Tappan Electric Furnace Sequencer

QUESTION:

I have an old Tappan Electric Furnace (25 yrs) that has a bad sequencer. The sequencer is a Controls Co. of America, Model 38-4-FPRDB, Device
120038-022. Is Controls Co. of America still in business? Is there a chance that I will be able to find this exact sequencer or recommended substitute?

ANSWER:

I don't know if Control Company of America is still in business or not but there is only about 2 or 3 manufactors of Sequencers for the last 40 years and you should have no problem finding a replacement for the one you have. There was only 2 types used 25 years ago and Tappan could have used. They were the standard stack sequancer and the big block G/E type. Both of these sequancers are still being made today.
Now if you going to use a hvac service company to do the work , he should have a replacement instock or on his service van. These type replacement parts are the easiest part to find and get. I keep 6 or 8 in my van during winter time.
