To fix the issue of no air flow in the master bedroom and closet with the Rheem RH1T2417STANAA unit, follow these steps:
1. Check Air Filters – Ensure that the air filters are clean and not blocking airflow. The unit does not have an internal filter rack, so verify the external filter setup.
2. Inspect Ductwork – Look for any blockages, disconnected ducts, or leaks that may be restricting airflow to the affected areas.
3. Verify Blower Operation – Confirm that the blower motor is running properly. If the blower is not functioning, check power connections and the motor itself.
4. Examine Coil Installation – The unit is shipped with an indoor coil installed. Ensure the coil is correctly positioned and not obstructing airflow.
5. Check Power Supply – Since the unit supports both single-phase and three-phase 208/240V power, verify that power connections are correctly configured according to the manual’s guidance.
6. Inspect Airflow Settings – If applicable, adjust the unit’s airflow settings to ensure proper distribution.
7. Look for Obstructions – Ensure that vents and registers in the master bedroom and closet are open and not blocked by furniture or debris.
If the issue persists, consider contacting a qualified HVAC technician for further diagnosis.

The existing filter should be changed, I think. It’s recommended every 3 months correct? I’ve ordered three 17x21x 1 MERV (11) filters. The orientation of the filter should be with airflow going up - is this correct?

3.2.5 INSTALLATION IN CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS The metal parts of this unit may be subject to rust or deterioration if exposed to a corro- sive environment which can shorten its life. In addition to exposure to the exterior of the cabinet, chemical contaminants inside the building that can be drawn into the unit from the return air grille and attack structural metal parts, electrical components and the indoor coil, causing premature failure of the unit.
3.6 DUCTWORK Field ductwork must comply with the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B and any applicable local ordinance. Do not, under any circumstances, connect return ductwork to any other WARNING heat producing device such as fireplace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use of such devices may result in fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, explo- sion, personal injury or property damage.
3.8 ORIFICE SIZE The piston model air handler comes standard with a flow check piston installed. The pis- ton may need to be changed to a different orifice size depending upon the outdoor unit. The following table lists the recommended orifice size for various outdoor units. *Piston size installed at factory.
3.9.4 LEAK TESTING After all braze joints are completed, replace the valve core removed when purging with nitrogen and then leak test the system by pressurizing to 150 psig with dry nitrogen and allow the system to sit for at least 15 minutes (longer if possible) to assure the pressure does not drop.

terminal on the blower control board upon a call for a 2nd stage of heat which will in turn will energize the 2nd stage heater elements. The heater kit will cycle between the 1st and 2nd stages of heat at the direction of the thermostat. When the thermostat call for heat is satisfied or the thermostat is turned to the off posi- tion, the W1 terminal on the blower control board is de-energized which will de-energize the heating elements in a few seconds as the bimetallic disc in the sequencer cools.
4.6 CHECKING INDOOR AIR-FLOW 4.6.1 ESTIMATING CFM USING EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE A common method of checking indoor is to measure the external static pressure that the air-handler is working against and then referring to the air-flow data in Section 3.13.3. Measuring external static pressure to a high degree of precision in the field is challeng- ing, so keep in mind that the CFM determined by this method is an estimate, but is accu- rate enough for all practical purposes.

7.0 MAINTENANCE For continuing high performance, and to minimize possible equipment failure, it is essential that periodic maintenance be performed on this equipment. Consult your local dealer as to the proper frequency of maintenance and the availability of a maintenance contract.
• Slide blower assembly to back of cabinet and make sure it is completely engaged. • Replace 4 screws holding blower assembly to front channel of cabinet. Take care not to strip screws. • Replace low voltage control wiring with wire nuts and make sure wiring is per the wiring diagram and all connections are tight and secure.
7.8 REPLACEMENT PARTS Any replacement part used to replace parts originally supplied on equipment must be the same as or an approved alternate to the original part supplied. The manufacturer will not be responsible for replacement parts not designed to physically fit or operate within the design parameters the original parts were selected for.
