ClimaTekUpgraded Furnace Vent Venter Exhaust Draft Inducer Motor Replaces Rheem Ruud Jakel J238-150-1533, J238-150-15165, RFB241, 66847, 70-24157-03

Item was delivered a bit early, which was great. I wondered if I would need a new gasket, and the motor came with one pre-attached, which was another thing I liked a lot. 4 screws lined right up, took less than 5 minutes to install, and it is working great. I used this on my father's rheem silhouette furnace, matched the old jakel motor number up, and this unit came up as a direct replacement. The old jakel motor still worked, but the squirrel cage had fallen apart completely (after about 25 years or so, leading to this purchase.)

Exact replacement for my unit and it's nice to have a quieter running furnace now.

It would have costed over $900 to have this part replaced by an HVAC company. Ordered the part on Amazon and spent 10 minutes changing it and saved over $700

Arrived damaged. Amazon customer service is useless. Requested a call only to get an auto dialer calling me repeating the same crap that was not helpful from the website.Box isn't damaged meaning this part was dropped prior to being sent out.Sad part is my furnace has been down since Monday morning (part arrived Wednesday so fast shipping I suppose) and I NEEDED THIS PART. Guess another cold 3 nights while I now wait for another unbroken part.UPDATED:Finally received the replacement for the replacement that originally showed up broken.5 minutes to remove the old motor and replace. Direct fit, 4 screw holes line up exactly with holes on the furnace, gasket included, furnace works correctly.

Great price, easy to install in about 25 minutes and a perfect replacement for the Jakel model I had.

This replacement induced draft fan was an exact replacement of the original factory fan. I worried when I ordered it, that it would be a different fit, but it was exact. It is well constructed with a set screw to anchor the squirrel cage on the motor shaft (unlike the factory one) and mounting screws for the motor assembly outside the main blower housing (the factory blower has them under the squirrel cage.....dumb). It was an easy swap out with only normal hole alignment difficulties mounting the new fan. Apparently it fits several furnace brands but mine is the Ruud Silhouette 2.

My old one was making a lot of noise so I bought this one. It’s a one for one replacement the wires lined up correctly and it was just easy just to swap everything out in about 15 minutes.

After a couple You Tube instructional videos, it was a fast and simple replacement.
