I am having problems with one of my two furnaces. When the thermostat
kicks in, the furnace will light, but the fan won't kick in. Then

the
furnace shuts down. If I turn off the heat (i.e. not on heat or
cool), and turn the fan to "on", it just hums (the other furnace

works
fine and the fan will run). There is a solenoid that clicks, then the
humming. The fan itself turns effortlessly.

Do you think this could be a problem with the capacitor, solenoid or
transformer?

Yep - or about 100 other things.


Bad cap, bad start winding, bad centrifugal switch, whats the other 97?



Hmmm - seems like you got yourself a small HVAC troubleshooters guide to
make yourself look like you know something sorta like you do over on HOME.
You know - where you spout off all sorts of paragraphs and section numbers
from the NEC manual (some of which have nothing to do with the question
which shows you are just looking this crap in the book without knowing the
meaning - yeah I scanned your messages - needed a good laugh). If you are
truly an electrician I pity the fool that hires you. FYI - there are other
things that can cause the problem the OP had --- you better do more

reading
(and no - just looking at the pictures won't do - sorry). It's little

wonder
why some of the PRO's here on HVAC are so jaded - it's because of idiots
like you.


PRO fiberboard duct boys........you're the bottom feeders of the HVAC trade,
and you know it, one rung above window units. Gotta make a big deal out of
a simple motor start problem........pretty ****ing sad. Oh, that's right,
anything tougher than that and you have to replace the whole unit, huh?
