So I answered my own question. The fan kicks on at the end of the drying cycle to cool down the heat pump and condensor. If you're hiring, let me know!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your question about the fan in your Insignia ventless electric dryer. The fan in this type of dryer should generally run consistently throughout the drying cycle to circulate air for the condensation process. It should not typically only come on occasionally. The humming noise you hear without the fan spinning could indicate an issue with the fan motor or a blockage preventing it from turning. Please ensure that the dryer is not overloaded and that there are no obstructions inside the drum that might be interfering with the fan. You can also try turning the drum manually (when the dryer is off and unplugged) to see if you feel any resistance. If the fan is still not spinning and you continue to hear a humming noise, it suggests a potential mechanical or electrical problem. In this case, we recommend that you stop using the dryer and contact our Insignia customer support team (877-467-4289) for further troubleshooting and assistance. They can help diagnose the issue and advise on the next steps, which may involve scheduling a service appointment. - Mae | Insignia Support
