I said $90 for the blower motor, but coincidentally that's also what I
paid for the Goodman inducer motor. That's what us home-moaners pay
when we need parts. You could probably pick one up at the local supply
house for $35 and sell it to me for $190, +$150 labor, +$85 service
charge. And it's cold outside so I'd pay it.

I think he pulled your chain. My inducer lost its seal in the unit and so
it wouldn't fire. They found that the unit was fine and resealed it (new
gasket) under the warranty. Out of curiosity, I asked how much it have
cost (them, not me) if they had to replace it and the repairman replied
that the inducer was $350. Ridiculous, but I also checked on the Internet
and some are not cheap, but not $350.


Ummm...Goodman Inducer motor....about $20 without housing and wheel.
Now..Carrier..they have a couple that you have to replace the board with,
and just the boards over $70
