ICM271
Replacement Description
The ICM271 Fan Control Center is a solid state control designed and
engineered for the replacement market. The ICM271 is designed specifically
to replace the Carrier/BDP Gas Furnace Control Centers that have been
used in new equipment for many years. The ICM271 is a form, fit and
functional replacement of the OEM control requiring no modifications to the
original wiring or to the appliance's sheet metal.
The ICM271 is a form, fit and functional replacement of the OEM control for
the following Carrier/BDP part numbers:

The ICM271 has the same features and functions as the current Carrier/
BDP replacement (HH84AA020). The ICM271 has additional optional
features and some slight operational differences than the older obsolete
Carrier/BDP units. These options and operational differences are listed
below.
Note: Some older Carrier models did not have a cooling fan relay.
1. On older Carrier/BDP models, the low-speed blower would still function
if the 24 volt transformer malfunctions. This will not happen with the
ICM271.
2. If the JW1 jumper is cut, a constant low-speed blower will occur without
any thermostat signal. Also, a signal applied to the GC or Y terminals will
not bring on the hi-speed blower during the cooling mode. Therefore, the
JW1 jumper must not be cut on cooling applications.
3. The 24 volt circuit is fuse protected which is not true on earlier Carrier/
BDP models. A 3 amp automotive type fuse is used to protect the
thermostat and transformer circuits from shorts.
Note: On the ICM271, a blown fuse will cause the lo-speed blower to
come on and remain on until the fuse has been replaced.
4. The ICM271 has an easy-to-remove vent damper jumper plug. This
