Thank you! You’re such a great teacher that provides great detail on how and why things work or don’t. I watched over 4 hours of video for my issue and by watching your video my case was the first problem you mentioned, a bad thermostat! Of the videos I watched no one mentioned it. I’m glad I didn’t order a new control panel at $230. I ran to hardware store this morning snd bought a $39 thermostat controller and we’re back in business. My visitors are now all warm and cozy! Thank you again Sir!
Ac service Tech LLC.: thanks for your videos, it helped me a lot. I followed the 5 causes your recommended , I could fix my problem (package unit) once again ,, thanks for sharing your knowledge...
Just wanted to thank you cus I tried the bad thermostat test and did it. So when the man came to look over my air again I pointed out what you said he tried it to and it stopped. Then he looked at the thermostat and found the switch was on furnace. Flicked it and all worked great. Thanks again 😮
Thank god I found your video! I’m house sitting and it’s 3am and the fan on the unit keeps running So I took the circuit breaker out of the outside unit and it still ran! I can’t find the inside breaker box anywhere!🤷🏼♀️ so I pulled the thermostat off the wall and the fan finally stopped! Was so afraid to go to sleep Incase the fan burned up and caught something on fire! Thank you for your videos! Now off to sleep! 🤦♀️
For anyone who might need this: He says in the video that if you disconnect your thermostat and the blower, or handling unit, turns off then it’s a faulty thermostat but I don’t think that’s correct. When I removed my thermostat my blower kept running and would only stop when I opened the breaker for the furnace. He says in reason 5 that in this case it could be a faulty module. In order to completely rule out the thermostat, you should disconnect your thermostat and pull the breaker to get the blower to stop running. Close your circuit breaker and see if your blower comes on. If it does the problem is not your thermostat. If it doesn’t than the problem is your thermostat. I did this and narrowed the problem down to the thermostat, which I replaced, and the problem went away. It must have been internally shorted. Overall this video is very good. I couldn’t have figured this problem out without it. Thank you!
Thanks took my SEQUENCER out and took the top cover off and it's fried ordered a new one from Amazon, I'll update after installing the new one. I replaced the fried SEQUENCER with the new one today's system is now fixed fan now turning off on schedule. Auto and fan on working normally. Thanks for all your help AC Service Tech LLC! 😀
@@HsingSun The blower fan would not turn off when the systems reached the desired temperature. The strange thing is that it happened with no warning and the only way to turn it off was to go up into the attic and pull the breaker.
Thank you for your post this info. Sometime ago, I wanted to replace the Sequencer, but it got stuck mechanically inside the air-handler. I will try one more time to take it out and order it now.
Just gonna put this out here it might help someone. Figured out none of this is the problem of my furnace but the nest thermostat I installed. So when you install a nest or smart thermostat and it has an airwave feature, by default it will be set to ON. Just turn it off and that should fix it. Good luck!
This is the best video out there to troubleshoot this symptom you guys are truly masters of your craft, thank you for helping me. I have the fan on instead of Auto.
We have a gas furnace. Blower is on and not stopping, but I don't feel air moving through the vents. I suspect a flap or something in the ductwork that's temperature controlled is still closed.....? It's 2am, I can't really call anyone. Can I turn off the breakers in the main panel and deal with it in the morning? I'm guessing the gas value would be either electrically or temperature controlled, such that I don't need to worry about leaking gas ......? I had to unplug the furnace, that breaker also controls the garage door, so I has to leave it on. Pilot light (s) are still on, hope they'll be ok. I will try to actually diagnose the issue in the morning. Your video makes it seem so simple, I really hope I can fix it!! Thank you for posting this troubleshooting information!
