      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, March 30 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Only place I could test it are on the brown capcitor and yellow transformer wires, both had 120v after fan stopped and temp came up to thermostat setting.

The brown capacitor wire is semi-irrelevant.

You need a reading from yellow and most likely black to the fan motor when it stops running.

If you have 220 volts the fan motor is bad.

If you have no volts and the heaters are still on,you have a fan relay problem.

Could one side of your breaker be going out like this one? Click pic:

If you still have power to the heaters,verified by amp draw and the fan stops running you have a Bad fan relay. Opening too soon.

If the heaters are off,the fan should run 90 seconds longer before turning off.

Ok went ahead and took a look at the voltage on heat coils after thermostat shuts heat off. Has 120v to it, looks like it is coming from the light blue wire on the circuit boardrelay look at pic DSC02168 on page one, it is a dark blue once it passes thru wire connector.

It feeds back to the right side of the sequencer that has all the devices attached to it pic DSC03165.

Either I am not writing correctly or you are not interpreting correctly.

1. Put your amp meter on a heater wire.

2. Turn the heater on.

3.Heater comes on followed by the fan.

4.Fan stops running.

5. Are the heaters still drawing amps when the fan quits?

6. If heaters are drawing amps,does the fan motor have 220 volts measured at yellow and black?

All this is normal.

With the thermostat satisfied you will always have half power (120 volts) to one side (incoming) from the pwer supply. The other leg is made through switches and relays on a call for heat.

This provides 220 volts to the fan and heater.

After the heat cycle, fan is off and thermostat shows no "heat on" the heat coils show no amp draw.

This a normal situation. Everything should be off when the thermostat temp is satisfied.

However,it has nothing to do with how you stated your original problem of the fan cycling off and the heat staying on.

I am going to take the opportunity to move on to other post and actually help someone.
