    AC Blower Motor Runs Constantly and Smell Burned Electrical
    Hello, first off I think I have a forced air heating/AC unit mounted in our hall closet.
    I am having a problem with my AC blower motor running constantly. It was only off for 1 day before I tried to turn it on again and the problem occurred.

    When I first turned it on the thermostat made a call but the blower motor didn't turn on like usual. I turned the thermostat off and back on. It made the call and the blower motor turned on. I walked away thinking it was fine. My wife immediately called me back the unit saying that she smelled burned electrical somewhere in the hall. I noticed the smell coming from the ac vents so I opened the hall door to the AC unit and noticed the smell was coming from there. I turned the thermostat off but the blower kept running. I ended up having to unplug the unit from the wall outlet to shut off the blower motor. Since I know very little about HVAC I looked around on the net for help. I tried testing for the 24V on the board with no success. I tested voltage at the transformer and got 120V on one side and 0V on the other side that looks like it supplies the control board with 24V (did I understand the transformer right?). I looked for the limit switch and removed it. I'm not sure of the value I should have there with the wires disconnected (guessing it should be Ohms).

    Any help is appreciated.

The original problem was that periodically the blower motor would stop running when cooling which caused the outdoor unit coil/condenser to freeze up. If I cut the unit off, let it melt, turn it back on, it would run fine for a period. That period could be 3 hours or 3 days. After taking a...
