Does anyone have advice for a Janitrol Model A36-15. It has worked well for 11 years with the exception of one relay contactor or some little peice of electrical stuff in the cabinet in the basement. It seems to stick on. The fan outside will be running but the blower unit in the basement will not be running. You can turn the thermostat off and on and it will kick the blower in the basement on. It seems to be a contactor stuck or something like that.

Please Help

Turn the breaker off to your indoor air handler/furnace....if thee outdoor unit continues to run, it's a sticking contactor and needs to be replaced. If it shuts down then you need to look at the quality of the thermostat and if it is wired properly.
