Is the AC blower running in AC mode?
When running in AC Mode, the outdoor fan and compressor kick off just fine. The blower fan seems to kick off as well, though it’s not putting out very much air. I can feel cool air blowing out of the vent but it’s a small trickle, and it’s not enough to keep the house very cool.
Why is my AC blower not turning black?
Typically Red=Low, Blu=Med, Blk=High. The black lead is usually the one needed for a/c operation. Sometimes the motors wear out by having the lubricant in the bearings go dry. In this case the blower wheel will not turn effortlessly and smoothly by hand when the unit is off.
Why is my car AC not blowing or car fan not working?
It sounds like your blower motor or fan is damaged. The noise you heard was probably the fan blades hitting the side of your ventilation ducts and it suddenly stopped when either the motor failed or the fan finally got stuck. Replacing the blower motor and possibly fan should get you back to having AC!
Why is my HVAC blower running very slowly?
Typically Red=Low, Blu=Med, Blk=High. The black lead is usually the one needed for a/c operation. Sometimes the motors wear out by having the lubricant in the bearings go dry. In this case the blower wheel will not turn effortlessly and smoothly by hand when the unit is off. If the bearings are dry, then you need a new blower motor.
Why is my AC fan not blowing air?
Blower fans push air through the ducts of your AC system. If the fans are covered in dust and dirt, the blades are likely not rotating at optimum speed, which will hamper airflow. A failing blower motor will not do its part to push air through the ducts and in your space.

What to do if your car AC is not blowing?
Depending on what kind of car you have, it should be a pretty simple fix. The problem sounds like it is with your blower motor, not your AC system. Hopefully, the blower motor simply blew a fuse. Find your fuse panel and check the fuse for the “blower motor” or “vent fan” or something like that.
Why does my HVAC fan not blow in Heat Mode?
In other words the fan will not blow in heat mode if switched to “fan auto”. Both fan on and fan auto modes work when cooling. See image below, any ideas? I also forgot that I had the blower replaced 1 year back and am now wondering if the wiring of that could be the culprit. See this link for information on the original and new blowers.
How does a thermostat turn on a blower fan?
If the W terminal is energized, it turns on the heat and the fan at the furnace. If the Y terminal is energized, it turns on the a/c outside unit, but not the blower fan. Typical thermostats will energize the G terminal when in cool mode, or when the fan is turned to manual “always on” mode.
When does the HVAC blower fan come on?
Interestingly, we discovered fan comes on when system is on “Heat” and fan is on “auto”. Things I’ve checked and tried: Tested motor by testing common wire to each of the speed wires (High, Med, Low), all showed about 7-10 ohms
Why is my HVAC blower not turning on?
So when calling for cooling, the thermostat usually energizes both Y for cooling, and G to turn on the blower. Since you say the blower doesn’t come on for cool calls, or when the fan switch is moved to the ON position. That points to a problem with the “fan circuit”.
