    Hi all, After more trouble shooting I punted and called HVAC company. No freon so the low pressure switch would not allow the unit to start. Leak identified in coil inside air handler plus a rusty looking connection in the copper tube at bottom of condenser. Coil is under warranty but not the...

    Heat Pump A/C motor failure

    attempting to locate a capacitor on the outside unit, I found the unit's information: Goodman SSZ 140601AD 208/230 Phase 1. Going on line to the Goodman site, this unit number is listed as a heat pump. Also, looking into the unit from the top, I could see the wires, some canisters...

    HVAC blower turns on when system is off

    Curt, My problem with the inducer motor turning on when the termostat did not call for heat was always random but became very frequent as time went on. This would happen when the thermostat was in the "off" or "cool" setting. I could not find any tie in with a multimeter except when venter...

The bottom line is that I have replaced the circuit board and everything works fine. Yesterday I had the A/C on for some time with no problem. Tonight at 50 F the heat seems...

    HVAC blower turns on when system is off

    With limited time to catch the fan on problem, I finally heard the air blowing/sucking from the vent pipes outside the house. I later identified that this happens WITHOUT after I disconnected the thermostat from the wall. I still can not find anything that says this is a normal function. Guess...

    HVAC blower turns on when system is off

    Manuals read (about the 3rd time for various reasons) and find no reference to blower turning on automatically when system is off. The only similarity is the duration of time blower is on, about 2 minutes or the same as if the heat was initiated but the ignition did not take place. Question...

    HVAC blower turns on when system is off

    My Goodman gas furnace/AC unit will turn on the blower fan when my thermostat is in the off position. I have attempted to reset by pulling the front panel of the thermostat off, raised the on temp for A/C far above the current room temp but fan continues to periodically turn on. Any thoughts...
