Rheem 51-106541-14 Blower Motor 120V 1/2 Hp Gas Furnace

Product Description

The RHEEM 51-106541-14 is a SelecTech Gen 3 blower motor designed for residential gas furnace air-handling applications. Rated at 1/2 horsepower and 120 volts, this motor drives the indoor blower wheel to circulate conditioned air through the supply duct system. It is a direct OEM replacement intended for installation by licensed HVAC technicians performing motor swap-outs on compatible Rheem and Ruud furnace platforms. The SelecTech Gen 3 designation indicates a variable-capable or multi-speed motor platform, delivering reliable airflow performance across heating and cooling cycles.

This motor is suited for residential gas furnace installations where the original 1/2 HP, 120-volt blower motor has failed or is operating outside acceptable performance parameters. Compatible model numbers confirmed in the product data include R801TA070317MUA, W801TA070317MUA, R802TA075317MSA/MXA, and W802TA075317MSA/MXA. These units represent both single-stage and two-stage Rheem and Ruud 80-series and 80-percent-efficiency gas furnace configurations.
