Feb 17, 2016 at 1:46 comment added Mazura Personally, I'm a fan of incorporating if this then that, if that then this into my answer but make-and-model need to be asked in a comment.
Feb 17, 2016 at 1:42 comment added Mazura I can empathize with you OP, having newly arrived, but please understand these moderators are only trying to inform you of how this site works and that neither of them are ever likely to offer their personal opinion (about how SE works).
Feb 16, 2016 at 19:28 comment added Niall C. Take a look at the help center, specifically the "be nice" policy. It's possible to disagree with someone without resorting to insults.
Feb 16, 2016 at 19:13 comment added Tester101 There's no need to be nasty, I'm simply trying to point out that you should be posting comments not answers, if you're looking to get more info from the OP. This is not a forum.
Feb 16, 2016 at 18:37 comment added Richard You gave an obvious answer for the fan door but missed the reason for the question. If a fan is drawing 2000 cfm of air in a system that was designed and installed correctly, yes the door gets sucked in but not with a great force but if it gets snapped back really hard and you will most likely hear a whisltling sound, then returns are blocked or non existant and a really common reason limits trip. Just not enough air over the heat exchanger, do you see or understand the difference instead of just stating the obvious.
Feb 14, 2016 at 15:53 comment added Richard It's with what force the door gets sucked back, if the return air is not blocked someplace the force to which the return door get sucked back is quite gentle. If it's blocked off then the door will get snapped back with a vengeance.
Feb 13, 2016 at 20:17 comment added Tester101 I'm just trying to point out the proper etiquette of the site. This is not a forum, and so follows a different flow. If you want to request information from the asker, you do so in comments. If you want to answer the specific question the asker asked, you post it as an answer. That's just the way the site works. It's nothing personal against you, I'm just trying to teach you how the site works.
Feb 13, 2016 at 16:08 comment added Richard I'm unsure what your issue is Tester101 since your answer reads right out of a book and not from service knowledge but no matter, when there's a dangerous situation someone is living in and the information isn't there to give the proper information, the questions are needed just like the ones everyone else asks. Finding out why there's a lack of airflow and a limit is triping is serious. To the poster, first find a different company to check it out. It seems Tester101 feels I'm stepping on his toes!
Feb 12, 2016 at 16:19 comment added Tester101 Also, the blower cabinet door should get "sucked" shut. The blower is creating a negative pressure zone inside the blower cabinet, which is why air is pushed through the returns in the first place. The air coming through the returns is restricted by a filter, so it's easier for the air to move through the unrestricted open door.
