last week i posted about my rheem air handler....in the heat mode it would cycle once and shut down.. when it reached on temp again the element would come on bright red but the blower would not.. the blower motor read 130 volts on both line wires and the same on both start cap wires...so power to the motor..no run, i replaced it, still same poblem...a buddy said relay..replaced same problem..asked here about sequencer(learned it is just a time delay relay) replaced it same problem...so next in line thermostat (was rusted and brown in spots)..replaced it and element burned constant as long as power to unit... today i replaced the transformer (was not reading voltage to relay when thermostat engaged)... now the element is working properly and the blower motor runs constant.. i checked the wiring against the wiring diagram and i am 99% sure i have it right... can u help?????
only a fool does'nt ask a pro...zzzzzzap*%!@&+*!

Stop replacing parts and call a tech. U probably had a bad relay and in the middle of replacing it you may have wired it up wrong(just guessing). It will cost you less in the long run.
