Does the fan turn off when the compressor turns off when the desired humidity is reached?

I own one of these. It works great! I live in southern Louisiana, and it keeps all the tools in my shed dry. Yes... the fan turns off when the compressor turns off... unlike some of the latest window air conditioner units. The fan runs only when the thermostat "kicks" the compressor on. After the proper humidity percent that you have chosen is reached, the entire unit is quiet... with only the pilot light showing on the on/off switch. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend this unit. RF, Cut Off, LA

Do you have a phone number because I think mine needs servicing and I don't know who or where to take it.

Yes, it does. This unit works very well to pull moisture out, it is a bit loud, but it's white noise. If its in defrost cycle, it won't shut off until it's thawed, or of its in continuous mode. This is a great dehumidifier, it ran all winter in our house in Montana, with no issues.

Yes it should turn off unless it is set to continuous run. I run mine all the time, over a year now, the fan run even when it runs a defrost cycle.Overall I am happy with the unit, could use a bigger one but this works fine in my 4foot crawl space.

Yes. Shuts down the fan, not just the compressor, when temperature is reached.

When the humidity level is reached, the compressor (most electric-intensive component) shuts off but the fan stays on. This is advertised as a feature to continuously circulate the air and give a more accurate humidity sensor reading. When the bucket is full, both the compressor AND fan shut off.

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.

Yes. It has an on/off button behind the humidifier above the USB-cable connection.

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.

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.

Mine has a manufacture date of Aug 2013. The compressor shuts off as soon as the humidity level has been reached. The fan runs for another few minutes to dry off the coils / prevent mildew from growing. When it comes back on, both the fan & compressor come on at the same time.

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.

As long as you install the power switch to fan where you can get to it that's easy to do. Turning the fan off and back on immediately starts the fan in high speed. Turn off switch for about 10 seconds to put back in humidity control mode. Light turns yellow for full speed and turns blue when properly reset.

its called economy. The fan runs slower but I don't recall if the unit actually turns off when the compressor stops.

When the humidity level you chose is reached the mist turns off but the unit stays on.

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.

Yes ,Once the dirsired hummidity is reach the unit will turn off and will run again when the humidity rises...I love this unit......Also you can set the timer to run for 1,2,3 hours and more....and then the unit will shut completely off...

Yes the unit runs continusly but you can hear when the condener kicks in to remove the humidity. When Humidity is low just the fan runs all the time.

No, the Crane does not tell you the humidity level nor does it turn off automatically.

Charles,The unit has been a little disappointing, but not enough to return it. The humidity it measures is about 15% off, so I just compensate for that. If you set it for 60%, the compressor and fan will run until it reaches 57%, which seemed a bit odd to me. The unit does not measure temp, as was advertised. The fan does shut off once it has overachieved on the desired setting.