Nice video. Okay, suppose the blower is NOT blowing when it's supposed to? Twice, after overnight severe thunder storms here in Houston, the next morning the blowers on the AC units were not blowing. We have three 5-ton units. All three blowers ceased to function. Everything else in the shop works. Everything! Including the 5-ton units outside the building. They come on, and they push cold air into the housing cavity. ( You can easily feel the cold air when you remove the air filters) But.. the blowers do not come on and blow the cold air into the shop. This is the second time in 3-4 weeks that this has happened. After the first time, the AC crew replaced those blowers. This time, we can't get them to come back for service. We've been without AC for 7 weeks now. I do know that there are no surge protectors anywhere inside nor outside any of the three units. What would cause "all three" blowers to go out after a severe thunderstorm? Just seems so odd. Thanks! Hot and Sweaty By the way, those three AC units were installed 1 year ago almost to the date.
In the last scenario where you disconnected the connector, and it keeps running the motor does this mean that the motor needs to be replaced, or are electronics in the motor tat can be fixed?
Excellent video on troubleshooting why the air handler fan continues to run. My issue was the sequencer and didn't realize it. I had unplugged that connector since it also had wiring for the strip heater which I don't use so that's why I unplugged it. When I plugged the connector back in the board, the fan started working correctly. Self inflicted but lesson learned. Thanks for sharing your HVAC knowledge.
Thank you for posting really I learn lot from you and I'm going to add one more thing on your video happened with me today on package unit or rooftop loss belt keeps the blower fun running
An excellent video..My Trane 3.5 ton with ECM has intermittent "fan continues to run" problems....Suspecting one of the relays you described. Sticking contacts. Will follow your methods next time it malfunctions. Thanks for this great video and the tech information ! jP in Titusville Fl.
Don't forget to check where your leads are plugged in. Just got back from a call that had me stumped but whoever was there before me plugged the blower into the bottom of the contactor so it ran as long as there was power.
Thanks so much for making this video. Was the green wire for me LOL I never knew it had such an important role in the air conditioning system. Boggled me for like 3 or 4 hours
First, awesome stuff! I brought an UVC light for the HVAC. Install from manufacture has it powered by 110 v AC all the time. Just doesn't seem efficient for a bulb that has a run life of 9k hours. Watched this video to see if I could tie it into the Blower Motor Fan. What are your thoughts?
I had to work on a smart thermostat and my problem was the c wire connected! The wires ran were 18/4 I had to run 18/5 and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps someone
The AC was working just fine. I left town for a few days and turned it off by turning off 2 breakers on the wall. Apparently, it was very hot, and the temperature inside was close to 100. When I turned the breaker ON, the blower did not turn on. What could possibly go bad from high temp? I checked the thermostat, compressor... OK. It is clearly with the blower. Looks like a control board inside does not have 24v. Like it lost power. Are there any heat breakers that could melt up? What about just short them - I do not use Em Heat anyway. Please advise.
Interesting. My AC fan upstairs has been stuck in on position for a whole day. Tried a few things but it keeps staying on. Think il just call up the home warranty and have them service it. It's cool to see bow these systems work though
Hi thank you for your video. The blower fan up stair which is not the one connected to the evaporator keeps running but slower than when the ac is on. What could be the problem. Thanks.
very informative; QUESTION; I HAVE A COLEMAN DGAT056BDF GAS FURNACE-I REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR NO CAPACITOR ON THIS MODEL; JUST THE POWER WIRE FROM THE MOTOR TO THE MOLEX PLUG-IN CONNECTOR; I ATTEMPTED TO START THE FURNACE WITH THE THERMOSTAT SET AT BELOW INTERIOR TEMPERATURE- THE FURNACE CAME ON AND PRODUCED HEAT; HOWEVER THE BLOWER MOTOR DID NOT CYCLE ON I HAVE A GREEN LIGHT IN THE CONTROL BOX AND THE FUSE IS GOOD?? IT GOT HOT INSIDE THE AIR HANDLER SO I SHUT IT DOWN; ANY IDEAS OR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED; THANK YOU, PATRICK.P
what color wire goes to which terminal on a new goodman heat pump installation in the air handler? fan will not stop running when desired cool temp is reached in cooling mode.Thanks
I wonder if my thermostat is bad! I will show this video to my husband when he is off his work call. My scenario: It is winter, the A/C system is turned OFF and the FAN is in the OFF position but air is coming out of the registers! The air conditioning unit outside is not actually running but the air coming through the registers is cold due to the outside air temp, I think. My baseboard heating system is on but is controlled by a separate thermostat in a different room.
