Hello Everyone
I am currently having a problem with my 2 stage electric forced air furnace. I have searched everywhere for information but to no avail. The furnace is probably a 1975 model... this is the information I have... Lear Siegler (Home Division) Model MEF65

Last winter while I was away there was a problem with it. A heat coil was changed and the limit control switch was changed. I was told at the time that after those changes were made it still did not work properly. As I will explain now.

This is the problem: The furnace starts up properly. Once it has attained the temperature it shuts down completely. Then the blower starts to expel the remaining heat an shuts down. About 2-4 minutes later the blower starts up again and shuts down.

So as to start with a clean slate... yesterday I changed the following:

1) The 4 sequencers were changed - in case one of them was defective and a heating element was staying on and causing the limit switch to turn on. The sequencers I installed are L150-40V

2) I changed the limit switch in case that was defective with an the same type 60T12 F110

3) I reprogrammed the thermostat which is an AUBE TH144 P 2H2C

4) I checked all the heat coils to see if they were still good.. and everything seems fine.

Guess what... it still doesn't work right

I am wondering if the limit switch that changed back in March is the right one... maybe the F110 should be higher?
I am wondering if the thermostat is defective and if so how do I check that without going into an expense.
I am wondering if there is another limit switch somewhere that I do not see (maybe it is inside heat coil section).

I have timed the on again.. it lasts about 22-23 seconds each time. The time span when it stops I about 28 seconds. If I do not lower the thermostat it will continue to do it.

Please help...
Thank you in advance

Sounds like the fan on switch is set too low. Residual heat starts it up again. Try setting it up higher.
