Why does the fan constantly stay on high? I have it set to low, but when the compressor turns off the fan automatically goes to high....

the fan's function when compressor is running is to circulate air. When compressor stops, fan's function is to quickly dry condensed moisture off of the coils. Different functions, may explain the different fan speeds.

I don't know. If it is new it might be a defect. I have 2 of these units and there is a clear difference in the fan from high to low. Mine have been going strong for a year now....one of them was on my boat all winter running 24/7 and still works great. I'd either check with the manufacturer or send it back. Good luck!

Yes it is designed to work that way, when the compressor shuts off it go's to defrost mode, which kicks the fan on high. When defrost is complete it will go back to low and turn back on the compressor. It will do this unless the humidity level is below the set point of the machine in which case it will shut off.

its called economy. The fan runs slower but I don't recall if the unit actually turns off when the compressor stops.

On the lowest Fan setting it's not too bad at all. On the highest, wow! We only turn it to the highest setting when we're asleep or not home, but we don't find that necessary very often. Traditionally, lowest setting works just fine for us.

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

When the desired humidity is reached and the compressor shuts off, the fan does continue to run. It will continue to cycle the air and if you have the uv light option turned on it will freshen the air as it cycles through the dehumidifier.

That depends on what you are doing in the room. I leave mine on all the time, in ECO mode. It's off most of the time (the fan is off), and it will turn on when it needs to, and turn on high if it detects extra dirty air, until the air is clean again, then it goes to low mode or off.

Not sure if that is normal or not, mine does not do that however I run fairly heavy loads (800 watts) so my fan will come on and stay on for 20 seconds or more until unit cools enough. If you are running a light load that may be normal.

Hi Donna. When it reaches a set temperature, the AC turns off, but the fan stays on. This way, if the temperature goes up again, the AC will turn back on.

Hi Randy,In the Money Saver Mode everything cycles off with the thermostat. Otherwise the compressor cuts off and the fan continues to run. As RLee said, in the Money Saver Mode the unit will turn on for a few seconds periodically to check the room temp to see if the unit needs to cycle on.

I own one of these. It works great! I live in southern Louisiana, and it keeps all the tools in my shed dry. Yes... the fan turns off when the compressor turns off... unlike some of the latest window air conditioner units. The fan runs only when the thermostat "kicks" the compressor on. After the proper humidity percent that you have chosen is reached, the entire unit is quiet... with only the pilot light showing on the on/off switch. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend this unit. RF, Cut Off, LA

I have this problem with my fan. I'm assuming it's from moving or repositioning the fan, since you have to pick it up from the top. It usually resolves itself if I turn it on and off and/or make sure the fan is aligned with the base.

Is this a new machine? If so it may take some time to get used to the smell. Make sure it is not on sanitize while you are in the room. Do you have it high enough and facing a return air vent? I put mine on the top of a book shelf and point it towards my return air vent with the A/C on auto for the fan. You have to put a certain feet high but I can not remember. I am 5'3" and it was probably almost a foot higher than me just guessing.Hope this helps!

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.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

Did you turn it up on high? Mine had to be run on high for a few minutes and then could turn it down. I never really liked how it worked but waited too long to decide to return it and didn't. Hope you have better luck!

I just tried turning off the "auto" setting while leaving the ionizer on with the lowest fan speed. It works terrifically.
