Barbara, are you running the unit in a continuous mode (i.e Using a hose to drain the unit)? Or is the water draining into the water collection bucket?
If you are not using a hose for continual drainage, the fan will not run constantly. It requires that, for continual operation.
Also, you may have the humidity extraction level set to high. Lower it to 35%. Also, remove and check the air intake filter, as it may need cleaning.
Dehumidifiers that are not Low Temp models have a difficult time operating in basement applications. Because the air temp at floor level is colder than at shoulder level. At temperatures between 40 & 60 degree F, regular dehumidifiers struggle to keep up. Raising it up off the flow on to a sturdy table, counter top, etc that can handle the weight of the unit, plus a full bucket of water can really help.
I hope this was of assistance and thanks for choosing FixYa.
If you only change the battery in the hand-held remote, there should be another one in the fan housing that also needs changing. Always change all the batteries at the same time.
The code switches are very small two position slide switches. Start with one fan and open the handheld fan controller. You will see the small slide switches that set the code, they may be in the battery compartment and do not look like typical switches. However you set the code on the hand held, you need to set the same code on the fan itself. The switches on the fan are usually in the motor cage and will look very similar to the hand held switches.
Set new codes in one fan and set another code on one of the others. The third fan should be fine.
Please message me if you have problems doing this.

The temperature actuated switch is stuck in the ON position if the cooling fan(s) continue to operate after the engine has cooled down. Locate the defective sensor switch and replace it to eliminate the problem. This could be continuous or intermittent and either way if the switch is faulty it should be replaced.
