Possible Causes
Clogged air filter, Blocked return air grille, Undersized or closed supply registers, Blower speed too low for heating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power before removing panels. Components may be hot.
- Replace filter: Install a new filter of the correct size and MERV rating. Avoid overly restrictive filters unless ductwork is designed for them.
- Open airflow paths: Make sure all return grilles and supply registers are open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.
- Check blower wheel: Inspect for heavy dust buildup and clean if necessary to restore airflow.
- Professional adjustment: If overheating persists, a technician may need to increase blower speed or evaluate duct sizing for the Kelvinator furnace.
