Indoor fan keeps running. Does your indoor furnace or air handler fan keep running and wont shut off? In this video I go over 10 reasons that can cause the blower motor to keep running and not turn off even when the air conditioner and furnace are set to off on the thermostat. Here are the 10 reasons I go over in the video:
1. Thermostat fan setting is set to ON
2. Blown 3 amp fuse
3. High limit stuck open
4. Flame rollout tripped
5. Low pressure gas switch open
6. Old fan limit control bad or set wrong
7. Bed thermostat
8. Shorted wires
9. Bad control board (fan relay stuck closed)
10. Extreme temps outside or other problems

Are you talking about a high limit switch that will not allow the heater to work? I've had limit switches go bad but the blower still worked amd shut off with no problem Of in heat mode it will not shut off because the house will not warm up so the thermostat can kill tje blower.

I’ve narrowed down to the relay board, and unplugged and reseated the connections and it worked to stop the fan from remaining on. But after turning heat on and then off, the blower fan resumed its problem again :( . The only way to get the fan to operate normally is in heater mode which it will shut off automatically after temperature is reached. Any insights will be appreciated.

Super informational video... I have one for you. Everything was running perfectly. Fan turns on and off with the ac or heat. This was with the original emerson thermostat. I installed a nest. I connected common wire to board in the unit. I hooked everything up as the manual said. And now the nest will not control the fan. The fan runs constantly. Everything else works. I then removed the nest and re installed the old thermostat and everything was good again. Any ideas?

Had fan stuck on high, Goodman 3 ton system, Honeywell 8000 thermostat. Tech visit no help as a new control board not available and backordered for at least a month. Was concerned about high electrical draw and fan lasting that long. 8000 installer set-up booklet details how to do a system reset to original factory settings. Did this, and it fixed the problem. Try this first.

I wish you were in my city. I've had 2 different companies come out to solve the fan running problem. Neither of them did any of the troubleshooting that you described. Instead they said i need a new HVAC system to the tune of $7K . My system works fine heating and cooling except the fan keeps running. My system is well maintained, not rusty and worn out. I'm going to do your troubleshooting steps myself and will put the results here. I've already replaced the bad blowr fan motor myself and replaced the condensor fan motor myself. I know I can do this troubleshooting. Thanks. You're the greatest!

He does a wonderful job! He asked to leave a comment if we ran into something he may not have covered so apparently when I hooked up a new thermostat to our furnace there was a blue wire and it was supposed to go where the yellow is and with it being switched around the fan would constantly run unless you pulled the thermostat off the wall then it would stop it took me quite a bit to figure out that i simply put the blue in the b slot when it should have been in the y slot but that seemed to be the trouble

This word of Advice TV has helped me on understanding how to fix my furnace problem like flame off right after igniting. So I did flame sensor and burner surface cleaning. And I found my old thermostat was causing another problem so I had bought new thermostat of Emerson. I did wiring per Emerson's guide and at first it seemed to be working OK. But later I found out the air blow kept coming even after the room temperature reached the target temperature. And checked the Furnace with error code of "Flame sensed with the gas valve off". I would appreciate your advice on this. Thank you

Another to add to your list. I had a mid efficient furnace (Carrier) with the blower fan running all the time. Turned out there was a loss of power (power outage) and because the thermostat was calling for heat when the power came back on it the board wouldn't reset. I needed to turn off power to the furnace and then turn off the thermostat (lower temp) and then turn power back on and then raise thermostat. All worked.