Good video, nice details! Have a question, I have a Tappan 92.1 H.E. gas furnace, the thermostat went blank with good batteries in it, and new batteries, battery terminal had some bad corrosion on it, cleaned it up with vinigar.. then it came on, went off.. bought new replacement similiar model, and it did turn on cycle ignitor, and both fans ignited, Just before that I had a blocked n cracked j-tube, cleaned it, trimed and reinstalled. Also the power relay had a burnt Hole in it.. arouand where the two parts connect I believe. I was going to order another board, but will take some time to receive. Am I able to use the furnace for heat safely at night, or before going to bed and shut it down...?? I know the blower fan has two speeds to it ... low and high.. have not checked, but the high kicks on I believe..(definitely not the low speed. 10-15 minutes ran it, from the new thermostat installed. Also jumped it from the board with no thermostat before buying new one. Old one came on, then off after 5 or so minutes. Everything seems to cycle on, and off when shut down. Will check if it shuts down when it reaches optimum temp. (think it did but forgot) Part number T9AV1D12-22 Power Relay. that is damaged on from, smoke residue around front rear of board not burnt . Appreciate adice on being able to run the furnace temporarily/ sparingly while a new control board comes. Eric, MN
Hmm so I sometimes get little to no voltage coming out of the control bord (very intermittent) everything else before the last step is good. Is this pretty much guaranteed to be the cuntrol board? They are expensive AF so it would be an expensive miss diagnoses
Good explanation. I have short of not exact but similar issue. My AC unit keeps running even after set temp is reached at thermostat. For ex I set temp at 74 and system turns on and once it reached 74 it stays on for more than 25-30 min. However if I turned the set temp higher than actual temp than system turns off immediately. Also if I manually toggle the off button from thermostat it turns off. On average my unit runs for almost 1 hours even whenever I check the thermostat it’s at 74. What could be the issue?
My indoor fan keeps running but at like a half speed after it's suppose to shut off reaching temperature. I've pulled the tstat and it still continues to run at half speed. Any ideas?
Is the outdoor fan on hvac unit supposed to always run while in heat mode? It never shuts off while I'm running heat mode. In AC mode the fan turns on and off
I'm trying to trouble shoot this problem but it happens intermittently. I can't force it to happen. It happens like 1 time every 2 weeks. It seems to happen in the middle if the night so my wife forces me to get up and flip of and on the furnace. Is there a way to pinpoint this problem if it's intermittent? I'm guessing it's the fan relay or high limit switch malfunctioning. I'm confused because it goes into a regular state of working weeks at a time. Would you guess the problem is narrowed down to a 120v switch that is bonding a switch to stay live due to heat and overcurrent? As opposed to a thermostat or possible low power shorts from the thermostat?
Excellent video.. What this video doesn't tell you was that the problem finds YOU sometimes.. My Blower circuit board relay contactors must have fused together, and that burned plastic smell was pretty obvious... Causing the blower to run continuously.. After a couple of days the relay literally burned up and scorched the circuit board. blower kept running Since the Rheem AHU was over 10 years old, the original circuit board was no longer available.. Had to hire an AC guy to rewire the replacement, which I HATE TO DO... Cost over $200 This year decided to start replacing the electricalsthat hadn't been replaced/failed yet.. AHU Blower transformer and capacitor.. Cost $20.. Why wait for failure? Then outside replaced the contactor and dual capacitor.. Another $20 Added a hard start kit.. $30
I have a heat pump in a condo and my fan won't shut off when the temperature in the house reaches the set temperature. If I hit my inside unit a few times with the palm of my hand it shuts off. When the thermostat calls for heat or ac again the blower comes on but stays on again when the temperature is met. Is this a bad relay or something else in your opinion?
