Default Furnace burner remains burning after blower shuts down... intermittent concern

Hello,

My furnace recently started this. It goes thru the normal cycle but
intermittently will continue burning after the blower shuts down. It
will burn for maybe 30-45 seconds or so after shut down... then burners
off. Then after about 30 seconds the blower will come back on for about
30 seconds.

It just had its bi annual checkup with the local HVAC company about 30
days ago and the only notation they made was possible low batteries in
the thermostat. I replaced those shortly after the service because I
noticed this problem on the first use of the furnace, and unfortunately
have procrastinated finding the root cause since.

My furnace did something similar. The burner would shut off. The blower
would shut off nearly a minute later (normal). It would then turn on a few
seconds later then stop after a couple seconds and may repeat.
In my case, I found, on the control board, the power supply filter
electrolytic capacitor had lost nearly all of its capacity to hold a charge.
I had one in my parts case. I soldered it in and it has been perfect ever
since (2 years ago).
