Can anyone tell me if the dehumidifer is suppose to shut off at the desired humidity setting.. Thanks so much !

The manual says it does not; but it stops if it reaches 5% below the desird setting. I do not understand the positive ratinghs on this unit. It is VERY noisy and runs all the time!

I think yes, it shuts down @ the set point. Mine isn't perfect, sometimes it's off by a few percents. But with in 3-4%. Other times it's dead on.

It shuts off when the reservoir is full, but not when the desired temp is reached. However, it is very quiet, so you don't notice that it runs constantly.

I just purchased this in Oct 2014. The compressor comes on and off, but the fan never turns off. --for my dehumidifier.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.

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.

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)

I believe the reason there is some confusion around the fan running when the compressor shuts down is due to the unit killing the compressor when the coils freeze. If you have a basement that is in the 60's, often times the coils will freeze and the dehumidifier will shut off till they defrost. I've noticed it once over the last week.In short, when the humidity hits the set amount, fan and compressor will shutoff. When dehumidifying, the compressor may shutoff to defrost the coils and the fan will continue to run (helping to defrost the coils).

My dehumidifier works perfectly. Check the humidity in the room before you run it - it might be too low to extract any great amount of water.

Yes. I own a couple units. I couldn't get the humidity high enough that it would ever shut off. Granted I try to place them near a return duct for it to benefit other areas of the home as well.

When you first set up your dehumidifier, you are instructed to run it in continuous mode for 24 hours. You will get a notification on the dial face when the bucket is full to empty it. After the continuous operation, you can then select the humidity level you want on the dial face.

I would not get this for the living part. The fan is always on and never turns off. So once you achieve your humidity level, the compressor shuts off but the fan is still on. I don't believe there is a way to turn the fan off. This is good for the basement to keep air moving. Some dehumidifiers shut off completely once the humidity level is reached. all will be somewhat loud like a window air conditioning unit. Most of the time, you will not need a dehumidifier in a living part of the house as long as you have an air conditioner.

It does not turn off complete, the fan still runs when it reaches the set limit, but it does not output any moisture at that point. It turns on and off the mist only, not the fan.

It really depends on the average level of humidity in the space you are operating the dehumidifier and what level of dehumidification that you set on the unit. For example, we have our unit in our basement. We have selected the desired humidity level to be at 45%. We live in Iowa and in the summer it runs 24/7 (we have a shower in the basement that gets used daily as well). In the winter it does not.

I too experienced the same thing with this Humidistat, it would switch open (off) when the humidity would fall below the set point and would switch closed (on) when the humidity went above the set point. I found this opposite on how I was expecting the device to function. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ours runs for a period of time you set, but not on an auto humidity setting basis. When it turns off from the timer, you have to turn it on again. It is not like an alarm clock where it resets for the next day.

I wish I could help, but I've yet to open the box. That said, my experience with all dehumidifiers is that they do have an automatic shut-off ability.

Unclear how to do this. I have accidentally set the humidity level by fiddling around when the unit is first powering up, but since it isn't possible (as far as I can see) to discern the setting by looking at the display - good luck. (But it does run very quietly, and since I don't have mine on continuous drain - I empty the tub daily - it doesn't matter...)
