All,
Just noticed this issue today as today was the first time for me to move my Thermostat from Off to Heat. It has been in the Off position for about 3 weeks...previously it was on Cool for the Summer.
I switch it to Heat and I hear the fan outside start up like normal. But after a few minutes I don't hear it any longer. Sure enough it has stopped turning even though the house is still at 67 and the thermostat is set at 69. I move it back to the Off position and wait a bit and then move it back to Heat. Same thing works for a while then stops.
I open the unit outside and start reading about stuff online and figure out what a contactor is. I do the same thing...move the switch to OFF, wait 30 mins, move it to Heat..and it comes back on. However, this time when it shuts off after a couple of minutes, I press the button on the contactor and it starts right back up, but will only stay running as long as the button is pushed.
I figured this was easy, its a bad contactor but from what I have read....a bad contactor would keep the unit running until the power to the whole unit was turned off. So now I am kind of stuck as to what to do next.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in Advance!
Dan

This is a confused question. You want heating, but the outside fan running? it is supposed to run ONLY WHEN you call for cooling. I think the wiring to your thermostat or to your furnace control board is not correct. check it out first.
I like fixing everything.

Sounds like a pressure switch tripping. Is your air filter clean?
"Tip of the Day" Remember to remove power first.
