Question w/ CPU fan running 100% all the time samrozzi May 7, 2013, 10:51 PM I just recently built a pc and everything seems to be working fine, just a few little worries primarily with the fans. With a fan cluthc your fan will rotate constantly regardless. The clutch engages and locks the blade to it so that it spins faster than normal the hotter that it gets. The only time that your fan will not spin is when the motor is off. It is a common misconception that the fan will only spin when the clutch engages.
Have a furnace fan that runs continuously? First, try this: Make sure your thermostat fan setting is on AUTO not ON.

Then, turn the thermostat to a temperature that’s lower than the current room temperature and wait 3 to 4 minutes. Furnace fan still running? Well, that’s not normal. If your furnace fan won’t turn off, you most likely have one of these 3 problems:. Your furnace fan limit switch is set to “manual override”. The fan limit switch is faulty and needs to be replaced.
There’s a problem in your thermostat wiring Unfortunately, you’ll need a professional to fix those last 2 problems. But before you call in a pro, check to see if your fan limit switch is set correctly.
We’ll show you how to do that in this article. Need a professional ASAP?
And we can get your furnace fan running normally in no time. Step 1: Locate your fan limit switch Your fan limit switch is located inside the furnace panel cover, usually near the upper right corner. The fan limit switch is responsible for turning the blower on and off at the appropriate times.
So, when the switch is working correctly, your furnace fan should turn on several minutes after thermostat calls for heat and turn off several minutes after the heat cycle ends. But if the furnace fan runs continuously, regardless of whether the furnace is heating or not, your furnace fan limit switch is either:. Set incorrectly to Manual or. Faulty and needs to be repaired/replaced Now that you’ve located your fan limit switch, let’s look at how you can determine whether it’s set correctly or not. Step 2: Make sure the white button is NOT pressed in Your fan limit switch will have a small white button on the lower left corner.
That button tells the switch whether to operate manually (run the fan all the time) or automatically (run the fan only during heating cycles). If the button is pressed in, the switch is set to Manual and is forcing the fan to run continuously. You’ll need to reset it to AUTO to allow for proper fan operation (see pic below for instructions).
Step 3: Call a professional if the fan is still running If your fan limit switch is set to AUTO but the fan continues to run without ever stopping, you’ll need to call a professional. Two problems that could cause your fan to run without stopping include:. A bad fan limit switch that needs to be replaced. Bad thermostat wiring Need help from an Atlanta furnace tech? If you’re still having trouble with a furnace fan that won’t shut off, we’re here to help. And we’ll send out an experienced tech as soon as possible. Related reading:.
A common reason a condenser fan is continually running within a refrigerator is the thermostat. This sensor takes readings from the refrigerator (and freezer if you have one) and flips the cooling system on when it sees the temperature isn’t where it needs to be. Once a thermostat stops working the fridge never has a sensor to tell it when to turn off, and it will just keep going. A basic test is to set the thermostat on the warmest setting; if the cooling unit continues to run, even when it's being told to keep the fridge warmer, you have a broken thermostat. Dirt is an issue for any type of motor and refrigerators are no exception. No matter how well your air filters are working, the fan will eventually pull in dust that can cake on top of the condenser coils.
Once this happens it begins to impede the performance of the coils, much as a dirty spark plug in an engine will cause things to sputter. As a result, your condenser will have to work harder to keep things cool, thus causing the fan to run continually. You can clean condenser coils manually by simply wiping the dirt/grime off while the refrigerator is unplugged for safety. The condenser in a refrigerator is a motor, and like the one in your car it needs constant airflow to remain cool enough for the working parts to remain in working condition. The vents that pull air into the motor for the fan to circulate are covered with filters for dust, and when that dust begins to build up it limits the amount of fresh air that can be pulled into the motor. This forces the condenser fan to work continually to try and disperse the heat. If vents are clogged you'll need to clean them, which is something you should do every few months for best results.

Over time, the motor itself can suffer damage and wear and tear after years of use. If this happens there could be a short in the motor’s electrical components which is forcing the motor to continually run even when it is clear there is no thermostat damage, airflow issues or condenser buildup. This is the least likely scenario, but it can happen with fridges that have seen decades of continual use. You can use a multimeter to check for a short in the wiring by touching the probes on the reader to the wiring terminals on your compressor motor and using the readings (which vary depending on make/manufacturer of multimeter) to see if there is a short or bad lead/terminal. If there is, professional help is required to replace the motor. A refrigerator keeps its cold air inside through the use of insulated panels on the walls of the unit, as well as the seal which keeps the internal air from escaping through the door when it is closed. This is usually some form of rubber-based seal which runs the perimeter of the door to keep the seal tightly closed when the door is shut.
If this seal is damaged or worn out over time, it can lead to cold air continually escaping, and thus the fan always running. The strip needs to be replaced and can be peeled/cleaned off the inside of the door and then a new strip put in place. These strips are commonly sold with self-adhesuve strips along the back side that are simply pressed in place.
