    How do I get furnace heating fan to stay on to heat the house
    When I turn on the heater the gas comes on in the furnace the fan in the furnace powers up and than shuts off then the gas in the furnace shuts off I reached in the furnace and turned the fan by hand and sometimes it will go through the cycle and the heat comes on and the fan will run for 30 min. and then shuts off without reaching set temp.

    What make is the furnace? Model and serial number would also help. This could be many things.
