Likely shutting down on thermal protection. Bad motor. Capacitors are fairly cheap, try that as Steve suggested.

SOURCE: blower will not kick on

The a-coil froze because of no air flow.
Let the motor cool down.
Then,
Check the capacitor to the blower motor.
If it is good, replace the blower motor.

SOURCE: BLOWER MOTOR REAL HOT

You probably have a shorted starting capacitor. Unless you are familiar with this kind of electrical repair, you should leave this to a professional.

SOURCE: have an older Trane furnace. no 'board' just

If you do not have a fan board you have a fan limit switch. That brings the fan on about 120 and off at 90. It is located in the middle of your heat exchanger. Check across with voltmeter when you turn it on. If you have voltage after it runs for a while its bad. Or just jumper across it and see if afan comes on. They just go bad. Pick one up at HVAC supply house or you can order on line. If you have an electronic thermostat. On the back it has a switch that says gas or el switch to electric and the fan will come on with furnace. Rus but you still need to change fan limit this will just get you thru till you get it.

SOURCE: room blower motor is not

I would say the motor is froze/locked up, Need to buy a new motor, all the information is on the motor itself. if this motor does have a capacitor I would replace that first. Good Luck Tim

Why would my fan not be blowing hot or cold air?

You could have a relay that is bad , Blower motor relay in the under hood fuse/relay box. Or the blower motor itself could be bad . This is where you need to get a wiring diagram an a component location chart an a DVOM digital volt ohm meter an do some testing . The blower motor resistor , is this the part you changed ? If you haven't high blower operation either it couldn't be the blower motor resistor .

Main blower runs all of the time.

If you bypass tstat, meaning hot wired blower, does the blower cycle on and off by touching and removing red with fan?? If yes than obvious problem in tstat. I was leaning towards a bad relay but if you can make it work by passing tstat, there's you problem.

The draft inducer comes on and the furnace lites as normanl Goes thru its cycle and kicks off. The problems is the draft may not kick on the next time and sticks and the motor gets hot, If I go remove the...

When a furnace is replaced with a newer style unit like yours with an inducer motor, they sometimes use the old vent pipe. These old style vent pipes are transite (light weight cement), the moisture created from your furnace exhaust is caught on the cool transite surface and runs back down into the blower blades or wheel bringing a white mineral deposit with it which causes your problem. The vent should nave been replaced with the heater using a metal vent material. You will need to replace your inducer motor assembly and vent pipe to prevent a recurrence.

Furnace blower blows cold air

It is possible that you did not set the new blower on the proper speed. Black wire is high. Blue is medium. Red is low. If the fan is operating to slow it can run to hot and trip the high limit control. Make sure the filters are clean. When the old motor went bad, the problem might not have been discovered rite away your high limit control might need to be changed.
Also anytime you work on a furnace you can kick up some dust. Always clean the flame sensor.
Good Luck

Problem with my AC unit

Hi Phillip,

Check your thermostat wires to see if you have any of them which are bare and touching. If any are touching separate them and tape em up and try unit again. You have a direst short in your cooling portion of the unit.
