Want this question answered?
Your fan relay is stuck or you have a bad tstat. Check your auto fan (summer fan switch ) on your furnace if equipped. Mostly older oil furnaces.
Is fan set to the "on " position instead of "auto" position ???
I have thought long and hard about this answer. It was tough, but I came to a decision. I believe if it is hot outside...the position of the switch should be on. Now...If it is not hot...or dare I say it...cold...it should be in the off position. I hope this answered ur question...God speed.
No.
Auto, and that switch only controls the fan.
No it is not advisable. Put it on AUTO. The furnace will decide when it is practical to turn the fan on. Really. No it is not advisable. Put it on AUTO. The furnace will decide when it is practical to turn the fan on. Really.
A thermostat has an Auto position and an On position for the fan's operation. In the On position the switch between Red circuit on the thermostat and the Green circuit is closed, this energizes a fan relay that closes a normally open switch and energizes high/cool speed. On the other hand, the fan relays normally closed switch will go through a time or temp delay, or time and temp delay, that is what controls low/heat speed fan operation. If in cooling you must use the On position to get the fan to run your thermostats bad.
Check your furnace fan. The air conditioner unit can be running but the air circulation is usually done with the fan on the furnace. If you have a fan switch on the thermostat, check to see if it is in the auto position. If it has the settings on/auto/off, you can switch it to the on position and see if you get any air movement then. If not, you could have a broken belt.

Yes, a fan should run counterclockwise in the summer. This direction creates a wind-chill effect, making you feel cooler by circulating air around the room.
It sounds like you may have an electrical short or a problem with the breaker or fuse associated with that fan.
With a typical fan, run the fan counter-clockwise in the summer, and in the winter, run the fan clockwise at a low speed. In the summer, blow the air down to directly cool you. If you have a large room, and you are on the outside of the room, you may want to run the fan in the opposite direction. In the winter, blow the air up on slow to pull the cool air up, mixing the cool air with the warm air at the ceiling, and pushing the air across the ceiling to the walls, then coming down the walls, and minimizing wind chill.
