(electric forced air) furnace not cutting out at set temperature
A couple days ago, I noticed my furnace was continuously running - both
the fan and heat. I changed the batteries in the thermostat, to no effect and am presently manually operating hte furnace by tripping the breaker. The thermostat (honeywell programmable) was installed last December. Any ideas? Thank you, Karen |

You probably have a stuck relay controlling the strip heaters. Banging on the front of the furnace near the top might dislodge it. Removing the cover there and tapping on the relays with the handle of a strewdriver might do it if that doesn't. Bob |