Very informative thank you so much we have had a HVAC man out here twice first he did maintenance but we have to turn the blower off by the circuit breaker because it does not shut off it keeps running but the temperature on the thermostat keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter when we turn it off at the breaker and then flip it back on after it's set for a few minutes it will turn the air back on.
Need help. The red wire that comes from the sequencer and then goes back to the board fried that white 9 pin connector and that whole wire runs warm and is discolored I assume from the heat. I replaced the connector but it still runs constantly and also won't cool (no a\c). Any idea what might be causing that? Also I replaced the sequencer about a year ago or so when it just blew hot air constantly if that helps. Hope to hear from you. Thanks
When it is hotter out my attic AC fan will come on even though the thermostat is set to "off" and the fan is set to auto. It will go off only when it gets eventually gets cooler as sun sets. It will run with thermo pulled. So the attic temp seems to have an effect. Thoughts?
First of all, thank you for the informative video! My fan blower wouldn't turn off even after I disconnected the fan wire from my thermostat. It stayed on from about 1am to 7am and finally turned off. This has happened like this twice now. I believe it's either cb or the relay. Unit is a single stage heat pump. Presently, the unit is working as it should but I know there's a problem. Will I be able to accurately troubleshoot with my multimeter if it's not currently malfunctioning? Has anyone encountered this before?
I had a bard unit that stayed running even after it got satisfied but it would delay shut off like your saying but only if you set the temp quite a bit higher than the setting.
Hi! I have 9 Haier air handlers with control boards that do not have fuses. Some of these control boards keep blowing out from power outages. I want to add an inline fuse to these control boards. Can you tell me which wire l should add the fuse to in order to prevent the control board from going bad and having to replace it. Thank you
UPDATE - It did fit !! yeah it was blower motor . replaced it and could tell it was working right away at the vents . It waa blowing weakly beflore so replaced capacitor at first but that wasn't it . Only $16 . Next suspected motor . Great that I fixed it . Century universal motor $74 plus needed bracket $30 YAY
hi, i have a 1991 bryant furnace/ac, fan continues to run after unit is satisfied, changed thermostat, limit switch, the relays r soldered right to the board. any help would be great. tnx, mike
That is all great information, but what about a blower that is running but running very slowly? There are no shorts in the motor and it runs fine when I turn the fan switch to ON,but in the Auto position it runs very slowly, which would typically be a shorted winding in the motor along with a main contactor that opens only one side of the line. Since the motor is not shorted to ground and is NOT an ECM motor why would it be turning slowly??
I have a Thermostat problem as you mentioned. It runs constantly. Even the Condenser Compressor is on the Rooftop. Worst location to place any A/C Unit. You can't reach it. Find a good way to get to it? My A/C Unit has to be raised. It feels like my Condenser Compressor is still running. Now how to fix this matter? Thank You!
if i unplug the thermostat and it kills the blower is it for certian a bad thermostat or could it be the thermostat wires? there is no wire going to c in the thermostat box so i cant check from g to c for 24volts
I have the fan running when I put thermostadt on heat or em heat. Tomorrow I will bring my meter to test ohms and voltage. My fan relay appears to be soldered into the board. If it turns out to be the relay stuck closed can a generic relay be used between the thermostadt and existing relay. Board is obsolete. Amana bba36a2a air handler. Heat only being used. Pulled the old ac unit out r22.
Ours is a combo deal. When the unit runs for awhile, the fan hangs. Pulling the thermostat stops it, but a new thermostat does the same thing replacing the thermostat works fine for awhile, and the fan eventually hangs again until i pull the thermostat.
