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.

My son gave me one of these that he wasn't using, and I just set it up. Jon Shops is correct. When the heat part shuts off, so does the fan. This is a heater only; if you want something to cool the room, this is not it.

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.

Nothing closes it off when not working. I have it mounted in a greenhouse and can see the fan blades from below.

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!!

The fan runs continuously, even after the unit has reached its desired temperature. There is no way to turn that feature off.

No, just the on and off and there is a time... You control oscillating by the up and down switch at the top back of the fan. and by the way, the fan didn't last very long -- don't get it.

This unit does not shut off the fan when in the operation/run mode(the compressor does shut off and on/cycles, as needed to keep the humidity at the desired setting)

Sorry to say the fan stays on unit you turn it off. I also was unaware of this till I got it home.

The fan shuts off immediately. It is a regular bathroom fan. I have a 70 cfm, of this model installed, and it shuts down immediately.

The fan is in the "Timer Mode". This can be set from 1-16 hours. If the timer was turned on and the fan was not running at the time, the fan will not start until the timer turns off. If the timer mode is turned on when the fan IS running, it will run until the set time has laps. To get out of this mode, push the MODE key at any time. Look at the fan digital display, by pressing the Mode button, it will show, 1,2,3 this is fan speeds, press the Mode button again and the display will show, A1,A2,A3 this is in the Auto Mode and the thermostat will turn on or off the fan at a given temperature, 1=low, 2=med, 3=high. good luck

When the oven is in one of the convection modes, the fan runs continuously. It does not cycle with the thermostat. The fan runs only in the convection modes.

wait...think it might shut off fan if you hit the humidity level u request...could set it low enuf and i guess it would never reach shutoff

I am convinced that the fan should shut off periodically, although there seems to be no way to know when it will shuit off or how long it will be off-just that it does. Don, your fan may be shutting off at night when you are asleep or when you are not home to notice it shutting off. It's funny because you are concerned that the fan runs continuously and my concern was that my dehumidifier fan did not run continuously. The first rep's statement that the fan needs to run inorder for the unit to monitor humidity made me think I had a defective unit. The starting of the fan seems to have nothing to do with humidity but may be related to the passage of time, if that makes sense.

If the fan works sometimes and not others, it's likely the thermostat is turning it off when the temperature drops below the cutoff temp. If the attic is still hotter than it should be when it turns off, adjust the thermostat down by turning the recessed white knob on the control box to a lower temp with a flat screwdriver.

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.

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.
