Keep your Rheem RGRA-06EMAES furnace running efficiently with genuine OEM replacement parts from Repair Clinic. The 06EMAES/Serial: FY is a 60,000 BTU upflow condensing gas furnace from Rheem’s Achiever 90 Plus series, achieving over 90% AFUE through a secondary heat exchanger that produces acidic condensate during normal heating operation. It is the smallest output configuration in the RGRA condensing line, designed for well-insulated smaller homes or supplemental heating applications where 90,000 or 100,000 BTU would exceed the heating load. Repair Clinic stocks genuine Rheem OEM parts for the RGRA-06EMAES including the Rheem igniter parts, Rheem flame sensor parts, Rheem draft inducer motor parts, Rheem pressure switch parts, and Rheem control board parts.

RGRA-06EMAES: Achiever 90 Plus 60,000 BTU Condensing Platform and Its 90,000 and 100,000 BTU Siblings
The Rheem RGRA-06EMAES at 60,000 BTU, the RGTA-09EZAJS at 90,000 BTU, and the RGRA-10EZAJS at 100,000 BTU all share the same Achiever 90 Plus condensing platform but use inducer motors sized for their respective output classes. The condensing-rated inducer on the 06EMAES/Serial: FY must tolerate moisture from condensate-laden flue gases and must never be substituted with a standard 80% AFUE inducer. A blocked condensate drain is the most common cause of pressure switch faults on the RGRA-06EMAES. The Rheem furnace troubleshooting guide covers Achiever 90 Plus fault code interpretation.
Most Replaced Parts on the Rheem RGRA-06EMAES
Condensate Trap for the RGRA-06EMAES
Annual flushing of the condensate trap at the beginning of the heating season is the single most cost-effective preventive maintenance step for the RGRA-06EMAES. Algae growth in the trap during the warm-weather idle period causes most pressure switch fault calls at early heating season startup on the Achiever 90 Plus platform.
Rheem RGRA-06EMAES Draft Inducer Motor
The condensing-rated inducer on the 06EMAES/Serial: FY is sized for 60,000 BTU combustion gas throughput. It must tolerate moisture from condensate-laden flue gases that would quickly corrode a standard 80% AFUE inducer. A standard 80% inducer must never be substituted. Bearing failure presents as grinding at startup during the pre-purge phase.
Pressure Switch Assembly for the RGRA-06EMAES
Inspect and flush the condensate drain trap before replacing the pressure switch on any condensing furnace. The vast majority of 06EMAES/Serial: FY pressure switch fault calls trace to a blocked condensate drain rather than a failed switch diaphragm.
Hot Surface Igniter for the RGRA-06EMAES
The igniter on the RGRA-06EMAES functions identically to igniters in any Rheem gas furnace regardless of the condensing platform. Testing resistance at room temperature with power off confirms or rules out igniter failure in under two minutes.
RGRA-06EMAES Control Board
The control board manages condensate monitoring and ignition sequencing specific to the Achiever 90 Plus condensing platform. It is not interchangeable with boards from the non-condensing Rheem RGPH Classic series. Document the LED fault code before ordering any replacement component.
Why Choose Repair Clinic for Rheem 06EMAES/Serial: FY Parts

- Condensate System Priority: Annual drain trap flushing guides prevent the most common RGRA-06EMAES pressure switch fault from recurring at every heating season startup.
- 365-Day Returns: Return any uninstalled Rheem part within a full year of purchase with no restocking fees.
Rheem RGRA-06EMAES Furnace Parts FAQ
Is the Rheem RGRA-06EMAES related to the Ruud UGRA series?
Yes. The Rheem RGRA and Ruud UGRA are the same condensing furnace platform sold under different brand names. The RGRA-06EMAES and its Ruud equivalent share all service components, and parts are fully interchangeable between both brand designations.
Why does my RGRA-06EMAES produce a pressure switch fault at the start of the heating season?
Early-season pressure switch faults on the RGRA-06EMAES are almost always caused by algae growth in the condensate trap during the warm months when the furnace was idle. Flushing the condensate trap with clean water before the first heating call each season prevents this recurring fault.
What type of venting does the Rheem RGRA-06EMAES require?
The RGRA-06EMAES is a condensing furnace requiring Schedule 40 PVC venting for both exhaust and combustion air intake. Metal B-vent is not appropriate for this model because it cannot tolerate the acidic condensate that forms in the flue gases of a condensing furnace.
