Indoor blower won't shut off on heat pump

I have a Rheem 5 ton heat pump for the 1st floor & the same in a 3 ton for the 2nd floor, both stats work fine on A/C but the indoor blower runs continuously fan switch on auto . They are 3 years old & since I bought these new on the internet Honeywell won't do anything on replacing. We only use this for back-up heat, our primary is a wood fired boiler with in floor hydronic heating.

Were they always like this? If so from the beginning and the thermostat wiring is proven to be ok then it is conceivable that the thermostat is the cause of the issue since it is controlling the operation of the fan - in auto position fan should only turn on when the compressor runs.

If there is also a relay involved in the fan operation you might check to make sure that the relay is not stuck in the closed position, leaving the fan on at all times.

I would look to replace a relay that is not shutting off or replace the thermostat itself.

Will a th5000 work with a ruud dual fuel

Are you talking about a pro 5000 Thermostat??? if so then NO it will not work.With this stat you do not have a temperature lock on the heat pump. Say you don't want the heat pump to run below 25 degrees. it won't shut the heat pump. And you don't want the heat pump to run at the same time as the furnace. With the Pro 8000 3 heat and 2 cool thermostat you can lock out the heat pump at 25 degrees outside an turn the furnace on. You will have to install an outdoor thermostat hooked up to the pro 8000 it usually comes with the stat. Honeywell products.

I have a Rheem a/c - heating unit. Model # RKKA A048JK10E. When I turn the heater on the blower does not come on. But it comes on when the A/C is on.

Check your T-stat is programmed correctly. If you have a heat pump your stat should control the blower if you have a gas fired heating system your unit should control the blower.

Cannot get Hunter stat 44155c that is connected to a Rheem 1210b to shut off after the stat reaches the set temp. How is an original 7 wire connected to the Hunter stat?

y is to condensor contactor wire
c is common
r is power
w/w1 heat strips
o/b reversing valve
e/w2/aux heat strip also
g is blower

For a rheem unit, make sure reversing vavle is set for "B" not O.
Blower may run for up to 120 seconds after shut off. My experience with hunter stats are not good (even out of box). Recommend honeywell tsat.

1970's Rheem electric furnace

no the older rheems had a sequencer for the heat that turned on the blower at the same time that the heat strios are energized. so the first thing that you need to do is figure out the sequencer that is keeping the fan running and get it replaced.
