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.
