Furnace frustration

[JWallet]

So today for the first time this year I attempted to turn the furnace on in my 3010ds. Every time I turn it on to furnace only the AC unit for zone 1..the front unit runs simultaneously. When I first used the furnace for the first time this past May only the furnace ran until it hit the temperature setting on the thermostat and shut down. Nice....now unit 1, the front fan runs continuously. Is this normal because it makes no sense????

Make sure the thermostat fan is set to auto and not ON.

It is set to auto, initially, then as soon as it starts up the front AC fan starts running with the furnace. Tried it a dozen times and for some reason the thermostat reverts to low fan. Even when the furnace reaches set temperature and shuts off the front AC unit fan never stops running.

Duck, just now followed the advise of setting thermostat to auto and set the temperature to warm accordingly. Furnace runs and shuts down when reached temp set on thermostat but the front AC unit fan is still running. I'm calling FR tomorrow because they have been very helpful and knowledgeable with other issues. Calling the dealership is an exercise in futility.

I had the same issue the first months I had the motorhome. Luckily, I was able to ask on the forum and got a quick answer. Also another freaky thing is that when the coach gets above 100 degrees inside, the air conditioner will not start. You have to get the thermostat down below 100 by using what ever means are available. I used ice in a zip lock bag placed on the thermostat for a few minutes. Happy and safe camping!

This is a VERY common issue and the solution is almost always setting the thermostat to AUTO.
There are literally thousands of threads about this here.
