Rheem 55-108661-11 Compressor Ac Replacement

Product Description

The RHEEM 55-108661-11 is a direct replacement compressor for select Rheem and Ruud split-system air conditioners. The compressor is the heart of the refrigerant circuit, converting low-pressure refrigerant vapor into high-pressure vapor and driving the entire cooling cycle. This component is specified as an OEM part and is installed by licensed HVAC technicians during compressor swap-outs on affected outdoor condensing units. Proper handling of refrigerant and electrical disconnects is required before and during installation.

This compressor is referenced on the parts lists for specific Rheem and Ruud condensing unit models. It is intended for residential split-system cooling applications where the original compressor has failed or is operating outside acceptable performance parameters. Installation is performed at the outdoor condensing unit and involves recovering the existing refrigerant charge before the old compressor is removed.

Key Features

• OEM-specified replacement compressor for affected Rheem and Ruud condensing units
• Direct fitment to models listed on the original Rheem parts documentation
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Specified on the parts lists for models RA15AZ60AJ3CA, RA16AZ60AJ3CA, and RP16AZ60AJ3CA. This part also covers applications where a previously specified compressor has been superseded by part number 55-108661-11.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician. Recover all refrigerant from the system before removing the existing compressor. De-energize and lock out the disconnect at the outdoor unit before beginning any electrical or refrigerant work. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes throughout the replacement procedure.
