Possible Causes

Improper duct balancing, Closed or undersized return ducts, Dirty Tempstar evaporator coil, Blower speed not matched to duct system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before adjusting blower wiring.

  • Step 1 – Check registers and dampers: Open all supply registers fully. Adjust manual dampers in branch ducts to balance airflow between rooms.
  • Step 2 – Inspect returns: Ensure return grilles are not blocked and that doors undercut or transfer grilles allow air to return.
  • Step 3 – Clean coil and filter: Replace the filter and have the Tempstar evaporator coil cleaned if dirty.
  • Step 4 – Adjust blower speed: Consult the Tempstar installation manual to select an appropriate blower speed that balances comfort and airflow.
