I have a model RGUD-135C Rheem furnace. I need to replace the fan/limit switch. The parts call for a Honeywell L4064T1103. I can't seem to find it anywheres. All I can find is a replacement Honeywell L4064B2236. Is this correct? If this is correct I'm not sure I quite understand the wiring configuration. I have included a wiring diagram from the furnace manual

you will find the replacement for your Honeywell L4064Y and its installation instructions at

HONEYWELL L4064B, L4064R UNIVERSAL COMBINATION FAN & LIMIT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL [PDF] (2017)

This L4064B, L4064R limit controller is a universal replacement for older furnace fan limit controllers. Here is the difference between the L4064B and L4064R, excerpting from the document above:

These combination warm air fan and limit controllers are suitable for various types of forced air heating systems. The controllers have 2 switches; one which opens the limit circuit if the plenum temperature exceeds the preset safety limit; it resets automatically. The other switch turns the fan on and off.

The fan is turned on and off according to plenum temperature.

The L4064R has a special high temperature range suitable for gravity heating systems.

All models may be used as limit controllers by wiring only the limit side. Limit contacts are suitable for both line voltage and low voltage. For low voltage applications, the brass jumper must be removed.
...
Follow furnace or burner manufacturer’s instructions, if available.

Maximum element temperature is:

L4064B—350 ºF (177 ºC).

L4064R—250 ºF (121 ºC) above limit setting.

Maximum switch temperature is: L4064B,R—190 ºF (88 ºC).

On 2019-01-20 by (mod) - where to start if the furnace runs but fan doesn't come on

Joe

The fan comes on after the plenum is warmed. Not before - on a heating application.

Otherwise the unit would blow cold air on occupants.

Where to start: Watch the fan limit control to see if it's rotating to the FAN ON position.

On 2019-01-19 by Joe T.

I installed a new ICM 281 for a Carrier Day and Night FAU. When I turn on the power, the blower fan started running for 1-2 minutes, the hot surface igniter light up red hot, the burners ignited while the blower kept running. Everything seemed to work fine.

A few days later, the FAU stopped working.

Shouldn't the surface igniter becomes red hot first, then the burners light and run for a few minutes, before the blower starts running to push the hot air up into the unit?

What should I test to see why the FAU stopped working?

Thanks. J.

From the details that you given, John, it does sound like switch replacement is completely appropriate.

If you don't already have a copy of the hookup instructions will probably be enclosed with a new Switch.

Or if you like, the wiring instructions for the Honeywell l4064 are also given as a downloadable PDF file as well as described in the article above. The absence of a white button simply means that there is no manual fan on off switch

Went and checked the two fan wires with a meter & they were definitely reversed. Ordered a new Limit Control Switch because of the reversed wiring as well as it looks like the Switch might have gotten water on it from an over flowing AC pan backup.

The fan would not shut off after the unit ran, but you could tap on the Switch & the fan would stop. Acted like the spring was not bring the dial all the way to the fan stop point. Thanks for your input. John

I came home today to find my furnace fan running and my "dump" zone blowing for no reason. My system is circa 1970 dual zone heat and AC. I have to manually change between heat and AC operation. Currently it's set for AC.

Neither of the two thermostats were driving the system on. I took off the cover and checked out the Combination Temperature Controller (CTC).

I tapped on the furnace near the CTC and the damper closed for the dump zone and the fan turned off.

I think I need a replacement CTC but I can't identify what would be compatible. I'd appreciate any feedback on the issue or what to order for a replacement CTC. Please see attached pictures for reference. Thanks for the help in advance! Larry C.

Yes you would either


1. simply put a small twist on connector cap on each of those individual low-voltage wire ends and tape them aside,
or
2. follow the wires back to their point of origin and remove them entirely. I'd do option 1. as it's simpler and fine. You could label them as "used on old Honeywell control" if you like.

You'd just connect the 120VAC wires as we've discussed.

This OPINION comes from reading about the control and what those low voltage wires were doing - as best I can see they were running a heater element in the control that in turn caused the fan to turn on "early" regardless of the actual plenum temperature. In fact Honeywell warned that if you installed that older -T control as a substitute for other models there was a risk that it would, at the start of a heat-on cycle, blow cool air on occupants when there was a call for heat.

