gas furnace fan keeps running

[@tsmgguy]

Had the same problem, fan running on high all of the time. Tech said I needed a new control board, backordered for at least a month. Reading through the installer's setup instructions for the Honeywell TH8000 thermostat, I noticed the ability to do a system reset back to the factory settings. Did this and the system has been behaving itself for three days now. Also found AAA batteries corroded and dead inside thermostat, so cleaned the contacts and replaced the batteries with fresh ones. Give these things a try first.

[@learnjcbskidsterchickensga7594]

I flicked small screwdriver on limit switch circle part. Off!

[@LeslieDugger]

My Fan would stay on for a day or 2 after any power outage.. found out my green and red wires were slightly touching on one little part… separated them… fixed!! drove me nuts for the longest time.

Good diagnosis and repair. Nice job Steve.

[@adamcraig1568]

Nice Job Steve! The only other thing I could think of keeping the blower on would be the high limit switch being stuck open

[@atlasshrugged1855]

Yah one day my fan kept running other than that system was fine- when stat called heat came on and when stat was satisfied heat shut off but fan kept running no matter what. I read a bit then removed fan limit switch and cleaned it off, inserted it (one screw) and the system has been running fine ever since. Before I did a thing I called several different HVAC folks and quotes ranged from 450 bucks to a grand. Difficult to find anyone willing to do the small stuff diagnostic first. Same as auto mechanic. Auto parts sells replacement radiator peacock for 4.99 but garages want to replace the entire radiator and absolutely will not replace just the peacock and estimates Ranged from 800 to 1300

[@bobsoft]

The board is 20 years old. The capacitors will have dried up and gone high resistance. May also have a stuck relay. This is going to happen to any board that old, I dont care what make it is.

Steve, my furnace fan speed is set to low for cooling. I have a Rheem 2.5-4 [1000cfm to 1600cfm] ton system. The technician said since AC is 2.5 ton, blower should be set to low. We tried Med Low but it doesn't dehumidify like it should.... anything higher, it doesn't even cool... and the differential is way off. Heat speed is set to Med. Low.

With that Goodman gas furnace known for heat exchanger failures the family has plenty of carbon monoxide detectors with those Canary's lol. The undersized return opening I would say not a good thing as well as dirty air filter = Heat Exchanger killer lol.

Didn't they use those birds for detecting poison gas in the mines back in the days !!!

[@caryvandergucht6818]

Hmmm. I was almost thinking at first it would have been one of the safeties, or limits, something on the 24v side. But being that only the indoor blower and not the induced blower running the board makes sense. Good catch my friend.

[@MrDmadness]

I had the same thought originally.

Jesus. You might wear a respirator with all those birds. Always love watching your channel because it means my furnace is like... spotless... in comparison. Just cleaned my flame sensor and changed the furnace filter before Christmas. I even shopvaced the return and fan. I change filter every month (just set an alarm on your phone).

Those birds are there to detect carbon monoxide leaks a la “canary in a coal mine”.

Let's have a bunch of pet birds and stash them in the utility room with the furnace and water heater. Them ain't pets, them dinner!

[@DOLRED]

Birds are very sensitive to any level toxins in the air (Including gas; aerosol sprays etc...). A furnace room would be out of the question!! Plus, they need some daylight to thrive. Looks like a bird dungeon to me. The HO needs an educational adjustment visit from a humane society. Amazing how people neglect HVAC equipment and then complain about repair costs.

[@RayRay-nb7tn]

The dandruff from the birds do a number on the filter and furnace components. Shorts them out in due time. Air filter should be changed every 30days in that place.
