A/C air handler fan failure
I had a new Thermal Zone furnace put in last winter. It’s been working fine since. The AC was also working fine through the summer so far until a couple of days ago. The compressor fan tried to run, but the blower fan in the basement doesn’t.
I turned it off over night, and tried to start it up yesterday morning. The blower fan kicked on for a minute, and I had cool air from the vents. But then it turned off again and hasn’t started again since.
The air filter was wet with condensation, so I took that out as a trial. That didn’t help. I put new batteries in the thermostat, and that didn’t change anything. There are no blown fuses that I can see. It’s a brand new unit, so I wouldn’t expect a bad capacitor or worn out ball bearings.
Any thoughts?

My first thought is that it's under warranty. Call for warranty service.
Posting a model number of the air handler would be helpful.

I’ve also just noticed that when I first try to turn it on, there are red light numbers that flash on the bottom of the furnace/blower fan control panel in this sequence... 262626585920, and then a final constant 0.
