Furnance will not shut off

Carrier electric unit. The fan will not shut off. Honeywell chrometerm III thermostat off switch has no effect. Only the main breaker shuts off the unit

    Diagnosis

    It's hard to diagnose a problem over the internet. My best suggestion to you is to call a pro to look at it.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    Sequencer stuck!!!

    Almost for sure it is a stuck sequencer causing this. contacts probably fused. Inside control cabinet is where you will find. Don't go in there unless you understand electricity and it's hazards. Tim

    Fan on

    Could possibly be tripping a limit switch which would keep the fan on, could be a stuck relay, or the stat.

    Along with all the good advice given

    have you done any work in the house lately, a misplaced nail or staple may have penitrated a t-tsat wire, had it happen to a customer who installed a new t-stat and while pulling the existing wire out of the wall scrapped the insulation off the wires and the staple created a short.
