Possible Causes

Fan switch set to ON at thermostat, stuck blower relay on Tappan control board, high limit switch open causing fan-only mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing the control board.

Steps:

  • Check the thermostat fan setting. Set it to AUTO instead of ON.
  • If blower continues to run, remove the blower door and check the LED code. If a limit fault is present, troubleshoot the limit circuit as described in limit-related entries.
  • If no fault code is present, the blower relay on the control board may be stuck closed. Inspect the board for burned spots and replace if necessary.
