Heater fan intermittently won't start

4 years ago

My heater is set to come on every morning at 6:15 AM & run until 7:15 AM but every now & then it will come on at the correct time but only run for a few minutes & then it turns off & won’t start until I manually power off & back on in the app or at the thermostat. It will click (like its trying to come on & I see a glow in the nearest floor vent) but after a few seconds it clicks off & then tries again after 1 minute.

Heater type is Intertek (Intertherm) model: E4EB-010H

It says the fan is a 4-speed, 4 ton 2.9 FLA 1/3 HP but I’ve only heard 1 speed.

I have a Google NEST Smart thermostat that have been working fine since I installed it. Also the heater is not that old. We bought this modular home a year ago & it was only built in 2018. I’m not sure what is going on.

JIm if it were that simple I could hire 6 or 8 greenhorns with no training or experience and make a living without leaving the comfort of my living room. I can list at least a dozen reasons why this might happen but then you would need instructions for checking each. That would fall under the heading of trade school and since you have no intention persuring a cereer in hvac I doubt you are interested in spending the neccessary time. To try and stay comfortable until a contractor can look at it,set fan to on 24-7 and that might get you by. Don't worry,it will not harm unit nor use an unreasonable amount of electricity.
