while when the unit is shut off (or it is automatically shut off via the thermostat). This may be a safety feature to cool the inside down and/or extract the remaining heat.

The fan has a feature where it senses the temperature that is around it, and if it becomes too cool for the setting, the fan shuts off automatically. So if you twist the dial so the fan just turns on and then the temperature drops, the fan should shut off. This is helpful in situations where you want the fan on when you go to sleep, but know that it may get a little too cool in the morning if it were to stay on. I don't use the feature, so I don't know if it actually works, but that's at least what the dial is for. If you test it out and it does work, let us know.

You only need to run the fan for the length of time needed to remove the humidity in the area. Once that level is established, there is an automatic shutoff. It is pretty quiet.

The fan should run when the unit is on. Contact the manufacture for specific operation questions.

The fan runs continuously as long as the unit is turned on. I am not at the house that has this unit right now. But, as I recall, Auto Fan is just a continuous fan setting.

The fan turns off with the thermostat. The last one I had lasted years mounted in the enclosed bed of my truck,running on and off through the night, keeping things from freezing during ohio's winters.

It will run the fan ONLY in fan mode, however this is supposed to run the fan about 30% of the time. I do not know if there is any way to set specific times for the fan only.

Indoor fan shuts off if in heat mode but not in air conditioning mode. Don't know if this is normal or not.

The fan runs while it is on. It is as loud as a small desk fan. Hope this helps.

No for the fan alone. But it does have options for System: Cool, Heat, Em(ergency) Heat, Auto and Off. So if you don't want the fan to run, you'll need to turn the system off.

It does no come with an off/on switch, but you could have one wired in if wanted. they are designed to run continuously. the fan runs quietly, but you can hear it if stand close. Try unplugging and plugging it back in to hear the difference. If you can't hear it, it's not running. You can also feel some slight vibration if you put your hand on the outside of the fan.

Is the compressor running or just the fan/coil unit after the temperature is reached? Does it cut off after a couple of minutes? If it just keeps running, it sounds like it might have been wired incorrectly, assuming the "Fan" switch isn't in the "On" position (if it is, switch it to the "Auto" position). If it just continues to run for a couple of minutes, I think the thermostat is likely programmed to do that as a (mildly misguided) effort at efficiency by taking advantage of the low refrigerant temperature that lingers a bit after the compressor has shut off. I actually don't have this model (and am not sure why Amazon thinks I do), and I am going from the behavior of the model TX5000Ua that I do have.

Yes, the fan run constantly, even when not heating. It's actually nice (in my opinion) that it maintains a fairly constant state of white noise, rather than fully shutting down.

The fan shuts off immediately. It is a regular bathroom fan. I have a 70 cfm, of this model installed, and it shuts down immediately.

We love ours, since our bedroom is in the basement. If you use the timer it does shut down the fan and it sits in "wait" mode until the time you have it set to turn back on. You do need to be certain it is hooked up to a hose to drain continuously or this feature will not work. We use our for mostly heat in the winter and the a/c in the summer. But you do have the option of treating like a fan, although I'm not sure why you would want to...I believe a regular fan would e cheaper on your electric bill.

There is an option to run the fan where it is always on. There is an "auto" function when it only runs when the furnace/ac is running. And there is a function where it can be set to run randomly about 35% of the time whether the furnace/ac is running or not.
