Is there an on/off switch, or is it constantly running? I have one plugged in my basement subfloor-how can I tell if it is working/running?

It is always running to constantly remove Radon gas. It makes a little hum by which you might be able to hear that it's running.

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.

This unit is intended, when used for radon , to not stop running , there should be a negative pressure meter some where in the setup for operational check , tube with red dye.

It should run all the time. It can be put on an external switch but it doesn't have one built in. They run pretty quiet so most istallations use a manometer to indicate / monitor air flow. Its a meter that hooks into the piping before and after the fan to measure the differential pressure.

I just leave mine on. There really is no on/off switch... so you would have to unplug it. Had mine more than a year....still working great. Hope this helps you.

Just on and off. It is a floor switch, you just step to turn it on and off. I really do love it!

Mine has always worked whenever I used it which is quite sporadically so I assume it is always on. I love mine!

I had similar trouble. Was about to return and them it suddenly turned on. Have no idea but it has been a year since and working fine. Touch wood.My suggestion - unplug and try after a while. Nothing scientific.

Hi. Sounds like a bad switch, or a bad connection to the switch. I would use your warranty to repair or replace the units.

Mine also goes on and off frequently. Very little really running on it. Sometimes it's on all the time, but it doesn't get super hot underneath.

Hi Jay,Mine works for as long as it's plugged in- I do sometimes unplug it to move it to another plug to do the next room, but it's never shut off on me. Thanks, REN- I do clean mine after every use so maybe that's why?

It is not too bad from a noise perspective. Mine runs in the basement almost constantly and is OK. If you spend a lot of time next to it the noise could be of concern. The unit is energy start rated but my electrical consumption has significantly jumped this year. Mainly because I have the drain hose connected to it so it runs much more than my old unit where I would forget to empty the bucket on a regular basis.

It doesn't have an on/off button. I plugged in my machine per the instructions and left it plugged in. I hope this helps.

Mine is on all the time. I think it just means the circuitry is working correctly to let you know it's available if needed.

That sounds like a defect in the unit. Mine stays on about 5 seconds, then turns off. There isn't a button that I know of to be able to turn it off. I'd write to the seller and ask for a replacement. That isn't normal.

There is no on/of switch.I just leave it on so I don't have to keep plugging it in anytime I want to play my vinyl.

Mine is always on. I'm not sure if thats how its wired or not as i didn't see any instructions with the ones i ordered. Maybe someonecan add a wiring diagram, which would help.

Have only had mine a month. Directions say to turn off, unplug. So guess there is no off switch.?

The temperature is thermostatically controlled so the unit would turn off and come back on when needed.Never used mine in a basement, but if there's moisture I would be concerned.

Not mine- runs continuously at whatever level i set it at. I cant even imagine how (mechanically) it could do that. I would contact their customer service.
