My inducer motor of Trane XV90 furnace is not working and needs a
replacement or repair. I am living in Bellevue WA area.


Could somebody recommend how to fix it (dealer or we can do it
ourselves)? How much would it cost?


Very much appreciated.


How to fix:
Take old one off.
Put new one on.

Exactly, it's just a small motor hooked up with 2 wires, held in with
bolts.
How do you know it's bad? I'm assuming you put a meter to it and got
voltage but the motor was not working,right?


I got a service man come in and verified that the motor is dead and
needs replacement, but he quoted for $965! I searched on the web and
the parts is only $350, but the service man from that company won't
install that for me if I purchased the parts myself.

So should I just go ahead and buy the one and install myself? From
what you said is very simple.
