Heat Blower Motor continusly running
I have a split Heat/AC. AC appears to be external to the home and is on its own CB.
Heat is installed in the attic. This afternoon, my son discovered that the blower motor in the attic was still running even though the heat was turned off at the thermostat. The thermostat is a six wire, Select Comfort model. My son, removed the batteries from the thermostat fan motor still ran. Then he removed the slow-blow fuse for the thermostat and the blower still kept running. Finally, he went to the main panel and shut the A/C breaker down. Blower motor still ran. Then killed the Heat breaker which finally shut the motor down. When he reset the breaker, the motor did not restart. Since the motor did not shut down until the power was cut, is telling me that the failure may be in a controller board within the heat plant. Please, I am open to any and almost all reasonable solutions. |

Josh, I am a reasonably skilled tech with a very strong background in electromechanical devices. Assuming I can get to the attic device (I understand that there are two of them up there) where would I start looking for the heat sequencer? How big of Chinese Fire Drill is it to swap one out? Obviously, I will need the correct model number to get the correct heat sequencer, but do you favor one model line over another? |

Donf, there will be a removable panel which houses all the electrical components. On the door of the furnace there very may well be a schematic. If you post the MFG and the model number, one of us will be able to help you more thoroughly. A heat sequencer is basically a relay or contactor. If the fan continues to run after the control circuit is broken, it's probably sticking. No attempts should be made by you to repair this until you turn off all the power. Next time it happens, try cycling the fan switch on the thermostat.

Hello to every one, maybe someone can help with my problem. My furnace blower motor will not stop running.

Okay, so the heating/ac guy cannot get out for a few days, so I started diagnosing things myself. My blower (rheem residential gas/ac unit, less than 6 years old) was slowing down and finally quit. I had the motor checked out and it was dead at this point (very dirty, had been running on very...
I have a 2 year old Goodman, gas, no heat pump. There is a flashing LED that blinks once ever 4 seconds. Also, blower motor does not stay on always. We did smell something like an electrical burn. I'm guess my blower motor is fried?
Hi, I have a rheem furnace in which the blower motor buzzes but does not run. I replaced the motor, and the capacitor(15/370 MFD) but the same problem persists. The motor that was initially on the system (51-18716-01) is no longer sold so I bought the one that replaces it ( 51-23017-42). The...
