Re: scedt26t7bd001265 and overheating

["John Hervey" <dherv10@xxxx>]

Bruce, 
What Dave read off it true but let me add a little. 
#1. Do the fans come on when the air conditioner is turned on.If so 
then proceed forward, or the system could be protecting it's self due 
to no freon.
#2. If not, then you may have a defective otterstat/temp switch.To 
test, unplug the temp switch and jumper with a wire or paperclip.
If you don't won't to do that then, in the heated mode when you think 
the fans should be running, just lightly tap on the pipe where the 
temp/switch is. It may just be stuck open.
#4. Between all the info you get, it all may lead back to the Fan 
Fail relay or the Fan relay or it could be just a wire unplugged from 
under a relay socket. If so. We can help.