What could it be if it shuts off like it should when I am running the AC but it won't when I run the heat? My brother is having this issue right now with his.

We have a gas furnace. Blower is on and not stopping, but I don't feel air moving through the vents. I suspect a flap or something in the ductwork that's temperature controlled is still closed.....? It's 2am, I can't really call anyone. Can I turn off the breakers in the main panel and deal with it in the morning? I'm guessing the gas value would be either electrically or temperature controlled, such that I don't need to worry about leaking gas ......? I had to unplug the furnace, that breaker also controls the garage door, so I has to leave it on. Pilot light (s) are still on, hope they'll be ok. I will try to actually diagnose the issue in the morning. Your video makes it seem so simple, I really hope I can fix it!! Thank you for posting this troubleshooting information!
Nice video. Okay, suppose the blower is NOT blowing when it's supposed to?
Twice, after overnight severe thunder storms here in Houston, the next morning the blowers on the AC units were not blowing. We have three 5-ton units. All three blowers ceased to function.
Everything else in the shop works. Everything! Including the 5-ton units outside the building. They come on, and they push cold air into the housing cavity. ( You can easily feel the cold air when you remove the air filters) But.. the blowers do not come on and blow the cold air into the shop.
This is the second time in 3-4 weeks that this has happened. After the first time, the AC crew replaced those blowers.
This time, we can't get them to come back for service.
We've been without AC for 7 weeks now.
I do know that there are no surge protectors anywhere inside nor outside any of the three units.
What would cause "all three" blowers to go out after a severe thunderstorm?
Just seems so odd.
Thanks!
Hot and Sweaty
By the way, those three AC units were installed 1 year ago almost to the date.
In the last scenario where you disconnected the connector, and it keeps running the motor
does this mean that the motor needs to be replaced, or are electronics in the motor tat can be fixed?
Excellent video on troubleshooting why the air handler fan continues to run. My issue was the sequencer and didn't realize it. I had unplugged that connector since it also had wiring for the strip heater which I don't use so that's why I unplugged it. When I plugged the connector back in the board, the fan started working correctly. Self inflicted but lesson learned. Thanks for sharing your HVAC knowledge.
Hi Craig, what part of town do you live? I'd like to enroll in your classes, have feeling you would be a great teacher.
I have same problem with Carrier blower. Stays on, diagnosed it’s the ECM. Is there a way to change the component within the ECM to repair it
Thank You. The first minute cured my problem. I had it On and not Auto
Happy to help!!!!
Thank you for posting really I learn lot from you and I'm going to add one more thing on your video happened with me today on package unit or rooftop loss belt keeps the blower fun running
This was great. I think the ECM Motor controller may be the culprit. I wonder if just an ecm controller can be obtained?
Hi great video.. Do you have a video trouble shooting a fan that won't power on?
Very good Instruction...concise and to the point..
An excellent video..My Trane 3.5 ton with ECM has intermittent "fan continues to run" problems....Suspecting one of the relays you described. Sticking contacts. Will follow your methods next time it malfunctions. Thanks for this great video and the tech information !
jP in Titusville Fl.
Thanks for your videos
Do you have any videos on Lennox Inverter units or any other venders
Don't forget to check where your leads are plugged in. Just got back from a call that had me stumped but whoever was there before me plugged the blower into the bottom of the contactor so it ran as long as there was power.
? Is that element wired correctly? Thanks for all you share.
Thanks so much for making this video. Was the green wire for me LOL I never knew it had such an important role in the air conditioning system. Boggled me for like 3 or 4 hours
Excellent teacher 👏
First, awesome stuff!
I brought an UVC light for the HVAC. Install from manufacture has it powered by 110 v AC all the time. Just doesn't seem efficient for a bulb that has a run life of 9k hours.
Watched this video to see if I could tie it into the Blower Motor Fan. What are your thoughts?
