    Is it heating normally or is the heat on steadily? If just the fan stays on, make sure the thermostat is not set for "fan on". It should be set for automatic.

    I agree with Grady, if your jome is not over heating then the stat is set or stuck on ON fan instead of AUTO. If you do over heat then the stat is malfunctioning or there is a fault in the mother board. Stats are easy and cheap to replace, mother boards not so much
