Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I, like several others who have purchased this fan experienced the same problem with the thermostat. From the moment I turned it on the temperature indicator continued to rise (instead of decline) even though it was 65° outside and 75° inside. Having read the reviews prior to making the purchase, I made the mistake of assuming that the poor design and assembly would have been corrected since almost three years had passed since "Wayne-in-Seattle" first posted his problem with the thermostat back on August 30, 2004.Bionaire can rest assured that this will be the LAST of their products I will ever purchase! Correcting the problem is fairly simple; all you need to do is reposition the temperature sensing wire inside the control panel so the heat generated inside does not influence the temperature sensor. The only tool you will need will be a small Phillips had screwdriver. Remove the seven screws on the back of the unit. You will not be able to completely remove the back panel unless you can figure out how to do so without breaking the accordion expansion panel on the right side of the unit. You will however be able to separate the back from the front enough to remove the control panel cover inside(no screws involved). Once inside you will see two white wires that are connected to the circuit board. One of those wires is approximately 3 inches long and is only connected to the board on one end; the other end hangs freely; this is the temperature sensing wire. The last inch of this wire has also been stripped of its coating and taped. Carefully reposition the the wire toward the top of the unit, pulling it taut so that no part of it touches the circuit board, taping it if necessary (approximately 1.25 inches will stick out when you're done). Replace the control panel cover, screw the unit back together and you are DONE! The next time you turn it on the temperature indicator will be displaying a more realistic value.