I had to work on a smart thermostat and my problem was the c wire connected! The wires ran were 18/4 I had to run 18/5 and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps someone
Big brother we just had a storm with power surge and now my blower motor runs all the time where should I start
another very informative video, the best HVAC channel!
Excellent instruction. Now I can know if the repair man's diagnosis makes sense!
Thank you! I am now a subscriber!
The AC was working just fine. I left town for a few days and turned it off by turning off 2 breakers on the wall. Apparently, it was very hot, and the temperature inside was close to 100.
When I turned the breaker ON, the blower did not turn on. What could possibly go bad from high temp? I checked the thermostat, compressor... OK. It is clearly with the blower. Looks like a control board inside does not have 24v. Like it lost power. Are there any heat breakers that could melt up? What about just short them - I do not use Em Heat anyway. Please advise.
Great explain as always , you are a born teacher !
Interesting. My AC fan upstairs has been stuck in on position for a whole day. Tried a few things but it keeps staying on. Think il just call up the home warranty and have them service it. It's cool to see bow these systems work though
Hi thank you for your video. The blower fan up stair which is not the one connected to the evaporator keeps running but slower than when the ac is on. What could be the problem. Thanks.
hey your talking about your out door fan condenser?
Is that Black wire in the. Photo outside the Case a Ground Wire for the Thermostat?
thank you for sharing knowledge sir
👍🙏
very informative; QUESTION; I HAVE A COLEMAN DGAT056BDF GAS FURNACE-I REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR NO CAPACITOR ON THIS MODEL; JUST THE POWER WIRE FROM THE MOTOR TO THE MOLEX PLUG-IN CONNECTOR; I ATTEMPTED TO START THE FURNACE WITH THE THERMOSTAT SET AT BELOW INTERIOR TEMPERATURE- THE FURNACE CAME ON AND PRODUCED HEAT; HOWEVER THE BLOWER MOTOR DID NOT CYCLE ON I HAVE A GREEN LIGHT IN THE CONTROL BOX AND THE FUSE IS GOOD?? IT GOT HOT INSIDE THE AIR HANDLER SO I SHUT IT DOWN; ANY IDEAS OR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED; THANK YOU, PATRICK.P
what color wire goes to which terminal on a new goodman heat pump installation in the air handler? fan will not stop running when desired cool temp is reached in cooling mode.Thanks
Would you do a video on Rheem heat pump 2 ton condenser fan doesn't turn off and how to fix it.
I wonder if my thermostat is bad! I will show this video to my husband when he is off his work call. My scenario: It is winter, the A/C system is turned OFF and the FAN is in the OFF position but air is coming out of the registers! The air conditioning unit outside is not actually running but the air coming through the registers is cold due to the outside air temp, I think. My baseboard heating system is on but is controlled by a separate thermostat in a different room.
Good video, nice details!
Have a question, I have a Tappan 92.1 H.E. gas furnace, the thermostat went blank with good batteries in it, and new batteries, battery terminal had some bad corrosion on it, cleaned it up with vinigar.. then it came on, went off.. bought new replacement similiar model, and it did turn on cycle ignitor, and both fans ignited, Just before that I had a blocked n cracked j-tube, cleaned it, trimed and reinstalled. Also the power relay had a burnt Hole in it.. arouand where the two parts connect I believe.
I was going to order another board, but will take some time to receive.
Am I able to use the furnace for heat safely at night, or before going to bed and shut it down...??
I know the blower fan has two speeds to it ... low and high.. have not checked, but the high kicks on I believe..(definitely not the low speed.
10-15 minutes ran it, from the new thermostat installed. Also jumped it from the board with no thermostat before buying new one. Old one came on, then off after 5 or so minutes.
Everything seems to cycle on, and off when shut down. Will check if it shuts down when it reaches optimum temp. (think it did but forgot)
Part number T9AV1D12-22 Power Relay. that is damaged on from, smoke residue around front rear of board not burnt .
