Rheem RBHC-17J14SFA elec furnace fan won't stop

I have a rheem RBHC-17J14SFA Electric furnace with a heat pump that was installed in 2002. The fan doesn't ever turn off, even when the t-stat says it has. I have also turned off the 24hr timer. I have to turn off the breaker to get it to stop. Any ideas?

Sonds like u have a bad safety switch they r round and have 2 wires on them usually and u can check them by taking the wires off of them and checking continuity thru them there might be one on the blower housing also either that or ur blower relay may be bad and stuck closed

I have a rheem elec furnace and the fan won t stop running after reaching call for temperture, what can be the problem and is it an easy fix?. thank you

Hello, usually when the blower runs continously it is a problem with the relay on the intergrated control board, when the relay sticks the blower will keep running. The problem is the relay can't be replaced on the board, the whole board must be replaced.

Do I need to use the heat trap nipples on my new Rheem electric hotwater heater, I am pressed for space Thanks

Rheem residential electric water heaters appear on following page:
http://www.rheem.com/products/tank_water_heaters/electric_water_heaters/

New water heaters are made with heat trap nipples pre-installed so the product meets industry energy standards.
Sample Rheem manual says: 'All models equipped with heat traps.'

If it is a variable speed blower most likely the dip switch settings. Check the installation manual to see how to slow it down.

WHY DOES MY RHEEM RBHC-14J11SFD BLOW ONLY COLD AIR? THE AIRCONDITIONER WORKS, HOWEVER THE HEAT DOES NOT TURN ON. THE THERMOSTAT IS SET TO ON AND TO THE HEAT POSITION.

Heat pumps tend to blow a much lower temperature outlet air than a gas fired unit would. Is this your first year with this furnace? Depending on your outside temps, an auxiliary heat strip may not be operating properly.

Rheem RHQA Heater:Blower works but no heat.

Is there a setting on the thermostat for Auto or Fan? If so, make sure it is in the Auto setting. You will have a contactor that turns on the elements and a relay for the fan. Follow the wiring diagram to see which relay energizes the fan then unplug it to see if the fan stops.
