Next time you diagnose a bad board during heating season take a closer look at the solder joints for the molex plugs. You'll usually find the 1s for either the 9 (or 12) pin molex plug or the plug for the inducer will have cracks on the solder joint causing the voltage to either fall down or it can intermittently work and send voltage then suddenly stop working. Also stop poking into the back of the plugs, that's also part of why they fail. They made so cheap now just poking into it can crack those weak joints
@dodgedak03 has nothing to do with man handling it. It's the fact that it's in the blower compartment where temperatures constantly go from cold to hot, cold to hot, cold to hot. Metal expands and contracts with temperatures so eventually it flexes and cracks
@@MiguelRdgz916 I see your point ,but mine isn't located in the blower compartment. I have a packaged unit in which all the electronics have its own compartment. Being 25 years old doesn't help.
I know everyone says this, but I wish you were in the Chicago area. Can't find anyone dependable. Too much turnover. The techs never stay with one company for long.
Good video! There isn’t a dirt pocket on that water heater though. It’s code in Canada, must be elsewhere? I just subscribed btw. Thanks and keep up the vids. Cheers
Who is installing these with a flex line on the inside of a furnace. Too many clowns out there that cant use a tape measurer to see what size black pipe you need. With all the corrosion around the inducer points to no flue liner in chimney. Another slop job and people think they got a good deal.
I’m convinced that the vibration from the mounting location cause these boards to fail faster than not…resonates welds and connections.
Nice Job!!! I have no doubt those folks were happy to have some heat!
Oh yes happy indeed!
That furnace needs a good cleaning. I never neglect the cleaning step. Pride in workmanship
My Goodman furnace doesn’t show any status light. No blinking. Nothing. What could it be?

That's a good point . I'll be sure to look closer at the solder joints, and thanks for the heads up.
My board had 4 of the molex Solder joints cracked. Someone man handled it.

Agree!
I just purchased a used board on eBay for $40. And it works great
Wow! My furnace doesn't even look that bad and I'm in a constant state of worry.
I've seen a lot worse
@@a.e.c.heatingcoolingllc6815 Good to hear! I can't believe the debris, dirt and cobwebs I see in some of these videos.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those boards with the 9pin white rodgers intel-igni
Always give issues with the mo connector
@@elgum9868 use air to clean
I have but what I have also caught is that metal connectors are too lose with wear
Ohh, you replace a new control board..where to buy a new board?
I never saw you verify the roll outs are good. If the limits are tripped tou wont get 24v to the gas valve, if one is bad, same thing.
You never checked any of the safety’s it will do the exact same thing if that safety is tripped on the blower housing.
