The indoor fan on my 2 ton unit never shuts off, even in the auto mode. Is this normally the case? On our other units, the indoor fan shuts off .

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

I was in the basement when the fan did shut off. It started back up a little while later. So Yes, when it reaches the desired humidity level the unit does go silent and then start up when it needs. The unit is in the basement but it is no louder than a small fan running. There is no noise when the water drains from the unit.

Allot of confusion here, I was told the fan runs all the time and since some say they claim their fan does not, I called Frigidaire and they say the FAN DOES RUN ALL THE TIME, only thing that cycles is the compressor. The fan is energy efficient and keeps air on the move doing a better job, but...their own manual does not state the fan operates all the time. Not sure what models some have that claim the fan turns off when the humidiy level is reached......seems to be allot of confusion over this.

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.

If you leave the switch on "on" it is ready to respond whenever a preset humidity level is reached. Switch to "off" momentarily and back to "on" and it will run for a preset amount of time and automatically shut off. But, since the switch is still in the "on" position, it has reverted to humidity sensing mode and will automatically respond, once again. I have put 5 of these fans in rental units and I couldn't be happier with them. Be sure to check the screen over the sensing unit (where the LED light is) and remove dust so it will stay efficient.

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.

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

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.

I don't understand your question. I can turn it off, no problem....We love our fan (I have it on right now). It's so quiet but the breeze can be felt a good ways off, even on low. Hubby says it's one of the best things I've ever bought.Please explain in more detail what you'd like to know and I'll try my best to help you.

Yes it should turn off unless it is set to continuous run. I run mine all the time, over a year now, the fan run even when it runs a defrost cycle.Overall I am happy with the unit, could use a bigger one but this works fine in my 4foot crawl space.

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

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.

If the setting dials are working? The air humidity should trigger your fan....if not you may seek a replacement unit....Thank you..11/23/2013

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.

The fan on ours goes off often, but no, no buzzing. Is it still under warrantee? We had to use our warranty, and although lengthy, the customer service was able to (fina;;y) help us.

Given your E-Mail I tried to set the temperature below room temperature and discovered that the fan shuts OFF if the selected temperature is below room temperature. Since it is sold as a heater, I suspect that fan without heat is not possible. However, I bought it as a heater only to begin with and suspect that fan without heat is not possible. As a result of my experiment above I now suspect that the internal thermostat allows the fan to come ON only if heat is required to achieve the selected temperature.

I just received mine June 1, 2015. The fan does shut off, but only for about 30 seconds when the compressor is not running. I would rather it ran all the time as it is hard on the fan to start and stop. It could cause premature fan failure. Unit does a great job. I had 79% humidity and down to 51% in one day in a new basement.
