RAKA-024JAZ: Rheem Two-Ton R-22 Outdoor Condensing Unit and Ruud Platform Equivalence
The Rheem RAKA-024JAZ is a two-ton R-22 outdoor condensing unit from the RAKA residential product line, which is equivalent to the Ruud RKKA series under the same parent company with fully interchangeable service parts. The RAKA-024JAZ uses R-22 refrigerant that is no longer produced for new equipment and requires EPA 608 certified technicians for refrigerant circuit service. Annual capacitance testing of the dual run capacitor before the cooling season is the most cost-effective preventive maintenance step on this platform.
Most Replaced Parts on the Rheem RAKA-024JAZ
Dual Run Capacitor for the Rheem RAKA-024JAZ
The dual run capacitor provides starting and running torque for both the compressor and outdoor fan motor. A capacitor reading more than 10% below its rated microfarad value causes the compressor to hard-start. Match all three microfarad values from the installed capacitor label before ordering.
Rheem RAKA-024JAZ Contactor
The contactor closes the 240-volt compressor power circuit at every cooling cycle start. Pitted or burned contact surfaces generate heat that transfers to the compressor motor terminals. Replace a contactor with visibly eroded contacts before compressor winding damage occurs.
Outdoor Fan Motor for the RAKA-024JAZ
The outdoor fan motor pulls air through the condenser coil. Test the run capacitor before ordering a replacement motor, as a failed capacitor produces identical slow-start symptoms at a fraction of the motor replacement cost.
High-Pressure Switch for the RAKA-024JAZ
A high-pressure switch that trips repeatedly under normal ambient conditions points to a blocked condenser coil, failed fan motor, or refrigerant overcharge rather than a failed switch diaphragm.

Rheem RAKA-024JAZ Parts FAQ
What is the Rheem RAKA-024JAZ and what ton size is it?
The Rheem RAKA-024JAZ is a two-ton, R-22 residential outdoor condensing unit from Rheem’s RAKA series. The 024 identifies 24,000 BTU two-ton capacity and JAZ identifies the production configuration within the RAKA series.
Is the Rheem RAKA-024JAZ the same platform as a Ruud AC unit?
Yes. Rheem and Ruud are sister brands under the same parent company. The Rheem RAKA-024JAZ and its Ruud equivalent at the same configuration share the same platform engineering and all service components are interchangeable between both brand designations.
Why does my Rheem RAKA-024JAZ hum but not start?
A unit that hums but does not start has most commonly failed at the run capacitor, which cannot provide adequate starting torque to the compressor or fan motor. Test the capacitor with a digital capacitance meter before testing the contactor or compressor.
What refrigerant does the Rheem RAKA-024JAZ use?
The RAKA-024JAZ uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced for new equipment. Servicing the refrigerant circuit on R-22 equipment requires a certified HVAC technician with EPA 608 certification and access to reclaimed R-22 supplies.
