## What is wrong

THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER MOTOR SPEED CONTROL RESISTERS CAN, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OVERHEAT. IF THE BLOWER FAN STALLS RESULTING IN LOW AIR FLOW ACROSS THE RESISTER NETWORK AND HIGH AMPERAGE, THE AIR DUCT COULD REACH ELEVATED TEMPERATURES WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ASSOCIATED FIRE.
