There's a temp sensor in the heat exchanger that turns the fan on/off assuming your furnace is that old , newer ones are microprocessor controlled . Looks like a little box with a disc inside and some pointers on the disc . Try rotating that disc , carefully so you don't change the pointer settings . You ARE closing the blower box door aren't you ? There's an interlock switch there too that'll kill the fan . -- Snag |

Turn it to on to see what happens. |

If it did, then you probably dont have the thermostat wired correctly, or it's defective. (anything can be defective, even new stuff). Of course if the new one has batteries, be sure they are good. If this dont help, and you post more, how many wires go to the thermostat? Is it also for air conditioning? What is the thermostat brand-model? What kind of furnace? |

Amazing how people expect answers when they don't give the most basic info. |

Well, when we had one, I really didn't want it boiling. 180F, good. 212F *very* bad! |
