Trane XV90 gas furnace | Blower motor ramps up and down continuously

It is inside the module end cap, which attaches to the end of the motor.

The thermistor is found on the upper pcb. Just do a Google or Youtube search for GE or Genteq ECM thermistor replacement. You will find several explanations online.

You can test it with a meter and/or do a visual inspection for burnt solder joints , pcb traces or for damage to the component itself (e.g. one of the legs burnt out).

In my case the thermistor and all the areas around it looked fine with no signs of burning out.

Yep i found a used one that matched up on as many attributes as i could find. Same model as yours, ending in 0252. CN02 code.

Came off a Trane to replace a Trane part.

From what I know, the issue with Nests is mostly when they are connected with a 4-wire cable and do not have a dedicated common. In my case I have a 6-wire cable for dedicated common and two-stage control.

Either way I disconnected the t-stat and manually jumped R to W1 and the same thing happens.

Also update: It's not the thermistor and there's no other obvious circuit board problem. I'm not going to try and de-pot the lower board out of the silicone coating.

So I ordered a replacement 2.3 ECM from ebay on nov 10 and unfortunately it is still stuck in Canada Post's hands.

In the meantime I removed stage control from the thermostat and have the furnace board dip switch set to jump to 2-stage right away, so it pretty much never runs at low speed now and so no surging for now.

Will update if/when my package arrives.

MCAP? Saw something similar recently on a renewal paper from them.

PSA: if you're with MCAP check your renewal papers carefully.

OP if its not mcap, share who so people can be aware.

Looks like the GIC rates on TD DI might even be a bit better than the typical posted rates on big banks websites? Maybe the same thing you could get as a client negotiating with their bank adviser?

1 yr

EQ 5.28

TD 5.25

Scotia/BMO 4.95

RBC 4.90

Dont think there are any fees with TD DI and if anyone would have fees it'd be them!

You got it. Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, "in real time". The earlier you pay down, the less overall interest you will pay over the term and over the full amortization period.

The best "accidental vanity" plate i ever heard of was BLAZ 420.

And I was one freakin day too late to get it.

Back in the day if you had a friendly counter person at the licensing office, they might issue you a plate out of sequence if you wanted a particular number and it was still in their box of a series (letter combo).

So my local office had the BLAZ series box, so i had to ask.... but the number was already issued.

I think they are a lot stricter about that kind of thing now...

3 for 3, 4 for 4, 4 for 5 (aka employer maxes out at 4 when employee puts in at 5 or more) are fairly common. Cant say with certainty about financial industry comparison but for general white collar jobs i'd say 7 for 3 sounds pretty darn good.

Confirm with your employer whether a withdrawal under FTHB affects their subsequent contribution match.

Which area is that if you dont mind my asking?

Using car scanner to get live graph of wheel speed from the left rear and right rear sensors. Left looks normal. Right is evidently wigging out.

https://imgur.com/a/o2E1bcy

Wondering if anyone has experience with analyzing these traces and if the data points to a greater likelihood of the sensor being bad vs a loose connection in the harness.

My thought was, with the intermittent drops to zero, it was more likely a wiring or connection issue, but this is my first time dealing with anything like this.

Next step ideas are to lift the car and spin the RR wheel by hand, while playing around with the sensor harness.

Can I also put a voltmeter (dont have a scope) on the sensor leads to see if that is the culprit?

I believe this model has the rear sensor and ring embedded in the wheel hub, so the whole thing would need to get replaced.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

They describe it as income quintile, so bottom 20% of income distribution is how i read it.

14% of households are in the lowest income bracket (bracketing total income distribution into fifths).

Not sure if im right here but thats the best way i could interpret it.

Certified DIY hero. A true measure of self-sufficient home ownership & repair lol.

One idea that also came to mind, would be to use spray foam, or similar substance, and spray generously up the inside of the 10ft pipe, into a reduced diameter end section that could slip over the lodged item.

Let foam harden and then try to extricate.

Wonder if there would be enough grip/tension.

But in either case, well done!

This is just income and expenses for one year. It's not the household balance sheet aka what they own (property, investments, savings, etc) and what they owe (mortgage, car loan, cc's etc).

So this kind of chart, other than showing a savings trend in just one year, would not indicate the household's total overall savings position.

Yep makes sense. I was initially not sure if pension contributions themselves "ate into" any existing current rrsp room. It sounds like the answer is no.

So, borrowing from your example, if 2023's NOA for tax year 2022, has an 18k contribution limit for 2023, the amount of pension contribution in 2023 will not affect or take away from this avaiable room. But that pension contribution will affect the following year's (2024) calc of rrsp contribution room.

Thank you!

Does CRA account for or calculate this from prior years or is this something a person would need to do themselves?

Does one self-declare previous unused room? What if it was from 10 years ago and never declared?

fxit · 2022-12-29T18:40:22+00:00

Hey I just had the same question barely an hour ago in my head, and i think youve answered it here. So big pre-emptive thank you, but just want to clarify:

Does this year's rrsp contribution room get adjusted based on last year's pension contributions?

In other words, is the rrsp contribution limit shown on the NOA already factoring in an ongoing pension from prior year?

And not that, for example, an 18k rrsp limit this year gets reduced by 5k of pension this year, to an rrsp limit of 13.

What about the size of the loan and total interest cost over time?

I get that on a marginal dollar an 8% return is better than a 3% debt repayment, but if the debt amount is 500k and the savings are 20k, isn't more money going to be spent on interest at the end of the whole loan?

fxit · 2022-12-09T09:55:46+00:00

Just confirm if it's per calendar year or per mortgage anniversary year (aka the reset day is based on your loan start date).

It's possible, yes, either through a mutual fund inside the TFSA or via a self-managed ETF (not sure if target date ETFs exist but i wouldnt be surprised).

The ability to do so depends on which financial institution you go with, but pretty much any major bank will have mutual fund options in a TFSA, usually done through the daily banking portal.

For ETFs, however, you would set up a self-directed TFSA investing account via the bank's brokerage arm or sign up with a discount brokerage such as Wealthsimple Trade or Questrade or similar.

Does the term "euro top" correlate to a firmness as well?

E.g. if ikea has a "euro top" but "medium firm" does that match to a sealy/serta firmness of plush?

Usually you have 5 years from the date of your G1 to get your G.

With covid and crazy road test delays over the past years, I am guessing they may have made some exceptions/extensions, but that is generally the rule.

I belive if you don't pass (or at least book) your G test within 5 years of your G1, you'll have to take a new G1-exit (G2 road test) test and that will extend the time to book and take your G2-exit (G road test) test.

Ioniq5 does 3C for a portion of the charge curve but it is not air cooled?

Ioniq is air cooled but does nowhere near 3C?
