Review on Rheem Furnace Vent Pressure Switch by Dave Brummet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good replacement for my stock unit

My oven malfunctions from time to time and won't heat up. After some diagnostics I found it was my pressure sensor (or at least I think so, or possibly the hose. Could be both). This one is much smaller than the OEM but still gets the job done and is fully integrated. A separate microswitch was installed on the old device. All I had to do was remove 2 fittings and a rubber hose and replace with a new block and piece of hose. Checked, everything is fine now. It's a lot cheaper to do it yourself than paying an HVAC specialist. The only thing I noticed is that the picture is different than what I received. The picture gives the impression that the connectors are angled downwards when in reality they are horizontal, making it difficult to mount the wires and then place them so they don't hit the latch on the panel covering the oven area completes. But a small mod and all is well.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
