Hello John , Thanks for letting us know we haven't ever had anyone say anything regarding this so, I will check it out. I don't know if this was your situation but if any doors were left open more than 5 min.(I am thinking the sliding door) then the system shuts down the Air Conditioning but the furnace will still blows air..
