How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before accessing safety switches.
- 1. Check filter and airflow: Replace dirty filters and open all vents to reduce overheating.
- 2. Inspect safety switches: Locate high limit and rollout switches. Ensure wiring is intact and connectors are tight.
- 3. Reset manual rollout (if tripped): Press the reset button on any rollout switch that has one, after confirming there is no visible flame rollout or vent blockage.
- 4. Thermostat fan setting: Confirm the thermostat fan is set to AUTO, not ON, which can cause continuous blower operation.
- 5. Professional service: If F5 persists, a technician should test each safety switch and the control board fan relay.
