Looking for info and parts on old Rheem furnace

Hello,

We have a Rheem furnace (model # RGLA-07EC-ER, serial # F4790 0817, 75K BTU/hr input) and I need (1) a fan delay control replacement and (2) to know the efficiency rating of this unit. The fan runs constantly and a local technician said it is my fan delay control, but he also said that we can't get a replacement part for it as no manufacturers make them any more and that we need to replace the furnance.

I am hoping that someone out there either repairs them for this model or they know where some parts are for it. Also, since we may have to replace it, what is the efficiency of this unit? I was unable to find any deails on google.

Thanks!

Matt

Thanks HVAC1000! My part (part # L4064A2030 6) looks like the first one you referenced (8" Fan and Limit Controller with 125 F fan on and 100 F fan off stops, 200 F limit ( 3 or 4 wire hook up): American HVAC Parts), although I didn't take it off the furnace so I can't confirm that mine has the long metal tube protruding out the back of the part. The inside looks the same.

The main reason we had the technition come out was because we had a horrible burning smell come out of the vents one morning. We unplugged it for a day, plugged it back in, and the smell didn't come back, and that's when I noticed that the fan would not shut off. Well, the smell is back now and it smells like a strong burnt rubber smell. Is my fan going out?

Thanks!

Matt
