Heat Pump Works but Fan Won't Shut Off
Comments (3)It's probibly either colder than the pump is desighned to operate in or the pump hasn't been able to recover from a frost up. Switch to aux/emerg heat and see it that helps. If not,call your service man. If yes,leave it on aux until sun defrosts coil then switch back to normal heat. Technicaly,it shouldn't do that but many do it anyhow. If it becomes a presistant problem,stay on emergence heat until this ice spell is passed and hvac contractors catch up....See MoreA/C won't turn off with thermostat temp adjustment - Goodman
Comments (5)I never shuts down with temp setting at all ( both fan and outdoor unit) . " It never shuts off or indoor blower stops with outdoor unit still running, then you do need a new stat." One person on another forum suggested disconnecting the green thermostat wire . He told me that the control board was bad if it still ran . I tried that and it did still run. A thermostat is inexpensive and easy to get but I would like get it right the first time . Could ou please expand on this some more . Thanks...See MoreCentral AC won't shut off, runs continuously
Comments (5)dave Is it just the outside condensing unit that continues to run or do both the outside unit and the attic air handler continnue to run? If only the outside unit then yes you probably do have a contactor that is stuck closed and will need to be replaced. You can test your contactor by removing the low voltage (24 volts) control wires from the base of the contactor then power back up and try the unit again, if the contactor is still pulled in (stuck closed) and the compressor and fan still run on the outside unit without the control wiring attached then yes the contactor is bad. Note you will need to cut the power off for the outside unit PLUS the attic air handler to shut off all the power. The attic air handler contains the 24 volt transformer and if you do not shut it down there could still be 24 volts coming to the outside unit thru the low voltage wiring. be careful out there people. I would never ever touch any electrical device unless it is proved to be off using a known good and correctly set voltage meter to check it. If you do not have a volatge tester and do not have some knowledge of how to use one please have someone else check the unit out....See MoreAC unit Fan will not shut off?!
Comments (2)The "Auto" or "Run" fan positions on your thermostat are associated with your INSIDE house fan. If you don't resolve it here, suggest visiting the Heating and A/C Forum. This post was edited by saltidawg on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 15:06...See MoreZachary Weidner
