Anyone experienced the thermostat reaching the desired temp (in cooling mode) and never shutting the system off?

Thanks for the feedback...as it turns out, the switch on the back of the unit was set for gas instead of electric. Once I flipped the switch, it started cycling properly. I agree that the click can be annoying, but hey, if it gets the job done, I can live with it. Thanks again.

Never. When it hits the set temperature, it shuts right off. The only criticism I have is that you can hear the click when it turns on or off. This is not a silent unit. It's not an important factor to me but I know it matters to others.

You can use the switch for the fan on "automatic"--on-and-off or "on"--where the fan stays on all the time. I actually use that to keep the temperatures more moderate. But my mom and mother-in-law like the automatic better. Maybe that is what you are experiencing?

we had a old Honeywell thermostat that did that but we bought this new one it works great

Not a full answer: I estimate the maximum temperature at which the unit turns off one the thermostat is set at maximum to be around 80, perhaps 85.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

I notice that my machine gets a bit hot but has never shut down as a result. I have not had it on for more than a minute - usually much less.

click the center button on the bottom to select Heat / Cool and then push the " + or - " to select the temperature wanted. Are you having other issues ?

No. I was very disappointed that when the unit is turned off that it goes back to the default temp of 75 degrees. In addition, it seemed to overheat.

No. Once it hits temp, the fan continues to run. There may be a setting I'm not using, but in the Texas heat and the old Airstream I'm using it in, it never shuts off.

I haven't shut mine off in months. It sits about two feet away from anything, if that's what you mean. I do adjust the temperature from time to time for comfort - it is like a conventional radiator (not quite as hot as some of the radiators up in the northeast where it gets really cold - it's smaller and much less weight).

Mine remembers the last used temp. I don't change that much. I altered one of the presets slightly for my favorite temp, although don't recall that I made it the startup default. But it pops up to that temp everytime I turn it on. Just checked it again for you simply altering it on the fly, turned off, and it popped right back to the new (last set) temp. Fine unit; don't know what I did without it.

I have had this running continuously for aweek or more at a stretch. Unless its on high heat setting, it will turn off periodically relating the heat.

Yes. It has a thermostat and when it reaches the temperature you've set, it turns off.

Are you sure it wasn't reaching the temp and just shut off until the next temp drop?

Mine did not have an auto shut off. Also i had issue with the built in tempurature control several times i would find it go up over 130c which would kill off the bacteria if left that way for too long.

Mine has never shut off due to overheating. The only safety shut off I know about on the unit is a spring loaded switch on the bottom. Make sure you can press it down and it springs back then try placing it on a hard surface, like the floor, to make sure the switch is pressing down and try it. If this doesn't work then the problem is inside the unit which means proceed at your own risk.

Well I had to get used to mine...power on..after I set the temps in each zone I hit start and then keep hitting select until u see temps rising and a little dot blinking beside each temp...just to lower right..hope that helps...:-D

Sorry for the delayed response. I actually got the thermostat for my parents as a gift, but did do the setup for them. I haven't heard any complaints about power outrages causing a system reset.

I believe it's +/-3 degrees for the auto-off. Try to play with the temp setting on the remote and raise it up high to see if it automatically shuts off, for example. I can tell you that the fact it never shuts off is either due to never reaching the +/- temp needed, or a product malfunction. Test the temp settings and see if it shuts off. I'm very satisfied w/the product and do not have the same issues. Good luck!
