Can anyone help me out with a part # on a Rheem Compressor (RPKA-025JAZ)?
Model # is RPKA-025JAZ
Last summer my AC stopped working and the guy came out and found some piston that was clogged. He used a needle and pulled out something that looked like a tiny grain of sand. This time a different company was out for an electrical job (the first was hvac only) and I had them take a look as I was concerned we might have a whole-house grounding problem. They took out the multi-meter and said the compressor is shot? Anyone got a theory on what actually ocurred here? Should I call the other guy out or just bite the bullet and buy the compressor. Either way I'm going to have to have someone else out to do the install & flush the system I suppose. --Rob |

Many people in the HVAC trade are crooks and will tell you whatever they think you will accept. Thirty years ago a "Tech" told me that I needed a new compressor for one of my A/C systems. It was only the wires from the thermostat not making a good connection due to corrosion, and the unit is still working fine. Get another opinion from someone who is recommended by a satisfied customer. You won't be sorry. |
