FLS questions: (older Honeywell bimetal spring type - circular face with pin settings - limit off is fixed)
1) The Fan Off temp is varying by approx 10-12 degrees F which seems like a larger range than what I expected of maybe +/- 3 degrees. Comments? While not ideal, measuring the "Fan Off" temp variance at the register closest to the unit. Not specifically concerned with the actual Fan Off temp as much as the variation in temp when it shuts off, e.g sometimes shuts off when air at register is 70 F or 82F or anything in between. Of course variance concerns me also as to how it could relate to Fan ON or Limit Off settings.
2) The Limit Off setting is fixed at 150 F. Apparently common for this to be 200 F on natural gas systems. Is the lower setting related to the fact that this system burns propane?
System info: 16 year old American Standard (Trane) model # YCC036F1M0BA
Over the past couple years have personally replaced several items such as heat exchanger, motor capacitors, combustion blower, burners, turbulators, etc. Running on propane.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
