Furnace Problems

[mikewh]

I have a problem I recently bought a mobile home and it has a InterTherm Furnace in it and when and when the air and the heat is cut off at the thermastat the furnace gets hot and you have to kick the breaker to make it quit could someone help me thanks in advance.

there is no way we can trouble shoot the problem sight unseen and do so in a safe and effective manner. Call a professional contractor and depending on how long you have owned the mobile home, I would start with the person or company I purchased it from to see what if any warranty is in place. Otherwise, ask neighbors, friends, family, or co-workers for a recommendation. All the best, John.

Leave the breaker off, and call a contractor to look at it before you burn down your trailer and possible kill someone?

Definitely.

Sounds like the fan/limit switch stuck in the on position, if it is just the fan that keeps running. Need a tech to check it out and change if defective.

As others have said, call a contractor.

Your fire insurance probaly won't cover you(if you have a fire from it) if they find out you were using the furnace knowing it wasn't working safely.

Shut it off and have it checked by a pro! Continued use in this condition is not only unsafe, but could turn a simple repair into having to replace the whole unit.
