## Overview

The ICM281 Furnace Control Replacement is a microprocessor-based, surface-mount control board designed for Carrier furnaces. It supports a wide voltage range (98-132 VAC), manages key furnace components including ignitor, blower, inducer, and gas valve, and features LED diagnostics for easy troubleshooting. With built-in safety features like 100% gas shutoff on ignition failure and reverse polarity protection, it ensures reliable, safe heating performance. Compatible with standard 24 VAC thermostats, this control board is a direct replacement for multiple Carrier models, making it a smart, efficient upgrade for long-term furnace reliability.

## Description

The ICM281 fixed speed furnace control replaces the following Carrier/BDP modules: CESO110057, CESO110057-1, CESO110057-2, CESO110048, CESO110020, and HH84AA016 The ICM281 has incorporated LED diagnostics to assist in troubleshooting. It is recommended that a sight glass (not included) be installed in a convenient location on the furnace to take advantage of this feature. If a sight glass is not installed, the self-test feature of the board can still be used for routine troubleshooting. A fault code label is included in this package and must be installed on the furnace. Features Controls gas valve, ignitor, blower motor, inducer, humidifier and air cleaner Microprocessor-based Designed for 100% gas shutoff in case of ignition failure Twinning Reverse polarity protection Secondary brownout voltage protection Compatible with 24 VAC standard thermostat Provides diagnostic LEDs to aid in troubleshooting

Review: So far so good! - I received and installed the controller yesterday, so I don't have a lot of ongoing information at this point. But so far so good. As soon as I installed it and ran all the start up tests, I turned the furnace on, and it worked like new. It feels very solid and look to be a quality product. I don't anticipate any problems in the future though.
Review: Works very well! - Purchased the ICM281 CESO110057 for our Carrier 58PAV090. After 22 years of service, our Carrier furnace appeared to be down for the count. Thanks to an assortment of valuable info gathered from various forums and youtube videos, we were able to narrow the problem to a control board issue (cold solder joints) plaguing some Carrier furnaces. -Old Control Board- Basically, the furnace's hot surface ignitor (HSI) would light up fine, but for some reason the main burners wouldn't fire up and after 4 attempts it would go into "lockout" mode and shut the entire system down. We were told that we could restart/reset the system at the thermostat by turning it off and then back on, in order to get it to come out of lockout mode. Well, we discovered that the furnace could still fire up on occasion after approx 4-6 re-starts during the daytime and 9-12+ resets during the cold night. Inconsistent heat is better than no heat, well... not by much. There was only heat if you have the patience to reset it several times and each reset would take approx 5 minutes each to complete. While waiting for the new board to arrive, getting up in the middle of the night to wait for the furnace to start up after each reset was the pits. We did install a WIFI thermostat and an IP camera in order to NOT have to get up by the thermostat to reset it, but this morning it took 23 resets and there was still no heat. Didn't continue because it was time to get to work. -New control board- So this morning we get an alert saying that the control board will be delivered one day earlier. Hallelujah! Sure enough, the board arrived on the porch this evening and I quickly went to work. Unplugged the furnace, unscrewed the various covers, and pulled out the old board. Not too difficult, there are plenty of videos on youtube that give you a good idea of what to watch out for and how to do it. It sort of felt like building a PC, except I actually bothered to label all of the wires just in case I forgot where they go on the new control board. It probably took about 35 minutes of actual work, I took photos of the wiring at every step of the procedure to make sure that I didn't cross wires or leave anything off. Once complete, I double checked everything, screwed the covers back on, and then plugged in the furnace. Turned on the heat and for every second there was silence, it seemed like an eternity. Fortunately, the inducer kicked in, the ignitor started to glow, and to my surprise not long after that, the burners kicked in! What used to take about 5 minutes (x 23 attempts), now took about a minute. Saw beautiful blue gas coursing through the chambers of hte burners. Never thought I'd be that excited about gas, but after several freezing nights, it was a sight for sore eyes. Thank goodness for this new control board, what a relief and what a difference a board makes!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great repair part, very reasonable price.
*by R***Z on May 2, 2025*

Exactly replaces the circuit control board in our good, old Carrier high efficiency gas furnace, and it has a diagnostic LED in the event of troubles in the future. Removal and installation was easy. Skill required is basic. Instructions are quite clear. I was not able to sort out the failed component failure of the original circuit board so complete replacement was the best option. Price is so good, too. Completely satisfied. I share these photos of wiring placement and visible faults in old part for your benefit.
