Rheem R-410A Complete Split System Heat Pump 2 Ton 14 SEER 11.6 EER. RHKLHM Series Questions & Answers
What size wire and how does it hook to thr unit rpkb-036jaz
Look at rating plate on side of unit for Volts, Amps, Watts.Volts x amps = watts. If unit is 240Volts, then you need double-pole 240Volt breakerIf unit is 8500 watts at max power, then 8500 watts divided by 240Volts = 35 amps.What size breaker for 35 amps?When electricians figure load rating for breakers, they use the 80% rule. 40 amp breaker x 80% = 32 amp safe maximum load for 40 amp breaker. Use 8 gauge wire with 40 amp breaker.50 amp breaker x 80% = 40 amp safe maximum for 50 amp breaker. I use 6 gauge wire with 50 amp breaker.60 amp breaker x 80% = 48 amp safe maximum for 60 amp breaker. Again, use 6 gauge wire with 60 amp breaker.How to connect wires to unit.First of all, all outdoor HVAC units require power cut off located next to unit.This lets the mechanic, or service tech turn power off to work on unit, even if the mechanic does not have access to main breaker box.Next, open unit to see where wires connect.If unit has wires, then connect both hot wires from 240 breaker to the wires inside unit. Connect bare ground wire to green ground screw.If unit has terminals. The terminals will be labeled L1 L2. Connect each hot wire from 240Volt breaker to either one of the screw terminals. Then bare ground goes to green ground screw.Copy following links for basic illustrations connecting wires to terminals, and to breakers, and selecting wire size.http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-Tankless-electric-water-heater.html If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at

Rheem 42VP50FW won't light? Ignitor lights though
The three most common reasons for this happening to you are 1) a defective gas valve, 2) a rusty thermopile, and/or 3) the automatic shut-off not working as it should.
So, the most common reason for many people having this problem stems from having a gas valve that is not working as it should. When your gas control valve is faulty, it will mean that your burner is not going to be igniting as it should-or at all.
Something that worked for me one time was to turn the Temp all the way down then all the way to Max a couple of times..gradually.
Why it worked I don't know. Got a couple more years out of it though. Good luck!
Best to you.

Rheem furnace error code 68 fix?
Hi,
From what I'm seeing this means that there is a bad part within your furnace and it needs to be replaced. It might be the thermostat. You might need to reach out to a local HVAC company to diagnose the issue in person.
Thank you.
Rheem Failed Ignition lockout
the gas valve can be replaced, but you will have to pay for installation. this is not a DIY. You can throw money and parts at it. Personally I've replaced my water heater at the first sign of problems. Are they inexpensive no If you furnish model number I can look further.
My new Rheem 27 tankless hot water system is not hot
if system is new call whomever installed it and it repaired under warranty. there are several reasons unit is not producing hot water. First thing I would check is temp setting. Again call for service under warranty.
