I have a Whirlpool furnace and the furnance isn't kicking in.

I have a Whirlpool furnace model #nuge080kg01. The furnace is running, but the blower is never kicking in. I called my personal expert (my dad) and he says there should be a blower motor reset switch. I'm not finding it...any thoughts? I can see the fan itself and I can grab the stick sticking out the back of the fan and turn the blades...he says it might be in a hole but I don't see anything at all.

SOURCE: furnace blower not working how it should

first off buy yourself a honeywell stat, in my personal opinion lux stats are garbage, I have run into so many that are bad stats !!! but as far as your fan not shuting down, sounds to me like your fan center on your circuit board is bad and will not shut down the fan when needed, you will have to replace the circuit board, as the fan center is a part of the whole of the circuit board, hope that helps

SOURCE: my gas forced air furnace is shutting itself off after 2-3 cycles

I wouldnt have said it was the thermo-sensor thingie.

When you are switching the breaker on and off you are reseting the furnace and it will start the heating cycle again. It sounds like your blower motor is not working so the furnace heats up but because the fan never kicks in the furnace is overheating and shutting off. sit by your furnace while it is on and see if you can hear the motor? if you cant hear the motor but the burners are on then you most likely need a new motor. please note that it is normal when the burners first kick in there will run for a couple of mins before turning the fan on. If the furnace is belt driven then you might need new bearing or belt. give me the name and year of the furnace and i should be able to help more.

SOURCE: Carrier 58 Series Furnace Blower Motor Won't Shut Off

Yes. If the high limit is tripped, the furnace will bring on the fan continuously until the limit resets. Often, they will not reset if tripped repeatedly. If the furnace is too large for your application, you probably are not able to move enough air to keep the heat exchanger cool enough.

Miller furnance Lp that interm.will not shut off

if you turn Tstat off and it still runs then there must be a wire touching another either in the Tstat on wall or in the furnace. i would suggest you look close at wires to R and W to make sure they are not touching.

Coleman mach furnace wont stay running. i turn the thermostat down until i hear it click, then i turn it back up to get the furnace to kick on.works sometimes and sometimes not. blower will always kick on...

Hi, I don't know if you are still having a problem, but it sound like the flame sensor on the unit is dirty and need to be cleaned. If it has a automatic pilot, it will have a flame sensor. Its made of porcelin with a metal rod coming out the end, laying next to the pilot flame. Just 1 screw holds it in place. Remove it and clean the tip with steel wool or a piece of sanding cloth. If you don't have this set up, I would need more info on the unit, model and serial number. You may also have a faulty thermostat, but I do believe it is a flame sensor.

I have a Johnson aire ease ultra 90 gas furnance. I also have a outdoor wood furnance that has its own thermostat. On the original thermostat I turn the blower in the on position. I then set the outdoor...

I would first eliminate one furnace from the equation, the exterior wood furnace... turn its tstat down. Will the gas furnace then operate normally? Can you run the blower manually, as in summer mode? Make sure your filters are clean also... that can sometimes overload the blower.

Furnace kicks off and right back on

If this is a newer furnace, an indication of an error is that the room air blower stays on. Get in front of the furnace and see if you can see any blinking lights. Try not to remove any panels as you will erase any error codes. There should ba a small viewing port that you can look through. Once you count the blinks, look at the wiring diagram for the error code chart. It may give you a starting point. Can you tell us a make and model number of the system?

My furnance is acting up you turn it on it clicks on then lights the flame gets big then seconds later the flames go out and the blower kicks on what could be the problem ive had several people look at it...

If the fan takes too long to come on, the high temp limit may be opening. Could be a defective limit, hard to say without more info. Another possibility is a mis-adjusted heat anticipator. A normal setting would be around .45 amp. The heat anticipator is inside the cover of the thermostat (older, analog style). Good luck.

Ruud IFC Furnace Blower comes on and stays running, never lites

Check on the circuit board for an automotive type fuse that is probably blown. These fuses blow because of a short in the control wiring. If the fuse is blown a lot of furnaces run the fan all the time as a diagnostic. You will have to find the short or it will just blow again.

Fan in furnance

any furnace with a blower will go on your electric bill but it really should'nt draw enough power to raise your bill noticably unless it's running constantly.

My heater turns on the gas starts but then it shuts down

Try to locate the red and white wires either behind your thermostat or on the furnace itself. Jump them out and see if the furnace stays on. If you do it at the furnace you will need to hold the door switch down. If it runs fine, you have found your problem (the thermostat) if it goes out again, the furnace will display a number of blinks on the circuit board. Look on the reverse side of the furnace access door and there should be an Error Code chart to get you started figuring where to look next.
