Five common parts in Rheem products

Most parts of a Rheem product can be fixed or replaced if they start to work less efficiently or break down. Before working on your appliance, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the owners manual. Youll also want to make sure you disconnect the power supply so that the unit doesnt start up while youre working on it.

  1. Evaporator coils—Air handlers that provide cooling capabilities will have evaporator coils. If the coils are too dirty or damaged, then they may not work efficiently and may need to be cleaned or replaced.
  2. Primary burner—Some air handlers may be paired with a gas furnace for heating capabilities. If the primary burner on the furnace doesnt ignite, then it wont heat and move air.
  3. Control board—Some units, such as a furnace or air handler, may have an electronic control board that manages how the unit cycles. If the control board fails, then the unit may work poorly or not at all.
  4. Air filter—The air filter cleans the air coming into the air handler through the return duct to protect the internal parts from any airborne contaminants and debris. If the air filter is clogged, air may not pass through it efficiently, and the unit may not work well.
  5. Blower fan—The blower fan activates once the air inside the furnace or air handler has reached the appropriate temperature and moves air through the ductwork. If it breaks, then the fan will need to be replaced.
