My furnace's blower will not start without assistant. Does anyone have suggestions?

(Question moved from Introductions to appropriate topic area.)

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, pmbell! I needed to move your question to the appropriate topic area so that it will get exposed and noticed more by the best people who can answer your question. The Introductions topic area of the site is for introductions only and not questions.

Someone will come along to answer it eventually, I am sure. But, the best people to answer your question might not be logged on right now.

Thank you!

You may have a bad capacitor, this is an inexpensive part $5.00 approx. it is a small oval shaped metal part with two wires attached to one end, it is probably on the blower housing or on the motor. Good luck, Mike
