I was changing the cold air return filter for my electric furnace and the wrapping paper was sucked in, how do I get it out or do I need to get it out?

Yes you need to get it out. Turn off power and take apart what ever you need to find it and remove it. The electric elements could catch it on fire. First area to look is in the blower wheel that is attached to the blower motor in the blower compartment. Happy Hunting.

Please try ,as hard as it may be to be nice
No need to think of or call anyone a idiot

Sorry.. your right, I meant to really call myself an idiot. I knew better when I unwrapped the celophane off it in front of the register opening. No offensse meant. I just remember having to tear open the duct to find it. Of corse it never made it to the evap where I could easily open it up.

Once again, I didn't mean to really mean to call him and idiot. Poor choice of words.
