    Carrier thermostat
    My carrier thermostat was working, but then fan ran continuous. Checked thermostat, not lit.
    Book says internal power source, not battery, could this have given up, even with power still on? Is this renewable or do I need a new thermostat? It is 10 years old.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately likely it is the relay for the fan. A cheap little part located on an expensive circuit board and prone to failure. The thermostat would be much cheaper to replace. Try pulling the green wire off either the circuit board or thermostat, and see if the fan still runs. If so, the problem is in the furnace.

Carrier Furnace [ 4 Answers ]

I am looking at furnace for a friend. The furnace will come on with that small fan and the pilot will light. However, the burner will not catch. This unit has a igniter I suspect that the igniter is bad. Is there any way to test it?
