Does this have an "energy save" mode or similar that shuts off the fan when the compressor turns off? (Most window units have this.)

Yes it does but this unit is really terrible. Not saying just this particular unit but this entire type of stand up unit. Lets off more heat than cool air. Takes up a lot of space since you need to vent it out the window. Don't buy unless u must

definitely does. without venting out a window, the hot air from the compressor would just pump back into the room. But it comes with the vent tube and window adapter...essentially everything you'll need to plug it in and get cool. not the highest output unit available, but it cools a smaller room quite well (as long as its vented properly and there's not a lot of warmer air seeping into the room)

None that i know of. It will just continue to pump air. Didn't know that the unit had an on feature. Good luck

Yes, the unit has an on/off switch. It does not have thermostatic control. Nice air flow

No. I have had this model for three years without any problem. Unlike Mr. Blake, my compressor runs quietly. One recommendation - when not in use unplug it. I have had past problems with compressors due to electric surges. Your question though raises my curiosity - why such an inquiry?

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.

The product manual addresses this question. the fan runs, but not the compressor. Not a feature I like, and i probably wouldn't have gotten the unit if i'd know this.

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).

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.

you set a mechanical limit switch on the side of the air pressure meter by rotating it manually to the desired pressure shutoff. When the set pressure is reached, the compressor shuts off. Has works well for me. This is a feature that other air inflators don't have. That is why I purchased this one.

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.

The compressor always shuts off if the temperature is reached in any mode, in energy saver mode the fan shuts off as well.
1617111
No, but it does draw a lot upon starting the compressor. I could see where poorly thought out outlet usage could cause a breaker to shut off.

When the desired humidity is reached and the compressor shuts off, the fan does continue to run. It will continue to cycle the air and if you have the uv light option turned on it will freshen the air as it cycles through the dehumidifier.

There is no "off" switch. The unit is always on but "activated" only when the door/window is open/closed.

Does the fan shut off on your FAD704DWD within 10 min. after the set-point humidity is reached and the compressor shuts off?

No, the fan stays on. In heat mode it turns off. This works the same way identically as on my Friedrich unit with simular specs (but this one is more powerful)
