When replacing this motor, we strongly recommend installing a dedicated HVAC surge protector at the furnace or air handler. Most 51-102603-01 failures occur in the control module rather than the motor windings; a small investment in surge protection can save you from a costly motor replacement down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross-Reference \u0026amp; Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 51-102603-01 is a direct OEM replacement for the following part numbers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51-102603-01, 51-101901-01, 51-102603-81\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGE\/Genteq Refs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5SME39SL0013, 5SME39SL0585, ECM 3.0 Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtensive Model Compatibility List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRheem Prestige Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e R96V, R97V, R98V, RHMV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuud Ultra Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e U96V, U97V, U98V, UHMV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Units:\u003c\/strong\u003e R96VA0702317MSA, R97VA070317MSA, RHMV2421MEACN, RHMV6021SEACN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rheem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191562428779,"sku":"0662766398816","price":845.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/9683\/9531\/files\/51-102603-01.jpg?v=1778186805","url":"https:\/\/tophvacparts.com\/products\/rheem-protech-51-102603-01-genuine-oem-ecm-3-0-programmable-blower-motor-3-4-hp-120-240v","provider":"HVAC Parts and Equipment Depot Open To Homeowners and Contractors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
