  • @topher8634
    @topher8634 10 місяців тому +2

    The high voltage on the low voltage probably came from the strip/blower interlock. Those snap action stats won't close R-G on a call for heat so you would connect one leg of strip load to NC side of 90340 with the blower on Common. That way blower will run regardless if strips are called for with no G or with G. With electronic stats the interlock is a redundancy because you can usually configure the stat to control fan and provide extended run. Someone put the interlock on the wrong terminal. Ive run into this before early in my career. A 90340 relay was replaced for the blower but instead of blower being connected to common the line was connected there. The interlock was omitted because with the relay wired like this it will run strips constantly. Sometimes the interlock would bring the blower on in a lower speed as well. Kinda late but i remembered this and thought I'd share it.

    • @HVACRSurvival

    Can you explain relays and sequencers in some more detail sometime? They tend to confuse me especially when wired like you did in parallel. I understand that they turn on the fan or heat strips but for example in coleman furnaces where everything is controlled with two relays with like 7 wires each its hard for me to understand. Thanks for everything I really enjoy your videos. You and my boss could pass for twins 😂

    One thing I don't like about that style crimper is when using the insulated terminal nests the PVC sleeve while being crimped will migrate outwards and interfere between the jaws and possibly prevent a effective crush upon the barrel of the terminal. Doesn't always happen, but sometimes it does. Have seen it happen, why I went to the non-insulated crimp nests. Looked like an old W-R mercury bulb t/stat. Nice! Kinda hard to get rid of though, eh?

    • @HVACRSurvival

    Weird fault having 120v on w. Normally on those the red wire in the harness goes to l2 on the load side and when the heating call goes through the limit it sends the other leg of 120v to the fan motor through Nc on the relay. It’s funny those old integrated fan boards have a delay off and when you put a relay in you remove that but the ironic part is the newer bards don’t even have a delay off and use regular old fan relays as well

  • @jman0870
    @jman0870 10 місяців тому +2

    You're supposed to run your blower through the NC terminal on the blower relay powered by the heat contactor so that the heat contactor turns the blower on and then any stat can be used, not just a digital with a programmable blower.

    I had similar fan issue. I had a burnt up blower motor, and a bad fan relay on a 30 yr old Lennox heat pump. Speed tap used for electric heat was wired to normal closed contacts on the relay then to a sequencer which was used to also energize the electric elements. But G was getting energized on emergency heat and bring on the high speed tap used for AC (normal open contacts) I could not for the life of me figure out why they wired it that way. The only thing I came up with is, I have a Honeywell 8000 stat, and G is energized on a call for emergency heat. I bet the original stat from 30 years ago did not energize G on emergency heat and used the sequencer to bring on the fan.

Kicks in when i set it at warmer temp but just blows cold. I hit reset button, didn’t work, i reset the circuit breaker, no change. Is there a way to fix it or do i have to go buy a new one?

    • @HVACRSurvival
      @HVACRSurvival  9 місяців тому +1

      I don’t know your capabilities, so you take all the risks of damage or possible death...
      You’ll need an electric meter to check the resistance of the heater element with the power TURNED off and element isolated. then you have to test the thermostat, it should be closed when calling for heat, finally you should check the limit switch and verify its closed. All these things should be checked with the power turned off and verified that its 0 volts AC. each component should be tested by its self with the power off. This is just the basics.
