Carrier 38GS Control Board
The control board is constructed to direct everything including the gas valve, the igniter, most sensors as well as the blower all at once. Your air handler will be unable to run at all without the control board in its proper place and configured for your unit. Any control board you choose must have a matching part number consistent with both the make and model of HVAC system. It is imperative that you select wisely when you choose a control board because of the many variances of heating and cooling systems.
Easy warnings of an unhealthy Carrier control board
- The system board has to be reset quite a lot for everything to run again
- System has some sort of error code instantly appearing somewhere on the circuit board
- The whole unit is unwilling to initialize correctly
