Does the fan run continuous or only when it is dehumidifying ??

The fan runs only when the unit is dehumidifying, according to the humidity level you choose.

It does run for a time when the condenser is off but it stops entirely when it reaches the desired humidity. It is highly efficient and makes a discernible difference compared to other dehumidifiers I have owned. The water container fills to the top and is clumsy to carry. Other then that I have not had any problems with the unit.

It will run while its dehumidifying and for a few minutes after the compressor shuts off; unless you have it on continuous mode.

Yes it does, your can set the time the fan runs once motion is detected. It can run continuously at a low CFM which you can set or for a fixed time period at maximum CFM. There are two user defined switches which gives you a varied combination of on-time versus CFM rating.

Yes. The fan runs after 100% charge as the unit then enters conditioning mode.

Yes the fan on my unit runs 24-7-365. Only the compressor cycle on and off as needed to maintain it set point. You do get a hi low control button for the fan.

It does not have an automatic shut off. The fan will continue to run even when dry.

When the compressor stops, the whole unit stops. I would prefer the fan to keep running because it appears that a volume of dehumidified air stays in the vicinity of the sensor making it appear that the room humidity is lower than it actually is. When everything stops, moist air moves in from the surrounding area and causes the dehumidifier restart within a few minutes. I placed a small fan near mine to prevent the accumulation of dry air. That seems to work by causing the dehumidifier to run until most of the air in room has been treated. I shouldn't have to do that, but the dehumidifier is better than any other I have tried.Ken When the compressor stops, the whole unit stops.

Our unit worked great for the warranty period and suddenly stopped collecting water - less than a week after the warranty ran out. Must be low or out of freon. Not a good experience with this unit. Fan will run, but unit does not dehumidify. If under warranty, go for it. Good luck.

Yes fan only runs when its heating or cooling. Unless you have it in the fan settling.

Yes the fan does. The unit does not turn on and off but the fan runs continually. The dehumidifier only runs when the humidity is above the setting you input.

When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run. However it has a very annoying design fault. Say you set the RH (relative humidity) at 50%. Once the dehumidifier reaches it, it will then turn off, but it is usually for less than a minute, since it doesn't take long for the humidity to climb back up. It doesn't sound like a big deal, until you realize how loud the machine is and how distracting it is when it is going on and off every 3 minutes. But if you leave in a very humid place (I live in Miami, FL) it is always running until the bucket fills up.... so no annoying on/off for me. When the unit cycles off, the fan does not run.

That is evidently how this dehumidifier is designed. It probably has to do with getting air to the humidity sensor. I keep my unit on low fan and turn it off for periods of time when I know the humidity is relatively low.

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.

There is an option to run the fan 24/7, but the ac part of it will shut down when it's reached the temperature desired on thermostat of the unit.

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)

If you have not adjusted the Humidity setting to a higher percentage, the fan will continue to run. I had to set my fan to around 80% before the fan would stop running continuously. The actual humidity setting you select will depend on where you live and the ambient average humidity for that area. You should plan to go beyond the average ambient humidity to prevent the fan from continuously running as the humidity levels fluctuate day-to-day.

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

It is made that way. In cooling mode the fan runs but the fan consumes negligible amount of power and is made for that. Fan needs to run to continually sample the room air to decide when to come back on.
