Our Trane Heatpump HVAC system had the logic controller board crap out last year- an obsolete part due to the fact that this thing is 22+ years old (no kidding)... but we'd found a NOS replacement.
Last week with a 109+ summer heat it started miscycling- shutting off the fan before the temp set was reached, and leaving the compressor running, so I'd have to kill the unit manually at the thermostat, let it sit, and restart it. Which ran just long enough to take the edge off the heat, but not lower than 82 degrees. Fortunately we're well-insulated.
Yep, the other controller board got hot in a few areas...the crew came out and the owner checked everything out- showed me the pic of the board with 3 hotspots, gave me a part number to order- if I could find one. Also made sure we had all our registers wide open and none closed (uhh, yeah...) and the rooms not shut up. That sucker has been working wonderfully since the duo left, but he did say "start saving your $$$, as these Tranes generally last 15 years, and you've got over 7 extra".
I DID find a replacement board for the toasty one which will be in here two days. As long as we don't stress the fan motor with closed/dampened vents- there were THREE(!!) and keep the filter changed every month (which I do), I think we'll be fine after it's installed. For now.

A Luger is very much a puzzle. The parts interlock to hold one another in place. There is a specific order to the reassembly.I'm sitting here thinking "That would be a cool puzzle to solve!"
Added to the complexity is the fact that everything is intricately machined. I can see why the Luger was so expensive to produce.
Even with CNC, to make one today and not give in to the temptation of MIM, the guns would cost over $10K each.
I'll add you to the list of others who have said that.You will never get it back together, You may as well send it to me
The Trane units only last 15 years? Might as well get a Goodman if thatās the case as Trane is not cheap. My last unit, forgot the brand, was over 35 years old. Much like new appliances, they probably donāt last as long as the older stuff.

You're saying there's a chance!I'll add you to the list of others who have said that.
Early in this thread I talked about replacing parts on our Trane. I don't know if I mentioned the T-stat was also replaced. Had to find one capable of controlling both compressors. My Trane tech neighbor helped me by jumping the T-stat connections so the air-handler would work until I got the new T-stat. It also has a connection for outside temp AND I have the sensor, I just haven't got around to getting up in the attic and running the wire for it...
I still need to fix the "emergency" heat grid as it is not coming on. The T-stat sends a signal but there must be a bad connection somewhere. The only time I think of fixing it are the 3 or 4 nights it gets down below 30Ā°F.
About the same as winning the Powerball, but yeah.

That was regarding the particular Trane unit WE have, that's over 22 years old. I can't speak to the ones currently made. I do know they make a great product. This one is what my in-laws had installed when they built the house a little more than 22 years ago.

Bobster- I did see that post, and it's what prompted me to post our recent event. heheEarly in this thread I talked about replacing parts on our Trane.

I think it's funny they found it necessary to zip tie a BB gun.

Let's not forget the lamp, baybee!!
TFW, if you could take a Gen Z kid back in time, you could make him feel sooo cheated.
No blue hair, no fat chicks, 30 cent gas and 4 speeds everywhere.

I forgot. And change back from your dollar at McDonalds.

While every generation pines for 'the good old days' - ie, the blue haired Glenn Miller/Guy Lombardo set, etc that are no longer with us; there is so much truth in that meme that can't be discounted.TFW, if you could take a Gen Z kid back in time, you could make him feel sooo cheated.

Consider this perspective (of mine), and I mean it.... 1000% serious. I felt more CERTAINTY in my life when I was on a carrier in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield than I do right now (and for many years running). No shit.

Duly noted. FWIW, I DO have certainty in my heart, but I also know that there is a certainty in-play right now: a fight both seen and unseen that is raging....the roots of this monster run deep, and have run and metastasized, spreading like a bacterieal disease for years. And the losers will not concede peacefully, but will take as many as they can with them as they go down. Criminally Insane, like their father.
POTUS and his people have ONE shot to get this right, ONE shot to do this. That's why it's taking as long as it is.