Send me photos of your control and the wires if you can;

Also if you have a wiring diagram for your furnace and its manual that'd be interesting to review.

You can give Honeywell a call to confirm what we've discussed.

Thank you again for your prompt reply. I have a question concerning your answer. This may sound dumb, but I will go ahead and ask. When you say, " Other Honeywell L4064x control models could still work to control your furnace, by simply stubbing off the TT wires at the control.", does "stubbing off" simply mean that I would cut the wires and cap them with a wire nut (or other means) to prevent any connectivity to the fan and gas valve via the low voltage wires? In other words, all I need to do is only connect the 120V wires to the combination switch and disconnect and terminate the low voltage wires appropriately?

The original Honeywell L4064T 1541 control was designed to simply turn the fan on 90 seconds after a call for heat, regardless of the actual plenum temperature.

The L4064T,W,and Y models use a bi-metallic spring heater inside the fan switch to "make" (close) the switch contacts independent of the bimetallic temperature sensor probe that inserts into the heating air plenum itself.

These L4064 models needed the TT (TT = thermostat) circuit & wires to do that - using the low voltage circuit to operate the bimetal heater inside the controller switch.

From p. 10 of HONEYWELL L4064A-F, J,R,T,W,Y FAN LIMIT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION [PDF] (1985) [live link to this is given in the article above] we quote this explanation:
----

Operation of the L4064 Fan Limit Control - how it works:

L4064A-F,J,R -- as the plenum temperature rises, the coiled, bimetal sensing element of the control warps and mechanically makes the fan contacts (at the FAN ON temperature setting). During normal operation, the call for heat ends before the LIMIT setting is reached and the fan contacts break as the plenum temperature falls and the FAN OFF setting is reached.

If the call for heat continues until the temperature in the plenum rises to the LIMIT setting, the bimetal element will mechanically break the limit contacts and de-energize the heating control circuit.

L4064T,W,Y -- The operation of the L4064T,W,Y are the same [as the L4064A-F,J,R that I quoted above] except that the controller uses a bimetal heater in the fan switch to make the switch contacts independent of the bimetal sensing element. This heater acts to anticipate the rise in plenum termperature and turns on th fan 20 to 90 seconds* after the thermostat calls for heat. Actual on-time will vary, depending on the voltage applied to the bimetal heater and on the temperature surrounding the fan switch.

* The fan on timing can vary depending on applied voltage and switch ambient.

----

Other Honeywell L4064x control models could still work to control your furnace, by simply stubbing off the TT wires at the control. That means you'll give up the heat anticipation feature provided by the L4064T but of course you could insert your own "anticipation" by simply dropping the FAN ON temperature a bit. (To be extremely cautious about safety you should also ask your furnace manufacturer if they agree.)

You will find other low-voltage thermostat wires from the same thermostat terminals going to a gas or oil burner to actually turn on the burner.

With other L4064x control models the temperature generated by the burner then activates the limit switch.

The 1981 instructions for the L4064T (provided as a live link in the article above) point out that the L4064T might have been used to replace an L4064A or L4064B. I read that to mean that you could also substitute in the reverse direction, installing an L4064A or L4064B (or equivalent) for an old L4064T. Here is an excerpt from that document, p. 8:

Important: To [sic] L4064T uses a bimetal heater to turn on th fan 90 seconds after a call for heat. When the call for heat ends, the fan will continue to run until the fan-off temperature is reached. If the L4064T is used to replace an L4064A or B, the blower fan may circulate cold air until the plenum heats up. No adjustment of the fan-on time is possible.

On 2017-11-23 by (mod) - The Honeywell L4064B222 is a "universal replacement" for older fan limit controllers

Tom,

The Honeywell L4064B222 is a "universal replacement" for your older L4064W1080, as you were told.

The controller includes three wiring terminal options so that the controller can be easily connected in a variety of situation.

The controller also includes female wire receptacles at the upper sides used to power an auxiliary device like a humidifier.

Most-likely for your application you only want to connect two wires, the two line voltage wires that operate the blower fan as shown in Honeywell's wiring diagram and instructions.

