Had you done some kind of work on the furnace and if so was the unit working before you worked on it.

If so let me know what you did and I will try to help you.

Unfortunately, professional service may be unavoidable unless you are satisfied to keep feeding parts to the machine. Sometimes, the sooner you bite the bullet, the fewer the teeth you break.

I had a similar problem with a couple of Goodman condensing units. The coil on the contacter shorted and blew the mini fuse.

Not sure if romdog realizes we are HVAC/R professionals lol.

It's way too difficult to pin down a price and to honest it would be unfair to both yourself and your service company. I do not like to give out numbers in a forum like this unless it is obvious someone is getting ripped off. In fact, other similar forums do not allow it at all. Bottom line is that we do not know for certain that this is your problem since you are not willing to do what was suggested. It could be something else all together.
