    WOOPS wrong one. I thought I found a cheaper one. Just post brand and exact model of furnace. Also the pert numbers for the one you took off. I will search for a new cheaper one if possible,

    Thanks hvac1000,

    Unfortunately, I already paid $170 at another place online ($152 + $18 shipping). I should have looked a little harder I guess to save another $20. I checked eBay and somehow missed that one... oh well.

    I am assuming the new motor unit will come with a new paperish gasket. Also, the connection to the exhaust vent had some kind of red sealant around it. Will I have to go buy some of that? What is it called and where do I get a small quantity?

    Thanks.

    It is a high temperature silicone that most service people use. You can also use it in place of the paper gasket.

    True but after you chew it for awhile it looses that silicone flavor. I like the white color/flavor the best. The red has a cinnamon after taste.

    The motor finally came yesterday and I successfully installed it tonight. Everything seems to be working. I bought a tube of the high temp sealant stuff at Lowe's for $15! What a rip off! I only used about 2 squeezes to seal the fan exhaust to the exhaust ducting. Oh well. Probably could have found it for cheaper elsewhere, but I was in a hurry.

    So grand total: $270 in parts to replace the control board and the induction motor. I hope it was worth it. I figure it probably would have been at least $500 parts and labor if I had called a repairman. I wouldn't have been without heat for almost a month, though.

    Although my electricity bill wasn't as bad as I thought it would be with the 2 space heaters going. With natural gas prices going up, maybe electric heating would be competitive (although I hear people say that NG is the best option if it is available). Plus we were supplementing the space heaters with our gas fireplace so I'm still going to have a gas bill.

    Thanks for everyone's help
