Honeywell L4064Y1474 fan limit

I'm trying to find a replacement for this part. Blower comes on but doesn't turn off after call for heat is done.

+Most furnaces old enough to use a mechanical fan/limit switch to control the fan have cracked heat exchangers and need to be replaced. Most are 30+ years old.

Assuming your furnace is still safe, if you can't find a cross referenced replacement, should be okay with a newer version provided it is the same length and what you have doesn't have a small heater in it to reduce delay in having the fan turn on.. (length part protruding into the furnace)

Try increasing the fan off temperature on the dial a bit.

Did you try increasing the fan off temperature setting?

The Honeywell L4064W1080/U and L4064B2228 are also direct 5" replacements.

L-4064 current replacement.

Not sure if this part will work. If so how do I hook up the two yellow wires in the middle and do I need to break the middle connector. I tried adjusting the switch but it just doesn't move smooth enough to turn off.

Currently getting quotes to replace the furnace since people say this one is dangerous.

Maybe I'm not adjusting it correctly?
The picture above shows that I moved the settings up about 5 degrees higher.

You must hold the wheel from turning.... then slide the tabs.

"Not sure if this part will work. If so how do I hook up the two yellow wires in the middle and do I need to break the middle connector."

You have a down flow furnace. The yellow wires energize the timed on feature of your existing fan control. User 10 had provided a warning regarding this. I don't think the new limit control has that feature. Basically, the heat will rise and never turn on the fan so the timed on circuit is needed. Can't really tell from the picture but it looks like the jumper was removed on the original.
