    Electric furnace blower
    My electric furnace blower will not come on. When I turn the thermostat on I can hear the furnace click on but the blower is not coming on. What is this caused by? Is it the thermostat causing this or is something wrong with the pilot?

    What type of heat do you have; gas, electric, oil, etc? Did you try switching your thermostat to fan, or air conditionig position if you have it? This will tell you if the blower is still in running order. If it doe, then you need to look for your limit switch. This is what turns on the blower when in HEAT mode. The burner will heat you "firebox" or whatever equivalent you have, until it reaches a set temperature, at which time the limit switch will close its contacts and turn on your blower. Then it will remain on until reaching the low temperature setting. These are generally accessible from the front of your furnace and will look like a small grey rectangle maybe 2"x4" or so. If you remove the cover you will see adjustments there.
