SOURCE: Amana 1 ton Residential AC / Outside unit comes on for a sec

open the service panel to check for control voltage of 24volts when tstat calling, The contactor should be pulled in, if contactor is down,and contacts appear to be clean, and the unit is still not running, it is a bad compressor. to test this unplug the black wire from the compressoror at contactor,w/ power off! Turn on power if fan works normally it's a bad compressor. However if you see a swollen split cap(5 wires to a soup can looking w/ the terminal C,F,and Comp), switch it first and start at square one.
You also need to consider the high pressure switch if its cycling on off on off.

SOURCE: Carrier 58 Series Furnace Blower Motor Won't Shut Off

Yes. If the high limit is tripped, the furnace will bring on the fan continuously until the limit resets. Often, they will not reset if tripped repeatedly. If the furnace is too large for your application, you probably are not able to move enough air to keep the heat exchanger cool enough.

SOURCE: Bryant Plus 90 Furnace - Blower works fine and

PRSSURE, DRAFT SAFGUARD, AUX-LIMIT SWITCH(WHEN USED)OR BLOCKED VENT
SWITCH(WHEN USED) DID NOT CLOSE OR REOPENED (DOWNFLOWONLY)
If open longer than five minutes, inducer shuts off for 15 minutes
before retry.
Check for:
* proper vent sizing
* defective inducer motor
* restricted vent
* excessive wind
* low inducer voltage(115VAC)
* defective blower motor or capacitor
* defective pressure switch
* inadequate combusstion air supply
* disconnected or obstructed pressure tubing
If it opens after trial for ignition period, blower will come on for
90 sec. recycle delay.
Check your air filter for blockage, check pressure switch for a buildup of moisture. Make sure your inducer motor is turning and creating a vacuum to the pressure switch. Make sure all venting is clear and free of water or debris. Make sure there is no water in inducer motor and all drains are draining.

SOURCE: My furnace comes on and heates the house for about

Make sure filters are clean . if they are stopped up the unit will over heat. Lets start there. Russ

Testimonial: "James, YOU DA MAN!! I would have never guessed the filters could cause these symptoms. Recent carpet cleaning may have added to filter clogs."

Need to wire furnace blower

Gas valve should only have a couple of wires...24 Volt & common. the blower will use one speed on a gas furnace & a common. If you have AC or a fan switch on your thermostat, then the high speed will also be connected on the blower.

Bryant programmable thermostat doesnt keep the temp have to put it on fan instead of auto

My guess is that you have gas heat. If this is the case, sounds to me like your main control board or depending on age of furnace, fan controller is not working. With gas furnaces, it utilizes 2 fan speeds. High for cooling, & Low for heating. Your thermostat only controls the High speed - switches when you turn your fan on & when there is a call for cooling. The only other thing I can think of is it is possible that the Low speed windings on the blower motor are open causing it to not turn on. Most motors have 3 to 4 speeds & only 2 are used. Switch the heat motor wires in the furnace (on the control board) with one that is on a spare terminal.

2004 Keeprite High Efficiency Furnace won't heat.

Do you have the model number? There is a problem with either the blower motor sensor or the ignitor. When the furnace get a signal for heat, the blower motor comes on and then the ignitor. If either one of those fail then it stops, waits and tries again. When the tech was there, if he did not replace any parts then he did not do his job. You can call them back out because the issue was not resolved or you can post the model number for us.

High temp limit opens causing furnace to short-cycle

An adjustable high temp limit up to 215°f is acceptable in some installations. Your service tech should take a temp rise measurement. All furnaces have data, and are different per unit. That data should give a temp rise number. As if the air entering is 75°f and the air leaving is 150°f, rise is 75. This will indicate an air restriction in the furnace or poor air flow if the rise is excessive per manufacturer's specs. I've seen the insulation inside the supply air plenum come loose and block the ductworks openings, which will act as a restriction and cause the unit to overheat. A slow blower due to dirty blower wheel, damaged windings, wrong speed, weak capacitor, low voltage, or wrong motor will all cause low airflow, and will overheat. Dirty or compacted evaporator coil also. A cracked heat exchanger anywhere near the high temp limit will be a bit hard to find/detect will certainly cause the limit to open. If this unit is having an overheating issue, it's certainty an issue you may want to call in a professional to help with. Try operating the heat in medium speed at the blower. If it's tripping within a minute or less, it may indicate a heat exchanger issue. If it takes a while, 2-5 mins, then I'd suspect an airflow issue. Hope this helps you!

High low fan motor

Your main concern is the temperature difference across the indoor coil for both heating and cooling. When you turn your thermostat from auto to on, you are on high speed.

If you have long duct runs and little return air registers then high speed
would help cool the house better. However in the heating mode, you
could lose up to 10degrees by having the high speed setting.

What they installed is sized for your house and the speeds should not have to be changed unless the ductwork is not sized right for the house.
Cooling should be High-Black wire.
Heating should be Low-Red Wire.

400cfm equals a ton of cooling= 1200 sq. foot, For cooling you need
High speed. For heating it is whatever the temperature rise across the
coil is, which is located on the furnace/air handler.

Furnace blower motor vibration

Check for a loose set screw on the motor shaft for the blower wheel.
Check the blower wheel for a missing balance weight.
Check the blower wheel for a dust buildup in the blades.
Check the blower wheel for a broken fin blade.
Check the blower motor shaft for excessive play.(more than 1/4 inch of play).
Check mounting screws on the blower housing.

Limit Swith on Coleman Central Heating and Air

Sounds like the limit switch is not bad ...... its just doing its job. You need to determine why he furnace is overheating. Are your filters clean? Is your blower wheel clean? Is your blower motor running fast enough? It might be set on to slow of a speed. The blower motor capacitor could be bad. Are all of your air vents in the house open? Are your return air registers blocked? Is your duct work properly sized? Put a thermometer in the return air duct. Note the temp. Now stick the thermometer in the plenum. Note this temp.. Subtract the high temp from the low temp. This number should fall within the temp. rise rating found on the data plate inside the the furnace on the same sticker as th model and serial numbers. If your temp. is above the suggested temp rise. you have an air flow problem. If it is within the suggested temp rise listed then your high limit control should be replaced.
Good luck

I have replaced the blower motor in my furnace and it is not blowing enough to heat the house. The fan is running but not enough to heat. The vents are warm but there is minimal air output.

First off as silly as this may seem check the filter! A furnace usually has several speeds to the blower. Heat speed is factory set at low! I would also check to see if the squirrel cage has a lot of dirt in it, this could reduce airflow. Make sure you dont have boxes, couches, etc. blocking the return air vents. If you replaced the blower motor, Be darn certain it runs at the same rpm and horse power as the OEM motor did. Furnaces run on CFM or Cubic Feet Per Minute. If you run too much cfm your temp rise across the heat exchanger will be too great causing a low supply air temp! If too little cfm than your furnace may overheat causing it to trop on a high limit switch! There culd be any amount of problems with oyur system, call a certified tech to give it a once over it will save you a headache which is usually cheaper than the bill!