Appreciate adice on being able to run the furnace temporarily/ sparingly while a new control board comes.
Eric, MN
Hmm so I sometimes get little to no voltage coming out of the control bord (very intermittent) everything else before the last step is good. Is this pretty much guaranteed to be the cuntrol board? They are expensive AF so it would be an expensive miss diagnoses
Thanks for this.. saved me a few bucks
Good explanation. I have short of not exact but similar issue. My AC unit keeps running even after set temp is reached at thermostat. For ex I set temp at 74 and system turns on and once it reached 74 it stays on for more than 25-30 min. However if I turned the set temp higher than actual temp than system turns off immediately. Also if I manually toggle the off button from thermostat it turns off.
On average my unit runs for almost 1 hours even whenever I check the thermostat it’s at 74. What could be the issue?
Great and helpful video man, I appreciate the info you provided, thanks a lot.
My indoor fan keeps running but at like a half speed after it's suppose to shut off reaching temperature. I've pulled the tstat and it still continues to run at half speed. Any ideas?
Thank you Sir Craig ! Keep on posting
More to come!
Is the outdoor fan on hvac unit supposed to always run while in heat mode? It never shuts off while I'm running heat mode. In AC mode the fan turns on and off
I'm trying to trouble shoot this problem but it happens intermittently. I can't force it to happen. It happens like 1 time every 2 weeks. It seems to happen in the middle if the night so my wife forces me to get up and flip of and on the furnace.
Is there a way to pinpoint this problem if it's intermittent? I'm guessing it's the fan relay or high limit switch malfunctioning. I'm confused because it goes into a regular state of working weeks at a time. Would you guess the problem is narrowed down to a 120v switch that is bonding a switch to stay live due to heat and overcurrent? As opposed to a thermostat or possible low power shorts from the thermostat?
Excellent video.. What this video doesn't tell you was that the problem finds YOU sometimes.. My Blower circuit board relay contactors must have fused together, and that burned plastic smell was pretty obvious... Causing the blower to run continuously.. After a couple of days the relay literally burned up and scorched the circuit board. blower kept running
Since the Rheem AHU was over 10 years old, the original circuit board was no longer available.. Had to hire an AC guy to rewire the replacement, which I HATE TO DO... Cost over $200
This year decided to start replacing the electricalsthat hadn't been replaced/failed yet.. AHU Blower transformer and capacitor.. Cost $20.. Why wait for failure?
Then outside replaced the contactor and dual capacitor.. Another $20
Added a hard start kit.. $30
Can you tell me will this issue cause my electric bill to increase ? it’s going to be a couple of days before I can get someone to come look at mine.
I have a heat pump in a condo and my fan won't shut off when the temperature in the house reaches the set temperature. If I hit my inside unit a few times with the palm of my hand it shuts off. When the thermostat calls for heat or ac again the blower comes on but stays on again when the temperature is met. Is this a bad relay or something else in your opinion?
Very informative thank you so much we have had a HVAC man out here twice first he did maintenance but we have to turn the blower off by the circuit breaker because it does not shut off it keeps running but the temperature on the thermostat keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter when we turn it off at the breaker and then flip it back on after it's set for a few minutes it will turn the air back on.
Sounds like a bad high limit switch
I'd check the sequencer and check the limit control switch.
@@jaywalton9552is the sequencer the same as contactor in outside unit
Need help. The red wire that comes from the sequencer and then goes back to the board fried that white 9 pin connector and that whole wire runs warm and is discolored I assume from the heat. I replaced the connector but it still runs constantly and also won't cool (no a\c). Any idea what might be causing that? Also I replaced the sequencer about a year ago or so when it just blew hot air constantly if that helps. Hope to hear from you. Thanks
When it is hotter out my attic AC fan will come on even though the thermostat is set to "off" and the fan is set to auto. It will go off only when it gets eventually gets cooler as sun sets. It will run with thermo pulled. So the attic temp seems to have an effect. Thoughts?