I'd like to add one more! Well, it's really a variation of #8 (Shorted Wires), but my symptoms were not exactly as he described so I'll tell you what I discovered. I'm a home DIYer, and after watching this video I was still stuck, so I called my local HVAC guy. He helped me trouble-shoot over the phone, and here's what we found. CONDITIONS: All-electric furnace (heat pump) and a/c unit. Fan set on Auto, Thermostat control (Cool, Off, Heat) set on OFF! SYMPTOMS: Furnace blower came on in the middle of the night (freaky!). TESTS: Completed all of the tests in the video that pertain to my all-electric unit. I unplugged the motor wire from my control board so that I could listen to the relay switch without the fan actually turning on and off. Every time I flipped the shut-off breaker for the furnace I could hear the relay, so I knew my relay was opening and closing, but that meant it closed any time there was power to the board. So something was calling for power from the R wire. One by one, I started disconnecting wires from the control board until I discovered the Y wire (a/c cooling unit) was the culprit. Here's where I got stuck because I couldn't find anything online that mentioned this. So I called my HVAC guy and he said this meant my Y wire had shorted out somehow to the R wire or another source of power. He said this was probably at the outside unit and suggested it was likely either the Defrost Control Board or rodents. Yes....mice. :) RESULTS: So I went outside and pulled the cover off the a/c unit and--sure enough--there was a lovely large MOUSE NEST built in between all the wire connections! As I cleaned it out she scurried away...then I found the babies. I've got pictures--send me a message if you want to see them. :) So this explains the sudden fan activation in the middle of the night. Momma Mouse had chewed extensively on each of the wires, creating a massive mess. So I cleaned it out, plugged the mouse's access hole, stripped and reconnected all the wires, and I'm back in business!

Recently I noticed that the fan isn't shutting off when it should and I have watched this video. Before I start poking around and troubleshooting, I was wondering - is there a flame rollout switch on an electric furnace? Or does that only apply to a gas unit? I have electric. Thanks again!

Glad to hear you were able to get your unit fixed! You are right, your furnace will not have those. Since the electric furnace does not have flames, there is no need for a flame rollout switch. Good luck with the troubleshooting!

Hello Lisa. I have the exact same issue with mine right now. I also recently replaced my capacitor and now my blower is stuck on. What ended up fixing yours?

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!

Still trying to figure out my issue. I'll power off my thermostat with "System Off" and the blower fan randomly turns on. I'll switch the FAN to ON, then back to AUTO, then the fan will shut off. After about 15 min, the same thing will happen again. With "System Off" no fans should be running or on. The system works fine otherwise. The heat blows hot, the AC blows cold. I replaced the thermostat, with a better Honeywell 9000 WiFi thermostat...and still the same thing. I paid a clueless HVAC guy to come out and he said "it's working fine, no problems." I can't have the blower turning on for 30 minutes on...15 minutes off constantly for 24 hours a day. So I just turn off the breaker when I'm not here. I have no clue and wasn't able to find it on your video?...

My father installed a new thermostat for Christmas for me and now it won't stop blowing. Would it cost a lot to get someone to check out wiring do you think? Thinking maybe something was installed wrong. The fan will go for hours after heat shuts off. Also worth mentioning it does not come back on after resetting it. But once heat is back it's back for hours regardless if I just hear 1 degrees. It was a 150 dollar smart honeywell thermostat :/

I just installed a new thermostat and everything works fine except the fan won’t stop running when cooling. I can change setting to heat and the fan turns off. But once I turn the cooling back on the fan starts up and doesn’t turn off. I can put the old thermostat back on and there are no issues. The control board and thermostat are both Honeywell.

Thanks for the great video, I still can't figure mine out. Carrier 9200 Nat Gas + Carrier thermostat. Fan runs in heat mode regardless of temperature. Fan in Auto. Air filter new. All elec tests done with Fluke 179 MM. No short between Red and Green. 3A fuse fine. Rollout (N/C) verified closed. Limit switch (N/C) verified. No Fault codes (LED Solid red). Heats fine, flame comes on/off fine and keeps house as desired. But the fan runs all the time. Off mode on Tstat stops fan. Setting temperature far below room temp and going to heat mode, fan kicks on immediately (cool air). Any hints to keep me from needing a service call would be great.

Very informative video. I have a question. Everything was running perfectly. Fan goes off when it reaches temp. Then I installed a nest and the fan stayed on. It does not turn off. No matter what so then I re installed the old emerson thermostat and everything worked again. Any ideas?
