Hi,

I've replaced the circuit board to my furnace but I don't know where to attach the power wires--one black and one white--to the circuit board.

Any ideas?

Below are several links to the circuit board. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this stuff, fyi.

Welcome to the forums.

In the picture below.... the black circle is LINE H or hot and the white circle is LINE N or neutral.

 

Thanks Pete. I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes. : )

 

Hey Pete,

So I connected the white wire to your suggested terminal; however, I also noticed that I already have a black wire connected to the "LINE-H" terminal. . .but I still have one black wire that is not connected to anything. From the looks of it, the unconnected black wire runs towards what I believe to be the blower motor.

Any idea what terminal this last black wire might connect to?

Here's a picture with white arrows pointing towards the black wire in question.
Thanks : )

Follow that unconnected black wire. Can't guess where it goes to.
It may go to the blower door safety switch.

Why do I see a capacitor with no wires on it ?
Is there a replacement cap somewhere for it ?

 

Hey Pete.

So I know the unconnected black wire doesn't go the safety switch b/c there's already another black wire connected to the safety switch:

There's another black wire (and white wire) that connects to this part of the furnace:

And then the unconnected wire goes w/ a bunch of other wires to what I believe is the blower (but I can't trace it beyond this image here):

Lastly, there is one orange wire--have no clue where its terminal is--but it goes to the same destination that the unconnected black wire does (to the blower I think). Here's an image:

Maybe this orange wire is related to the capacitor?

 

Check and make sure the blower works with the A/C and heat modes. It looks like you have a wire on COOL H and HEAT H. That would mean the black and orange wires get placed on the PARK terminals which is just a place to put un-needed fan speed wires.

 

Pete. . .thanks immensely for your help. Furnace seems to be working. I couldn't have done it without you--this means a lot! Thanks! !

Update: So now I can get the furnace to turn on (which is pretty exciting), thermostat is set to 76* degrees and current temperature is 72*. . .but now the furnace turns off after about 10-20 seconds of running.

The first time I had it on it ran for about 1 minute, although I didn't notice air coming from the vents (vents are open, pipes leading from furnace to vents are warm/hot). But the furnace seems to be mimicking the same symptoms it was before the circuit board went out. = /

Any ideas Pete?

 

And just FYI, I cleaned the flame sensor a while ago when the furnace was exhibiting similar symptoms and that did not help. The only way I can get the furnace to turn back on is by turning of the safety switch and then pressing it again--and then the furnace will turn on for 10 secs or so, and then turn back off.

 

What is the red diagnostic LED doing ?

 

Did you wire the capacitor

 

No.... I mentioned it before and you got me thinking about it. In the following picture is your blower capacitor. It is unconnected. When I look thru your pictures I see a brown wire hanging and not connected. That should go to one of the cap terminals. Look for a brown wire with a white stripe... that should go to the other terminal. There is no polarity on the cap.
