Fan constantly runs

I am a new owner of a 2000 forest river Trailor. The furnace fan constantly runs. I have thermostat set to auto. Any ideas what could be wrong?

New propane and new valves. Hear works great and when gets to temp fan continues to blow

Not sure of the problem, but the fan WILL run for about 10 minutes after you do reach temp set, to get all the heat out of it.

Its been running all day. I can only shut it off by disconnecting from power or turning battery switch off. Once I reconnect, it turns back on. I have turned to off and still no luck.


Thanks for responding Mark

You have a problem with the control board then.
Google your exact model and replace the control board.

New unit=Dealer's problem. Take off auto use as necessary and take back to dealer for repair. Problem Solved

I put a switch on mine to make it run all the time with the burner off just to circulate the air/heat from our EdenPure electric heater in the winter.
