    Finding older parts for Trane gas furnace?
    I'm currently looking for an in-line fusible link for an older Trane forced-air gas furnace. I've tried quite a number of places so far with no luck. One place I contacted said they could get it but wanted over $90 with shipping (absurd).

    Does anyone have experience with a good supplier of older furnace parts with reasonable prices? (I've seen this type of link go for $15-20.) Or maybe some of you experienced repairers could suggest a substitute link as a replacement. I don't know the limit temperature but it appears to just be a high temp safety limit for the wiring compartment.

    (The part no. if it helps, is WG23X62 for a BLU108E936B1 Trane furnace (108000 BTUH).

    Thanks for your help.

    That furnace is about a 1980 model and parts are hard to come by. Can you post a picture? Can you read any numbers off the device?

    Hey, folks. After dozens of deadends on the internet and calling every local HVAC supply company within 30 miles, I finally found a very helpful gentleman with a couple of these flame rollout fuses in their warehouse. So much work but only $11, so a happy ending. :D

    Thanks for your thoughts and efforts.

    Have you determined why the original failed, and corrected the condition? If not, the new one may fail in short order. If it is the device I am thinking of, it reacts to flame roll-out.

    Yes, you are correct. The original problem was caused by a blocked air filter which has been corrected. Link installed and all temps within spec. Thanks.

    I obtained the fuses from Trane of King of Prussia. (610 – 962 – 1600). If they no longer carry them, you have two options. One is to find a fusible link from another manufacturer that opens at the same temperature. The one for this furnace (which is Fuse Assembly WG23X048) opens at 109°C (228°F). (The part number for the fuse in the kit was ASM – 218305779G11.) Your other option is for you to buy the spare fuse from me that I purchased at the time since I've had to replace my old furnace since then. Good luck.
