    Furnace blower does not turn on
    Blower was working fine until today. Turned thermostat up to 70 degrees and the pilot lit the gas but after maybe a minute or two the blower did not come on and furnace smelled like something was burning maybe because it was too hot because the blower did not turn on. HELP please. Thank You