I would leave the two other wires disconnected.

At the REFERENCES section to this article below we include a link to the older installation manual for this control. I will update the article to be sure that both the older and the most-recent wiring instructions are given as PDF files at the end of the article text above.

On 2017-01-08 by (mod) - skip the low voltage wires that operated the heater in the L4064-T

Joe, and Miguel,

You can skip the extra two wires but will probably find that one of the following furnace or heating system features is then not working:

1. a pre-heater installed in the furnace may have been installed to cause the blower fan to start sooner - speeding the heat delivery before the furnace air is fully warmed

2. some old Honeywell (L4064-type) switches use the wires for a separate humidifier or dehumidifier.

Be sure that the sensor for your replacement fan limit switch is the proper size, as a wrong length could make the system work improperly or might be unsafe. For example a sensor that touches the supply plenum cabinet won't function properly.

How do I remove the Jumper to hook up a thermostat on the Honeywell combination furnace control on a L4064B

On 2016-01-05 by Joe

I have an old fan/limit switch from Honeywell that has an additional 2 wires (6 total). The 2 wires are yellow and the schematic shows one going into the fan limit switch in the bottom/center, goes through a heating resistor/fan assist, and exits.

It is in parallel with the safety and gas valve circuit. It is diagramed as a resistor but is called my the 2 names, heating resistor & fan assist.

The replacement fan limit switch does not have these extra 2 connections and is similar to yours on this page. Are these 2 connections necessary? Can I just short them or bypass them? Cannot find any info on this.

Please tell me where to connect the black wire coming from my Honeywell Fan Limiter switch, model L4064. It goes to the 24 volt relay, but I do not know which terminal to connect it to. Does it go to the armateur or to the top or bottom terminal of the single pole double throw relay. or does it go some place else?

Reply:

Weeks I don't quite understand the options in your question, but indeed the typical fan limit switch wiring is described and illustrated with schematics in the article above as well as in the installation pamphlet for the fan limit switch and usually also right inside the limit switch cover itself.

I'm always nervous about giving very specific wiring instructions like "where do I connect the black wire" because being offsite and just reading someone's message I have no confidence that I know for sure how the "black wire" is connected at its other end.

Ralph

by convention we use black for line and white for load.

To check, and provided you know how to use a DMM or VOM safely, one could check for voltage on either wire. The one containig voltage is the "Line" wire.

Start with a simple neon tester for voltage as discussed at

Anon with apology for sounding a bit like a smart alec, I suggest that you want a trained heating service tech to inspect and repair your dad's furnace. We don't yet have a diagnosis of what's wrong, so I can't assume that the fan limit switch you want to replace is even the culprit.

If the burner runs and the blower fan operates, I don't start by suspecting the fan limit switch. More likely I'd expect disconnected, crushed, or collapsed air ducts to explain why no air is being delivered.

Question: installing a coal stove beside my "propain" furnace

(Nov 16, 2014) Al said:

I'm installing a coal stove beside my "propain" furnace with an enclosed hood over it & ducting it into my cold air return.

I want to install a fan limit switch over the coal stove & wire it in parallel with my furnace fan limit switch so that the new limit switch will run the furnace blower to suck in the warm coal stove air thru the cold air return to circulate it thru the furnace air filter & throughout the house.

I want the set-up to enable either limit switch to control the furnace blower when they sense enough warm air & the demand for heat at the thermostat.

This should be a simple matter of wiring to the power supply & connecting jumper wires from the furnace switch limit side terminals to the coal stove switch limit side terminals.... correct? If not, please advise the correct way to wire the coal stove limit switch to work as expected.

I read my question after I posted it and realized that I hadn't mentioned about connecting a jumper wire between the fan side terminals too. Below is how my question should have read:

This should be a simple matter of wiring to the power supply & connecting jumper wires from the furnace switch limit side & fan side terminals to the coal stove switch limit side & fan side terminals.... correct?

Watch out: When you use a heating control in any application not intended by the manufacturer your system could be unsafe risking a building fire or death. So if I were doing what you suggest I'd start by giving Honeywell technical support a call to ask if they agree with the approach.
