, posted Wed 16 Jun 10:36  
I have a heat pump and sometimes the unit's fan does not turn off after the air conditioner has stopped. For instance, if I have the thermostat set at 79 and it goes on at 80 the house will cool down to 78 and the air conditioner on the unit will stop but the fan will not shut off. The fan is on auto and it does not happen all the time, any suggestions?
Thank you,
Michael

If it's the indoor fan your talking about, then it could be a relay that's sticking. It may be on a circuit board or by itself inside the blower compartment.

Yes, I am assuming it is the indoor fan because it is still blowing air thru the vents. Is it something I can fix myself or should I call someone out? Because sometimes to unstick I turn the fan to on and then back to auto and it turns off.
Thank you again for the quick response.

After the last response it's got me thinking there might be a problem with the thermostat fan switch. The next time the blower acts up and runs constant, you could pull off the G wire from the low voltage terminal strip inside the blower and tell me if the blower stops.
Keep Cool!

It finally got hot enough to run the air again and when the blower continued I removed the G wire and it did not stop. I then put it back on, turned the fan on and then to auto and it shut off again.
Any thoughts?

Is there anything I can do to locate the problem? Where is the relay? Does this problem damage the unit or is it generally more of an inconvience?
Thank you,
Michael
