Starting blower I have an amana 80sse heat furnace that will not come on. We have no reset button. I have off both of the plates, I can push a button on the bottom that will turn on the fan but then it goes back off and the heat is still not working in my house. Please help 49degrees outside tonight.

Are you sure the thermostat is calling for heat? If you have a programmable thermostat, when was the last time you changed the batteries? I would turn off the power, pull the thermostat off the sub base and put a jumper between terminals R & W. Turn the power back on and see if it wants to come on. Outside of that its time to call the repair man

Not much info to go on, but lets look at a few possibilities. Your thermostat could be turned to the ?Fan On? setting, make sure you put it in the ?Auto? mode. Or it could be bad, or there could be a short in the wiring. Open up the access panel on your furnace. Lets eliminate the thermostat from the equation by disconnecting the red, white and if you have a yellow wire at the furnace. Mark down which wire went where. The furnace will have a door safety switch that will have to be taped temporarily closed to test the furnace. With a short piece of wire (2-3" long), strip off 1/2 inch of the insulation on both ends. Secure one end on the R terminal where you removed the red wire from your thermostat. Take the other end and touch the G terminal on the same electrical board. Your fan will start. Don't worry about an electrical shock, the voltage is only 24 volts. Now with one end still attached to the R terminal, touch the W terminal where the white wire was attached. The furnace will now try to fire up. Hold it there until you see that it did start. If you did this and had success, I would say it was your thermostat or the wire going to it. Last resort would be a bad control board. If you want, you can do test your thermostat wiring by removing the thermostat from it's mounting plate. Put all wires back where they were on the furnace. Make sure the access door is back in place and secure. Take that same jumper and jump across the red and white wires on the mounting plate. Again the furnace should start up. Have a helper jiggle the thermostat wires where accessible when the furnace is running and see if it remains on or shuts off. If everything checks out, replace the thermostat. Good Luck!

Sounds like if this is a heat pump, maybe it tripped out on high pressure. Maybe just unplugging the system may reset the control boards. This maybe due to a dirty filter or dirty evaporator coil.

This is no doubt due to failure of the "hot surface ignitor". This device lights the main burners for your furnace, and they fail a lot. I strongly recommend the replacement should be done by a technician.

SOURCE: amana-80sse furnace turns it's self off after starting.

thats going to be a gas valve issue. either their is no gas to the valve or its not letting it go through. and you also need to make sure the exhaust fan is running too.

It sounds like your defrost board failed. You will need a tech to replace it. With that model it may have a parts warranty but you pay labor(?)

Hi I'm Steve... Amana SSE80 Furnace Model GUIC070CA40 MFG # P1229003F Furnace works but air handler blower stops after 5 1/2 minutes, burner continues till high-T limiter triggered (See details)

Motor might be bad and shutting down on thermal protection. Is this a direct drive or belt driven ? .if belt driven try adjusting the belt tension or just replaced the motor

Amana 80sse furnace fire up work for about 10 min. It goes in lockout and inducer motor stay on

Robert, that is a typical indication of the furnace cycling on its high temperature switch. Look for a dirty filter, return air blockage or any other thing that would cause air flow restriction across the heat exchanger. If nothing else is evident, possibly attempt changing the heating speed to medium low or medium high for heat to improve air flow. But if it worked with no changes prior to this problem, it has to be lack of air flow that is causing the issue.

Furnace won't stop running

Jump out limit switch blower should stop and inducer should come on then the heating sequences should start from there

Coleman Presidential Furnace 6806A842 heat switch pops then cool air

Make sure all vents are open and filters are clean. Likely an air flow issue but possibly, though unlikely, both switches are bad.

Wires were removed to test the motor. I need a picture so I can double check that the wires were reconnected correctly. model no. GUico70ca30 amana 80sse furnace

Main blower? The white wire goes to neutral. Two brown wires go to the capacitor. All other wires are your speeds. Red is low, normally not connected. Black is high, that should plug into "cool" on the board. Your other one or two colors, EITHER of those can go to the "heat" terminal. Tape off your remaining wire, if you have one.

I have an Amana PTAC unit model no. PTH153B50AM. It will not heat, but the fan runs continuously in the heat mode. The unit has a label that says it has a manual reset for the heater, but no direction as...

First unplug the unit......Take the front cover off, take the wire screen off where the front fan is there is 4 or 5 screws that hold the plate that was under the screen. The electric heating elements are under that plate between the evaporator coil and the front blower wheel. It will lift straight up and give you access to the elements. In the electric heating element area there is a limit switch with a red or black button in the center of it push it to reset the limit it is on the right hand side by the controls. I wish I could find a picture to show you but I couldn't find one. It is not easy to get to... Hope this helps.

My unit just started blowing out cold air only when set on heat, what is wrong?

its on a lockout. there is a safety switch that is open do you have a multimeter? If not iside the furnace is a red reset push button if you push that chances are you had flame rollout and you need to call the experts that means either you have a cracked heat exchanger or a blocked or not working inducer
