Possible Causes

Stuck fan relay on Gibson control board, Miswired thermostat fan circuit, Faulty fan timer, Intermittent limit switch causing fan purge cycles

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the control board.

Steps to check:

  • Thermostat fan mode: Confirm the thermostat is not set to a fan-circulation program.
  • Check G wiring: Temporarily remove the G wire from the control board. If the blower cycling stops, the thermostat or wiring is causing the issue.
  • Control board: If blower continues to cycle with G removed, the fan relay or timer on the board may be failing and the board should be replaced.
