Hi,

Will need complete furnace model number. Ensure the filter, motor. blower wheel and a/c a-coil if you have a/c are all clean.


Make sure there are no blockages in duct.


IF all that is good to go, then most likely going to need a new motor.



Thanks,
Robert

Hi,

Trace the blower motor wires used at that time back to molex connector. Disconnect the plug and find corresponding wire holes in the other side of plug. Test across to see if the motor is getting 120VAC at time it should be running.




Thanks,
Robert

IF your blower assembly has a run capacitor, with a call for heat, spin the blower wheel and see if it runs.


IF it still will not run and there is power to the motor leads, then motor is most likely bad.



Thanks,
