Indoor Fan Keeps Running - 10 Reasons Why

Indoor fan keeps running. Does your indoor furnace or air handler fan keep running and wont shut off? In this video I go over 10 reasons that can cause the blower motor to keep running and not turn off even when the air conditioner and furnace are set to off on the thermostat. Here are the 10 reasons I go over in the video:
1. Thermostat fan setting is set to ON
2. Blown 3 amp fuse
3. High limit stuck open
4. Flame rollout tripped
5. Low pressure gas switch open
6. Old fan limit control bad or set wrong
7. Bed thermostat
8. Shorted wires
9. Bad control board (fan relay stuck closed)
10. Extreme temps outside or other problems

Then this morning, I saw that the blower fan would not stop despite temp desired having been reached. I then realized that your very 1st troubleshooting item of the fan being on instead of on Auto was the culprit! So I do not need another visit from my AC tech, who had left the fan setting on. Thanks again!

    I'd shop for a control board if I was you. If it did that once, then it will probably happen again soon. That's the way that sort of problems go. I did the whack treatment (I call it "the fonzerelli") to a gas valve 6mo ago and the customer still has heat. They were cheap and chose not to order a new one. The older the component, the more luck you'll have with the shock treatment.

    Another to add to your list. I had a mid efficient furnace (Carrier) with the blower fan running all the time. Turned out there was a loss of power (power outage) and because the thermostat was calling for heat when the power came back on it the board wouldn't reset. I needed to turn off power to the furnace and then turn off the thermostat (lower temp) and then turn power back on and then raise thermostat. All worked.

But after turning heat on and then off, the blower fan resumed its problem again :( . The only way to get the fan to operate normally is in heater mode which it will shut off automatically after temperature is reached. Any insights will be appreciated.

I connected common wire to board in the unit. I hooked everything up as the manual said. And now the nest will not control the fan. The fan runs constantly. Everything else works. I then removed the nest and re installed the old thermostat and everything was good again. Any ideas?

    Had fan stuck on high, Goodman 3 ton system, Honeywell 8000 thermostat. Tech visit no help as a new control board not available and backordered for at least a month. Was concerned about high electrical draw and fan lasting that long. 8000 installer set-up booklet details how to do a system reset to original factory settings. Did this, and it fixed the problem. Try this first.

    great video ! you got me to fix my continually running fan today ! checked everything in order of the video, and it was ( i'm guessing ) a stuck "K3" realy on the PCB . a few taps and now the fan isn't running all the time . as an auto mechanic i am around tons of relays and i know i am living on borrowed time , but you saved me a service call toady ! THANKS !

    My limit switch was not working but after i purchased and installed a new one it was doing the same thing. I checked all the other reasons that you had listed but still same issue. Finally i took my meter and found that one of the wires from the board to the limit switch was bad at the (what looked like a fused end before the terminal connector) i cut that out installed terminal connector and it was fixed. Thank you for putting me on the right track, great videos.

    Just want to take a minute to thank you and thank you KZread. I fixed my furnace, Probably saved $500 - $1500. Control board was blinking 3x and induction fan kept going on and off itself. Armstrong furnace. I’ll explain the price range shortly. But it’s your video and another video that really helped after watching about 10 videos! You and this other person explained it very well. With that basic knowledge and understanding of functions, I was able to isolate the problem. Thanks again, read on for details :) If you have the will and ability to problem solve and research, it will save you a lot of money. So $600, the technician said was my problem, the control board. I said all you have to do is unplug and plug things, I can do that myself but since you’re here can u give me a better price. And the key question, “is this going to fix it?” I understand the answer, but I don’t like it, “we will only know once we do it”. I felt this was a fix but will lead to other issues/charges. So I paid their trip/diagnostic charge, thank u. I bought and swapped the control board myself. Control Board only $125. Dedicated about a day to educate myself. Found out, it was NOT the control board, so I have a spare now, in case. Turned out to be a short in my thermostat wires. Lucky for me it was right where the furnace was, I don’t know if the installer or other technicians that came before & did this on purpose but there was an open wire touching the side of the furnace. This is the furnace side close to the wall, so it was kind of tucked in between. I felt wow this is HVAC milk money, like a shady ponzi mechanic. But then again, there’s a slight chance it was random. Also want to mention the companies that I called are all 4-5 star, google reviews with many reviews.

    I'm an HVAC tech (not backwoods self taught- accredited HVAC school grad) this is somewhat common for the vibration of equipment to cause chaffing and rubbing of wires. This is why there is a Romex coming through the housing of the furnace, also thermostat wires coming through housing has a plastic tabbed bushing to help prevent this. There are unscrupulous companies, just like mechanics, who do some shady things sadly.

    I'd like to add one more! Well, it's really a variation of #8 (Shorted Wires), but my symptoms were not exactly as he described so I'll tell you what I discovered. I'm a home DIYer, and after watching this video I was still stuck, so I called my local HVAC guy. He helped me trouble-shoot over the phone, and here's what we found. CONDITIONS: All-electric furnace (heat pump) and a/c unit. Fan set on Auto, Thermostat control (Cool, Off, Heat) set on OFF! SYMPTOMS: Furnace blower came on in the middle of the night (freaky!). TESTS: Completed all of the tests in the video that pertain to my all-electric unit. I unplugged the motor wire from my control board so that I could listen to the relay switch without the fan actually turning on and off. Every time I flipped the shut-off breaker for the furnace I could hear the relay, so I knew my relay was opening and closing, but that meant it closed any time there was power to the board. So something was calling for power from the R wire. One by one, I started disconnecting wires from the control board until I discovered the Y wire (a/c cooling unit) was the culprit. Here's where I got stuck because I couldn't find anything online that mentioned this. So I called my HVAC guy and he said this meant my Y wire had shorted out somehow to the R wire or another source of power. He said this was probably at the outside unit and suggested it was likely either the Defrost Control Board or rodents. Yes....mice. :) RESULTS: So I went outside and pulled the cover off the a/c unit and--sure enough--there was a lovely large MOUSE NEST built in between all the wire connections! As I cleaned it out she scurried away...then I found the babies. I've got pictures--send me a message if you want to see them. :) So this explains the sudden fan activation in the middle of the night. Momma Mouse had chewed extensively on each of the wires, creating a massive mess. So I cleaned it out, plugged the mouse's access hole, stripped and reconnected all the wires, and I'm back in business!

    Thank you so much for your video. I found what MY issue was within the first minute of your instruction. I live in a very old building and my thermostat dial is the old fashioned round dial. One day I went to turn the heat down and I must have hit the auto fan to on with my pinky finger by accident. It was driving me crazy figuring out what had happened so quickly that would have made the fan continuously blow. The worse part is that the auto fan is on the far right of the dial and the heat and cool is on the left. So in the beginning, I figured that's what I might have done, but forgot to look on the right of the dial. What a dummy!!! LOL Thanks again for your help!!!
