Complete Heat Exchanger Replacement on Rheem Gas Pack

Hey guys, I recently pulled that out of a wall and I had to do some demolition to get it out. But today's video, it may be a long one. It's about changing a heat exchanger on one of the Rheem RRNA, I think it's AL42 gas packs. I'm trying to show most of it so the new guys can see how to do it. Plus I'm doing a condenser fan motor at the same place. So stay tuned, here it comes this is what we're working on this condenser fan motor failed and i found a hole in the heat exchanger if i'm not mistaken this was a stainless one and there are the holes up here so we're going to do this heat exchanger and that condenser fan motor this blower motor and we have orange red i already know that but i like to mark it that um for one it lets other technicians know that this has been pulled. I'm pulling all this through because we have to disconnect all of this. As y'all see we got a stainless heat exchanger. It don't look to be in the best of shape but y'all saw the holes in the front of it. We need to get to disconnecting all of this which is no big deal. I basically disconnect everything and just remove this From the package unit Trying to tear this up see yep I got to pull that through This tiny little zip tie right here tells me that heat exchange has probably never been changed all that's well mostly all that's disconnected now we just gotta unhook our low voltage unhook our capacitor and compressor wires now to undo the power wires all right this piece is ready to come out all right we're gonna have to have our pipe wrenches and looks like i'm at least gonna need a new heat shield here I think I got one of those on the van here that I don't think I'm gonna be able to get out crow crows ain't coming out y'all see all those holes in the heat exchanger now probably over here too you got some oh all right so what what i was trying to find were these plates right here um yeah that heat exchanger's busted too i mean this over here i'm gonna have trouble with a lot of this there's another screw back down there but it's easier to remove once you get this off get this out of here and we got one more down on the bottom there and we got a little holder for these tubes that mounts right here this and something most of these package units are only this tall this one's a little bit taller i think there's some screws right here here we go looks like one that i might be able to fumbling too a little screw that holds that in get this last screw but i'm doing this in speed one with the gen two of these there was no way i could have done that it would just go it wouldn't impact how about that this new gen three um impact because i can use that speed one looking across this to see if um crossover burners are blocked all of them seem to be open let's go ahead and mount this while we got while we got it out hey we need this additional amount so i need a blue box cover that little plate that goes on the bottom both of those i can add on later very easily hey genie hey i need to ask you about um a flue box cover for one of the ream gas packs a heat shield and there is a plate that goes under the burners um you're talking about well the radiation shield's on top isn't it i'm talking about no the the radiation shield's on top of the burners there's another one that may be another type of radiation shield that is on the bottom on the very bottom of the burners okay all right y'all i was trying to order parts i ordered a new flue box cover a new heat shield but i have one on the van and um that new it's kind of a burner radiation shield sort of thing she didn't call this a flubox cover she called it a collector box there we go all right so that's broken it's not gonna do me any good but this one i can use and we have a rollout switch right here they do get quite hot so the plastic becomes brittle in fact i can go i can go pick up collector box well guys my my battery died but i had to pull this back out and install it and then put my screw in here all right let's get the blower hold on let's get something plate under there you got one hole lined up let's get the other one now we can put the blower in control panel all right so we got get all this wired back up and this has to come through here wiring this up is easy these go right here and don't matter which one goes where of course hook up your tube here and i'm going to have a little grommet to put in there of course your this gas valve is single stage it don't matter which one of these goes where it's just a 24 volt coil these go around here to your rollout switch this is your flame sensor oh that slid right on all right got all that hooked up we got to hook up our compressor wires this is run i noticed because i left my capacitor still hooked up common and the herm start all right our thermostat wires we're going to need to feed through here all right we got those wires through got our low voltage hooked up well guys um color football is almost here black blue and red okay so i didn't have my spark wire routed through the right hole i did i had it out here y'all may have noticed that i've got a little grommet for right here it's not cooperating there we go there we go now that's on the right yeah i'm not going to zip tie this together because um i'm coming back to remove this all right guys this video is mostly about doing the heat exchanger which i am all but that collector box i'm pretty much done so i'm gonna fast forward doing the condenser fan motor all right the amperage rating on that motor is 2.6 this is a r22 system so i'm glad to see pressures are doing fine thank you thank you all right have a good one you too all right we are back place this box i feel much safer about leaving this it's not heating season yet but they're probably going to have to call and get somebody to come turn on the gas in fact i might do that now gas is already on completely done i appreciate y'all watching i hope it was informative to some of the new guys um that's just how i do those heat exchangers the whole job including the condenser fan motor and running to the parts house took me four hours so normally if i have everything i need just a heat exchanger is about three hours maybe a little bit less once again thanks for watching and i'll catch you on the next one