First of all, thank you for the informative video! My fan blower wouldn't turn off even after I disconnected the fan wire from my thermostat. It stayed on from about 1am to 7am and finally turned off. This has happened like this twice now. I believe it's either cb or the relay. Unit is a single stage heat pump. Presently, the unit is working as it should but I know there's a problem. Will I be able to accurately troubleshoot with my multimeter if it's not currently malfunctioning? Has anyone encountered this before?
You are a great teacher! Thanks so much! 👍
Glad you think so!
I had a bard unit that stayed running even after it got satisfied but it would delay shut off like your saying but only if you set the temp quite a bit higher than the setting.
Which I'm not sure what kind of motor it is but I guess if it has a delay before cutting off it is ECM???
Great job Craig
Thanks Bronchee Mims!
Thanks for in field test and how to You are the Man.
I have a question is there a link that is a good reference on ohm ignitors to see if they are in good range
Awesome video thank you.
excellent video, looking for see more like this!!!
Another great video.
Thank you
For sharing your knowledge….
Hi! I have 9 Haier air handlers with control boards that do not have fuses. Some of these control boards keep blowing out from power outages. I want to add an inline fuse to these control boards. Can you tell me which wire l should add the fuse to in order to prevent the control board from going bad and having to replace it. Thank you
UPDATE - It did fit !! yeah it was blower motor . replaced it and could tell it was working right away at the vents . It waa blowing weakly beflore so replaced capacitor at first but that wasn't it . Only $16 . Next suspected motor . Great that I fixed it . Century universal motor $74 plus needed bracket $30 YAY
hi, i have a 1991 bryant furnace/ac, fan continues to run after unit is satisfied, changed thermostat, limit switch, the relays r soldered right to the board. any help would be great. tnx, mike
Nice video. Explanation was really good.
Glad you liked it!
Would you happen to have a troubleshooting book? Electricity?
Very informative on the blower motor not turning off! Thank you very much
Mine was problem one, do we just replace thermostat?
That is all great information, but what about a blower that is running but running very slowly? There are no shorts in the motor and it runs fine when I turn the fan switch to ON,but in the Auto position it runs very slowly, which would typically be a shorted winding in the motor along with a main contactor that opens only one side of the line. Since the motor is not shorted to ground and is NOT an ECM motor why would it be turning slowly??
such a great video,
could having too much foam on the A/C lines (outside) [to prevent rodents nesting etc] in the exterior A/C unit cause this issue ?
I have a Thermostat problem as you mentioned. It runs constantly. Even the Condenser Compressor is on the Rooftop. Worst location to place any A/C Unit. You can't reach it. Find a good way to get to it? My
A/C Unit has to be raised. It feels like my Condenser Compressor is still running. Now how to fix this matter?
Thank You!
Craig, Rodents favorite chew is the thermostat cable.
Weedwhackers like em too.
Can u do more videos on air handler and p tech units troubleshooting because i do maintenance
if i unplug the thermostat and it kills the blower is it for certian a bad thermostat or could it be the thermostat wires? there is no wire going to c in the thermostat box so i cant check from g to c for 24volts
I have the fan running when I put thermostadt on heat or em heat. Tomorrow I will bring my meter to test ohms and voltage. My fan relay appears to be soldered into the board. If it turns out to be the relay stuck closed can a generic relay be used between the thermostadt and existing relay. Board is obsolete. Amana bba36a2a air handler. Heat only being used. Pulled the old ac unit out r22.
Ours is a combo deal. When the unit runs for awhile, the fan hangs. Pulling the thermostat stops it, but a new thermostat does the same thing replacing the thermostat works fine for awhile, and the fan eventually hangs again until i pull the thermostat.
What could it be if it shuts off like it should when I am running the AC but it won't when I run the heat? My brother is having this issue right now with his.
Great video. Thanks for this info. Helped me remember some things from trade school.
