what would cause a 1 year old rheem compressor to seize? I replaced the compressor in the outdoor rheem AC unit last year. It worked fine all of last summer. This year, we had some deck work done during which a contractor moved my unit. After reconnecting, he claimed the compressor seized and he did a hard start, but predicted it would probably die soon because it was not properly installed by the previous installer. Is this believable or did he damage it during his deck work? How can I find out if I am being duped?

Rheem Furnace Is Blowing Cold Air Constantly? My Rheem gas heating furnace in my attic has started to exhibit a problem. I came home to find it blowing cold air constantly. I opened up the furnace and found that one of the three round temperature sensors had "tripped". They each have a tiny reset button on top of them. It was the top sensor that has it's face positioned downward, that had "tripped". So I pushed the reset button and restarted the furnace. It worked for about an hour, then it tripped again and the furnace started blowing cold air. What happens is the burners shutoff when the sensor is tripped, but the fan stays on continuously. This continuous cold air mode apparently is "as designed" by Rheem and tells you that something is wrong. There are four burners inside my Rheem furnace. One of them seems to be spitting flames occassionally in the opposite direction of the normal gas/flame flow. Backdrafting I guess it the best word for it. What could be causing that? It must be what's tripping the sensor.
How long can I expect my Rheem heat pump/air conditioner to last for my home? This is a two-part question: 1) I don't know the first thing about air conditioning units, but a friend of mine told me residential air conditioners only last a maximum of 10-12 years. This seems like a pretty short lifespan for such an expensive piece of equipment. Is he correct? 2) Also, is the heat pump a separate unit from the air conditioner?

Has anyone experienced any problems with a Rheem or GE Smart Water natural gas hot water heater? Home Depot sells them as GE Smart Water units, but they are manufactured and serviced by Rheem Manufacturing. I should point out that the problem has been ongoing since it was installed less than a year ago. Rheem has sent a plumbing contractor out four times. Insufficient natural gas w.c. has been ruled out. Dip tube is not missing and is not damaged. The thermostat control unit has been replaced TWICE. Yesterday, the burner assembly, and all its components, was replaced. The plumbing contractor pointed to the fact that the original burner's flame appeared as if it were pointing upward and gripping something when it should look like the palm of someone holding a basket ball. The "new" burner looked fine when the plumber left. The next day, though, that "curled in" flame was back.
