You probably have a loose or broken wire to the fan relay. Check the wires on the thermostat first. Pull up on the bottom of the thermostat to remove it from the wall plate. You should see several screw terminals and the conductor wires that should be connected to them when you look at the wall plate. Check if any of the wires are disconnected or broken. If a wire is broken, strip a portion of the unbroken section of the wire and secure it to the appropriate screw. (The fan relay terminal is G for most setups.) If none of the wires are loose or broken, then you have to check for damage to the wires between your heating system and the thermostat or at the heating system. It could be a bad wire going to the jumper on control board or damage to the board itself.

I hope this helps. If the problem is not at the thermostat, you may need to have a professional diagnose and fix the problem. However, if you post additional comments about your heating system, Fixya experts may be able to help you diagnose the problem.

(we had the broken wires at the thermostat keeping the fan from working in the past. It's an easy fix if you are willing to handle small wires carefully.)

SOURCE: I had a Honeywell Thermostat

Is this a new hvac system? A new furnace can work differently than your old one. Does it shut off after a minute or two or continue to run? If it continues to run then call that professional back and let him fix it. If it shuts down after a minute or two then it is a feature of the new thermostat to squeeze all of the cool it can from the a/c coil and ductwork.Some of them have settings that you can adjust for blower delay on and off, read the manual that came with the t-stat and see if it does.

Should I set my thermostat fan to auto?

When you set your thermostat to auto, it will automatically shut off when it reaches the temperature you set it at. I personally set mine on auto because I don’t want it to run constantly. This will save you money on your gas or electric bill. The blower will run constantly if you set your thermostat in the on position.
tip

When the furnace blower runs all the time.

Usually when the furnace blower motor runs all the time
The limit switch or rollout switch is usually open or bad.
The furnace board is seeing that one of those switches is open, so it brings the blower on to try to get the heat out of the combustion chamber area, so the switch will close. But if the switch is bad and won’t close, the furnace board will keep the blower running continuously.
Make sure the fan switch on the thermostat is not in the "ON" position it should be in the "AUTO" position.

My heater blows cold air why? I have a REAB 1010s need manual

Check your thermostat to see what your fan switch is set on. There should be two settings - auto and on. If it is set on auto, the fan only comes on when furnace runs. If the switch is set on on, the fan on your furnace is running all the time. Which means when temperature in the house reach what you have set on your thermostat, the furnace kicks off, but the fan keeps running and blows cool air. Some people run their fan all the time, especially if they have allergies, because that's a good way to clean the air.

Honeywell MagicStat 3200 Fan continues to run--I flipped furnace breaker off for an hour, set stat to off, & flipped breaker back on. fan still runs. Fan control is on Auto.

Hello,If just installed the thermostat check that the wires are not touching anywhere.If not the case you have a open(tripped) HIGH LIMIT at the furnace and the blower will continue to run untill it is reset.

Furnace will not shut off after the setting is reached. have changed thermostat. Temperature reading goes down on thermostat, furnace still runs. Model : Goodman furnace,gmh95/gch9

Check if your thermostat is set on 'o fan' setting.
If it is, trey to set it on 'Auto-fan' instead.
since it seem as if the heating does go off,only the fan may be running continuously.
this is possible if the thermostat is incorrectly set or installed.
good luck.

The fan runs all the time.

Disconnect your thermostat from the wall. If the fan shuts off then you probably have a bad or miswired thermostat.
If it continues to run, disconnect the thermostat wires from the furnace. If this shuts the fan off then you have a problem with the thermostat wires.
If the fan continues to run with the thermostat wires off of the furnace,
then you have a problem with the furnace.
Even though the fan stays on...... does the furnace still work? If so I bet you have a bad or stuck blower relay. If the furnace does not function other than the blower than you most likely have a safety control that is open. Worst case you could have a bad circuit board.
Good luck.....
