Carrier 38BK Ignition Control Board
The ignition control board is a safety device that regulates the natural gas, the igniter and some more sensing equipment. The ignition control board was always an important safety feature that is usually a piece of the main circuit board instead of having two separate boards.
Important clues of a faulty ignition board
- Any other potential problem attached to the system is inspected and turns out to be acceptable
- The main ignition cycle fails to start at all
- The on-signal from the home thermostat does not get to the main board
