Bryant furnace/AC control board
Yesterday lightning made a mess of my roofing. It also damaged the
control board of my Bryant 383KAV. The original board is a CES50110057. I had to replace several components seven years ago. Without a schematic it was a hassle. Is a schematic available? Maybe it's time for a new board. I've found two places with replacements for the original. The cheaper is $150 with shipping. A third place has a CIB0110057 for $200 with shipping. It is a newer design with diagnostic LEDs. That could be worthwhile but wouldn't help much if I didn't have documentation to interpret the lights. Which board should I get? Should I troubleshoot the one I have? Are there good places to shop for boards online? |

There's not much on those boards though, you could probably troubleshoot it without too much difficulty. |

Home insurance covers lightning strikes. You dont know the extent of
total damage yet, call your broker. My last one took out 20000 in electronics. |

The system was off at the time of the strike, and the chimney is on the opposite side of the house from the air conditioner and furnace, so I hope the motors weren't wrecked. I could jumper the inside blower but wouldn't know how to activiate the outdoor unit without the board. The board isn't scorched even slightly. The 3-amp fuse was blown. Rather than risk my last 3-amp, I tried a 5, and the 25-volt transformer's noise indicated overloading. One diode on the board is broken, but that wouldn't be the only problem. |
