Full Diagnosis
Non-critical blower fault; blower can still run but airflow may be compromised.
All Recorded Causes
ECM blower has reached maximum speed/torque or temperature limit because static pressure is too high. Check filter, duct restrictions, closed registers, dirty blower wheel, and airflow setup.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Rheem model family and furnaces context before acting on a generic code description.
- Verify airflow first, then confirm operating pressures and temperature relationship before adjusting charge, since eCM blower has reached maximum speed/torque or temperature limit because static pressure i….
- Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm check filter, duct restrictions, closed registers, dirty blower wheel, and airflow setup.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the furnaces fault does not return under normal load.
