      If there is no fan RPM detected, check if the fan is turning or disconnected. Also, check the fuse. Use a meter to verify that 120V is present on the external connection to the board. If 10V is not coming from the fan, it is not receiving 120V. Check the 10V signal on the web app.

    What to do if my IBC Air Handlers thermostat shows a fault?
    • D
      Debbie ThomasAug 22, 2025
      If your thermostat is showing a fault, it could be due to simultaneous heating and cooling calls. Ensure that the heating and cooling leads from the Nest thermostat are not crossed. Also, there is a known issue with some thermostat models over 3 years old where the backing plate allows a short, signaling an unintended call for cooling.
