Part number 51-102728-20 delivers reliable, variable-speed operation for outdoor condensing units.

Key Features

  • 1/3 HP ECM Technology: Electronically commutated motor with variable speed capability for precise airflow control.
  • Voltage & Specs: 208-230V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz, approximately 3.5 amps, up to 789 RPM (variable).

  • Quiet & Efficient Operation: Soft-start functionality reduces inrush current and mechanical stress.
  • Genuine OEM Part: Manufactured to exact Rheem/Ruud specifications for perfect fit and long-term reliability.

Benefits

  • Energy Savings: ECM motors are significantly more efficient than traditional PSC motors, reducing electricity consumption while maintaining strong airflow — especially valuable in variable conditions or two-stage systems.
  • Improved System Performance: Variable speed helps optimize condenser operation, enhances humidity control, reduces temperature swings, and supports better overall HVAC efficiency.
  • Enhanced Durability: Lower operating stress and smoother operation lead to longer motor life and reduced wear on other components.
  • Quiet Comfort: Reduced noise during startup and running for a more peaceful outdoor environment.
  • Easy OEM Replacement: Direct drop-in fit for compatible units, minimizing installation time and ensuring warranty compliance.

It also fits select WeatherKing, Sure Comfort, and other compatible Rheem-family systems. Always verify your unit’s model and serial number for exact fitment.
