Dirt buildup on the individual fins acts as a counterweight, unbalancing the wheel and adding extra load to your new 1\/8 HP motor. A clean wheel ensures optimal CFM output and prevents your new motor from overheating or wearing down premature bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross-Reference \u0026amp; Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 51-108708-11 is a direct premium OEM replacement for the following components:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51-108708-01, 51-24020-11, 51-24363-11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad Ocean Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad Ocean ZWS- or K-series equivalent replacements\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\/Ruud Furnace \u0026amp; Air Handler Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e RGLN, RGPN, RGPT, REAB, RECB, RH1P\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeatherKing Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e WGLN, WGPN, WH1P\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rheem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53217593229675,"sku":"662766718706","price":282.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/9683\/9531\/files\/51-108708-11.jpg?v=1778704114","url":"https:\/\/tophvacparts.com\/products\/rheem-protech-51-108708-11-motor-broad-ocean-1-8-hp-direct-drive","provider":"HVAC Parts and Equipment Depot Open To Homeowners and Contractors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
