Webasto heater/ac, fan is stuck on high

Any Webasto owners? Asking here, because as far as I can tell, there is no dedicated forum anywhere for Webasto products.

This summer, I replaced my 17 year old broken down Dometic system with a Webasto FCF classic 12k btu. I couldn't install a new Dometic because the output hose went the wrong way. Webasto was the only one I could find that was the right direction, plus it was small enough to fit in the required space.

It works, in fact just as well as my previous 16k btu. And the remote control is nice. However, the fan NEVER turns off. Never changes speed even, although the option is on the remote control. So basically the only way I can turn off the fan is by turning it off entirely.

Have checked the literature, can't find anything I'm missing.

Returning this unit is NOT an option. It was such a major pain in the a$$ to install, it sucked the life out of me. I'm not doing that again.

Any luck so far?

Uninformed assumption is faulty or incompatible remote but really just bad guesses at this point.
I was hoping someone with that unit would have posted by now.
Is there any warranty assistance? Returning remote for factory checkout as a start?

It's not the remote, it does the same when I use the control panel. It's not a deal breaker, but it is annoying.

Re: Webasto heater/ac, fan is stuck on high

is there a setting on the remote that causes the fan to run continuously? fan is auto or run.

Re: Webasto heater/ac, fan is stuck on high

The fan on my Webasto runs at variable rates depending on the mode setting (there are 4 modes, 3 heat and 1 fan only with no heat) and the temperature I select in the 3 heater modes. The fan never stops completely.
If your fan is running at a constant rate, I suggest there is some fault in the electronic control circuitry and/or the temperature sensor.
Have you contacted Webasto about the problem?
