Heating, Air Conditioning, Fridge, HVAC - AC blower turns on by itself


Expert: Howard Livingston - 11/8/2009

Question
With the fan switched to auto, heating and cooling in off position.  the fan intermittently turns on for 10mins and cycles off and repeats the cycle.  i removed the thermostat, but still repeats the cycle. i have a digital ritetemp thermostat.

Answer
Wow, Ralh, thats really weird. A circuit board controlled furnace has a timed circuit for blower control. That circuit could be faulty. The older kind of furnace control has a heat sensing switch that is adjustable. Maybe this kind is set too low temp & needs adjusting upward. Which one do you have ?
