Does the timer or thermostat shuts down completely the unit, or does the fan keep working?

The fan continues until you power off the system. Same for heatand cool cycles.

I have not used that feature, I keep mine going I turn it off maybe 4 hours a day manually since the time variesits a very nice unit,

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.

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.

Not sure about the timer, but when the room reaches temperature, the fan continuities to work when on auto.

It's all or nothing. So yes, it'll turn off the fan or the 'ac' as they're both different but equal modes on the unit. The real difference is when the timer goes off it powers down everything running either the fan alone, or if the fan is running and the compressor is too. Everything gets cut off.

I have mine set to "auto" so I assume it turns off when the thermostat reaches a certain level & vice versa but will monitor it more closely now that the questions has been asked.

It automatically changes the fan speed as needed. I'm not sure if it ever completely turns the fan off or if it is just at a very low speed.

WARNING: Fans on units built after 2014 designed to NEVER shut off!I just bought this (April 2015) and the fan never shuts off -- it runs all the time regardless of whether the compressor shuts off. Even 3 hours after the compressor shuts off, it will run.The only way to stop the fan is to put it on the timer... but that only means it will run for the length of time you set on the time. Then it will never turn on again.

Either they have changed the specifications, or your unit is defective. The fan on my unit only comes on when I've had it under heavy load for awhile, then shuts off awhile after the load is reduced.

It shouldn't power off completely. At most it should power down to the low fan setting.

Once the set temperature is reached the heat turns off and then the fan. So the fan is not always running.

There is an option to run the fan 24/7, but the ac part of it will shut down when it's reached the temperature desired on thermostat of the unit.

I think it has to do something with the unit getting too hot and damaging the motor, but I never experienced the shutdown.

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.

It does have a thermostat, so it will turn off when the air around the unit reaches the set temperature, but, it will continue to run and blow heat as long as it needs until it reaches the temperature you set it to. This unit was a workhorse when I first got it, its only now that I've had a problem.

The fan stays on until the powersupply cools off --- not necessarily 15 seconds. If it's really "indefinitely", then it's broken.

yes and it hardly shuts off, even if the temp is set and room temp does get to its number fan keeps going. Also when the one of the heating infra-red bulbs burn out u can't replace them without destroying unit. The fan is somewhat quiet but still hardly ever shuts off. Trust me, I have ceiling heat in a 1960 house and with electric prices through the roof I have tried several style heaters, amazing enough the BEST HEATERS ARE THE UGLY OIL FILLED RADIATOR HEATERS. Hope this helps!!

It's in the remote, you can set the remote to a certain temp, when that low temp is reached in the room at the remote the fan will turn off automatically, when the temp goes back above the set temp the fan will go on again by itself, of course you can override this feature and have the fan just stay on no matter what the temp is.

Mine did that initially. Up and down between 49 and 53 and the fan kicking in every couple of seconds. I raised the temperature to 55 and it stopped doing that.

The thermostat retains the last settings if that is your question. If power is out, your HVAC is out of commission anyway :-)

Does it just stop completely or go into a cooler hibernation mode ? Once my unit hits the room temp that it is set on, it seems to shut off. But it actually goes to a cooler temp and a low fan speed. I first thought it shut off but it just adjusts to the room temp being met. If you turn the thermostat up, it goes back into high heat or low heat, what ever you had the temp set on.
