Unit's fan runs continuously even when the set temperature is reached; compressor cycles normally.

Possible Causes
Fan mode set to ON instead of AUTO, control board fan relay stuck closed, thermostat logic misconfigured
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal work is needed for basic checks; unplug before opening the unit.
Steps:
- Check fan setting: On the control panel or remote, set the fan mode to AUTO so it cycles with the compressor.
- Reset controls: Power cycle the unit to clear any temporary logic errors.
- Inspect relay (advanced): If the fan still runs constantly in AUTO mode, the fan relay on the control board may be stuck and the board may need replacement.
