Gas and Oil Home Heating Furnaces - Accidentally hooked a 110v gas furnace to 220, now Inducer Motor won't start

First off I'd just like to say that this is a great website, and is a very valuable resource to anyone who owns/maintains a home. I recently tried to install a gas furnace. Where I had decided to set the furnace up, there happened to be a power wire handy. I hooked this wire up to the furnace, not realizing that it was 220. After the furnace ran for almost a minute there was a small pop, and that never good smell of electronics. I shut it down, and immediately figured out what I had done. I suspected that I may have burnt up the inducer motor. This isn't the case, as I have removed and tested the motor. Now the furnace will stay lit on pilot, but something is burnt up in the systems that tells the inducer motor to turn on. I was wondering what everyone would think the problem could be, or where to start testing. I am fairly handy with a VOM. My uneducated guesses would be transformer, or something burnt on the board(nothing visually wrong)(The furnace is a fairly new Rheem BTW) Any input would be apprciated :)

1st check the fuses. Then the board. You've probably smoked the board.

Only found 1 fuse in the furnace, and it was good. I guess I'll pull the board and start probing at it.

I bet if you're married your wife is saying "I told you so!"

Don't tear it apart right away. Have you got the electric hooked up properly yet? I think those Rheems have a fuse on the board but it's not replaceable. Unless you're in to soldering circuit boards.

I did hook up the proper electric, and thermostat. I tried it without it hooked up, and it still did not work. I am capable of replacing parts of the board, but they aren't as much as I expected they would be, and I may just buy a new on. This one does have a bit of green corrosion I am going to try and clean off. Thanks for your help, I'll look for a fixed fuse. I also deserve the "I told you so's" as I really should have known better. :rolleyes:

With the electric applied take your multi-meter and check to see if you have secondary voltage out of the transformer. If so see if you've got voltage going into the board, if so with a call for heating see if anything is at connections for inducer or W on the board. If you've got voltage going in the board but not out it's bad.

could just be the transformer. iw ould look at that first

good advice from matt, boards do what they are told, if the do not, they are bad. very simple
