    No hot air, only blowing on "ON" not auto.
    I have an old Goodman Janitrol, GMP series furnace. I turned on the heat today at the thermostat by popping the heat up to 75 and sticking it on auto. Nothing. I put in on "ON" and I get cold air ablowin'. I crawled up there to check it out. Turned off heat, turned off power to furnace. Followed the "operating instructions." I turned the knob clockwise to off, waited five minutes, counterclockwise on. Same problems. Any ideas? Bad thermostat?
    Thought I'd give this a shot before calling Mr. Fixit.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I had that last year, and for me, it needed a new thermostat. That was all.

    Really? Both problems and just a thermostat! Did you just get one and replace and try it or did you look at the thing and see something wrong? That thing doesn't look hard to replace...

A/C or Heat does not work w/thermostat set "on" or "auto". [ 22 Answers ]

A/C or Heat doesn't work in "on" or "auto". Fan will not come on at the "on" position either. I changed the batteries in the thermostat. I also read somewhere to disconnect the "Y" and hold it to the "R" on the thermostat for two minutes. That will tell me if the thermostat is the problem. ...
