Furnace Blower Issue
Mid-Atlantic Region
Stick Built Split Level Home
Furnace:
Comfortmaker/SnyderGeneral Corporation
Model no. - GUA100A016-1N
Serial No. - 0000246525-N19-0131
MFG Date: 05-86
Fuel: Natural Gas
Thermostat: Payne
PROBLEM:
The Furnace blower does not always cycle normally. From the best I can tell, once the selected temperature is reached (70 degrees), the furnace blower continues to run. The burners do not appear to be lit although I have not actually checked yet so I am essentially assuming this because the temperature of the forced air is cold.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your fan limit is failing.
Rust can build up on the burners of these old furnaces and cause a dangerous condition. When was the last time this furnace was cleaned and inspected?

Furnace man was here, Fan limit switch is functioning normal. Unit is significantly aged and inefficeint. Cleaned the burners and flame detector. House is warming up good so far. Planning to purchase a new efficient HVAC model in the near future.
