HELLO, JUST CAME HOME IN NJ TO FIND HEAT NOT WORKING. FURNACE IS A RHEEM CLASSIC 90, MODEL#rcba-3765gg21x1. Have power to unit, breaker is on, when I depress covers interlock switch, LEDs light briefly & I can hear what sounds like a burner starting. Blower does not come on. Verified Thermostat is on; set fan to ON, no change. Any suggestions ?

Carefully feel the blower motor - is it hot?

Found my own answer THIS time. Turns out the Blower fan seems to be on the same breaker as the AC. Though NO breakers were noticeably tripped, after resetting the ACs breaker, all is well. No chilly night tonight. :cool:
