E-fan still causing brick to run hot but really only with AC now 200

Dawg,

Still got that problem... I would trash that cheap ass push-in thermostat and go for the in-line version. An adjustable in-line thermo set to run at a lower temp should slove your drama. The e-fan can not be the sole issue. Do you have a condensor fan as well? Maybe, an extra (smaller) e-fan set up on the condensor would help.

What is the temperature rating of your standard thermostat? This may sound stupid, but is it installed correctly?

Are you sure the electric fan is set up correctly -in the proper direction?

What about the temp. compensation board? Have you tried the same test after jumping the terminals?

Some thoughts to consider.

Peace!!!, Jon
