    The boards are not being refurbished at this time and I doupt if they would be in the future. The board is the cheap part the motor is where the money is. Usually a circuit board and motor does not go out at the same time. I also think the price you paid is a bit high.

    I have been telling everyone to junk the motor when it coes bad and just run a regular 3 speed motor. The energy savings for variable speed is not much and if you have to have variable speed there are items available

    The Trane board in the back of the motor saw it in the internet and locally bettween 390 to 430 and the motor itself runs
    330 to 390.
    And if I put a 3 speed motor wich control board do you recommend to manage the air handler and prices . Thanks

    The board part number I do not have but it will be the same one that is used on the non variable speed unit that is available from Trane. Every thing is the same on these units except the variable speed function. That way you will not have to but the expensive parts the next time. NOTE There will be a next time since those variable speed drives are trouble prone.

    I have seen the end bell electronics and the motors available on Ebay at a real cheap price many times. You might have to check every few days. This is only if you really want to keep your variable speed set up.

    Just a example

    Trane Variable speed blower motor with ECM mogule - eBay (item 230227257219 end time Mar-05-08 19:14:14 PST)

    I am not saying this is the board you need. That will have to be looked up. But this is another example for a change over board.
