Fan does not run in Auto or Manual Mode

I restarted it and the fan icon in Display rotates but the fan does not run and no airflow in any vents that I can detect. Software up to date. Restart (both thru Settings & manually) doesn't help. Troubleshooting doesn't show any problem either.

Please post the picture you took of the old thermostat base plate before you removed it.  And, please post the picture of the nest backplate after you installed it and attached the wires.

Ken, Thank you! The Thermostat was installed by a professional 3 years ago and has been working well since then except for the current problem. I had received an alert from Google Monitoring in early September and their contractor checked our system and detect any problem. I changed the filter then. So, I assume the wiring is not a problem. I did Troubleshooting thru the Nest Settings and it did not find any issues either! Thank you for your suggestion though.

Try this, turn the system mode to OFF. Then, select the FAN and start it for 1 hour.  Does the blower start?

Ken, Thanks again. I didn't see any System setting on the Nest Settings nor the Nest App Settings menus. The Model display is 3.6 & Backplate Display is 5.4. Ray

RayDee,

I re-read your posts. This looks like you have a problem with your blower itself.  Do you have access to the air handler of your HVAC system?

Ken, I think you are right! It is either the Condenser or the fan itself. Will check it. Thank you!! Ray
