I've got a new Heil 1-stage upflow furnace (installed last Apr.) in my little brick bungalow in the midwest.
The heat cycle is something like:
T-stat calls for heat LIttle fan sucks fumes out. Heat element gets power. Gas valve opens, burners fire Blower kicks in Gas valve closes Blower kicks out
Occasionally and only intermittently, after the heat cycle has been complete for some time, the blower will run for about 10 seconds and then shut down.
I can't find anything that explains this in the Sequence of Ops documentation.
Any clue?
TIA, Puddin'

The furnace fan is designed to kick in when the heat exchanger reaches a certain temperature. What is happening in your case is the fan is not running long enough to cool the heat exchanger after the heat cycle. The residual heat in th exchanger tells your fan to kick back in to cool it down for those 10 or so seconds. You have to set the fan to run longer after the heat cycle and this will prevent the fan from kicking back in. There is an adjustment in the furnace.
Maybe because changing how long the blower stays on after the burner shuts off is a setting, not a warranty issue? And that he fixed it be changing an obvious jumper setting instead of paying for a service call.
You've heard it before: "Inquiring Minds Wanna Know!"
They prolly woulda come out under the warranty.
Idea was to analyze heat op. cycle, figger what it was doing, make any adjustments my po' self. Woulda worked if they hadn't scattered the info on settings across several manuals.
So I had to ask a Q here, I got an answer, found the relevant info, and fixed it. Acceptable result.
If there's a serious malfunction, I'll call service under warranty. Otherwise I'll fix it myself, which is what'll happen when it's out of warranty.
