Should a Heil gas furnace blower kick on for 5 seconds every time after it completes a heating cycle?
Q. I have never had gas heat before. My Heil furnace goes through this cycle -- it ignites the furnace, warms about 20 seconds or so, kicks on the blower, and heats the house quickly and beautifully. Then, it clicks off. Five seconds later, the blower kicks back on for five seconds and then goes off. It does this every time. Is that how it works? If so, why?
Asked by Jay in Orlando - Tue Nov 6 10:10:03 2007 - Maintenance & Repairs - 3 Answers - Comments

A. No it shouldn't do that. The blower off time delay should be adjusted on the furnace control board. The control board has a built in timer that shuts the fan off. If it shuts off too fast the heat left over in the furnace can cause it to come back on. On older furnaces there is a temperature switch that does it. If your furnace is older, then the temperaure switch can be adjusted. For more info, check out the furnace page at www.hvac-for-beginners.com

How can I find the blower fan resistor on a 1995 Chevrolet lumina van?
Q. Should I work from under the hood or should I work from inside the passenger compartment? If inside the passenger compartment is it behind the passenger side glove box or behind the radio? If under the hood do I need to take out the blower fan? I bought the Hayes book and it doesn't even mention the resister so the only info I have is by looking at the part and it looks like it seats against thee fire wall but I havent been able to find it by looking.

A. Try tracing the wiring back from the blower motor. The resister pack in most cars is located in the ventilation air stream to cool it, so look along the ducts. start under the hood just because it's easier to eliminate that area first.

Is my new efficient home a/c unit blower never supposed to turn off during the day?
Q. My new a/c unit blower, air handler runs and runs during the day even when the compressor is off. At night it turns off automatically and during the morning. However, during most of the day it runs and runs blowing cool ac air and then just normal air. We have had the a/c guy out a few times to investigate and this is where it stands now. I don't think the house gets as cool and stays as cool either.

How do you replace the heater blower motor switch in a 03 jeep wrangler?
Q. The button that controls the speed of the fan in my jeep wrangler no longer works in the first three positions. Therefore, I'm forced to use the highest setting when I am running the air or heat. I believe its the blower motor switch based on the parts list but I'm no sure how to replace it without having to take it in and pay a fortune. Is there any advice on how to fix this problem?
Asked by Debbie M - Sat Jun 12 08:00:02 2010 - Maintenance & Repairs - 2 Answers - Comments

A. It is not the switch that is bad. The problem is the blower motor resistor. This is located under the dash near the blower motor and is easy to change. They normally cost under $30.00 at any parts store and you can change it yourself with only basic hand tools and there is no wire cutting involved. The blower motor resistor regulates the amount of power that the motor can use by limiting the amount of ground it can use. When these resistors go bad you lose the slower settings until there is only the high setting. Hope I have been helpful.

A. I would recommend finding the manual for your car, as it will provide step by step directions on how to do it. Start by checking your local library, as they often carry a Chilton or Haynes manual for some of the more common vehicles. If they don't have it, you can pick up a Haynes manual at your auto parts store, usually for less than $20. With that said, I would check and see if you can do it through the inside of the car.

Why did GM put the blower motor resistor in line wiht the ventilation flow path for the air conditioning?
Q. This is probably why speeds 1 and 2 burn out, because the blower resistor overheats when the fan is on slow speed maybe? Why didn't they allow for heat to escape from the resistor that produces heat? I checked for the mouse nest, somewhat anyway. Dont feel one with the blower motor out feeling inside. What should be the resistance of the circuit? How would I locate a restriction in the line. The evaporator and heat exchanger are right there. Should I be running a vacuum hose down from the outside to suck out anything that might be in the line? I am wondering whether maybe the flowpath doesn't allow for enough air to pass by on slower speeds? because there is enough blockage from the heat exchanger and the evaporator to stop it. GM removed… [cont.]

A. To cool the resistor itself. If you were to remove the resistor from any source of cooling, the resistor would quickly burn out. This resistor is prone to failure because of water leaking into the blower area and finding its way onto the board. It is a poor design from the get go.

A. Cadillac has a bad habit of putting the blower motor in the far right firewall usually you can find it by looking in the wheel well area behind the inner wheel cover. Look under the dash behind the glove box far right side to find the plug check that first and make sure its tight. Had that problem on a couple of cads.

Q. The snow blower is a bit difficult to pull start, but it runs perfectly.
Asked by - Sat Sep 24 15:41:49 2011 - Buying & Selling - 1 Answers - Comments

A. The value is going to depend on the condition and your location. A snow blower is worth less in Florida than it would be in Michigan, because of the amount of snow that falls there. I found one on line that had an asking price of $350, but that seems high to me. Assuming good condition, and all parts work, I would guess that the value is in the $200-$300 range

Asked by Jeff M - Mon Dec 17 21:56:18 2007 - Maintenance & Repairs - 7 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Agreed on something around 6hp for a minimum on engine power but also consider going for a 2-stage model instead of a single-stage model. You'll be glad you did. You'll want it to last for quite a few years so when you see how steep some of the price tags get, just divide that number by 10 & figure that's what it'll cost per-year over 10 years. Not so bad when you think of it that way. If you really want all-out dependability & longevity with very little chance on breakdown, hence very minimum maintenance repair & cost, go for the Honda. Right now they'll seem major expensive but when you're out there in frigid 10deg weather with 2' of snow, you're gonna be real happy that it starts within the first 2 pulls.

A. The blower motor is going out, or the capacitor has failed. Contact a reputable service company and have it repaired. The ice forms on your outdoor unit, as the indoor unit is not absorbing the heat from the home. Do not run your unit if the indoor blower is not running, you will overwork your compressor, and a compressor change out is much more expensive than a blower motor. Keep Kool
