4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to install the SupplyMount RTG20239BH control board. It is recommended that this procedure be performed by a qualified HVAC technician.
- Power Disconnection: Locate the main electrical disconnect for your HVAC system (typically at the outdoor unit and/or furnace/air handler) and turn off all power. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Access the Existing Control Board: Open the access panel(s) of your HVAC unit to expose the existing control board. Note its location and orientation.
- Document Wiring: Before disconnecting any wires, take clear photographs of all wiring connections to the existing control board. Label each wire and its corresponding terminal on the old board. This step is crucial for correct re-connection.
- Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect all wires from the old control board.
- Remove Old Control Board: Unscrew or unclip the old control board from its mounting points and remove it from the unit.
- Install New Control Board: Position the SupplyMount RTG20239BH control board in the same location and orientation as the old board. Secure it using the existing screws or clips.
- Reconnect Wiring: Using your photographs and labels as a guide, carefully reconnect all wires to the corresponding terminals on the new SupplyMount RTG20239BH control board. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Close Access Panels: Once all wiring is reconnected and verified, close and secure all access panels on the HVAC unit.
- Restore Power: Turn on the main electrical power to your HVAC system at the service panel.
- System Test: Initiate a test cycle for your HVAC system (e.g., turn on heating or cooling) to verify proper operation of the new control board and the entire system. Monitor for any unusual noises, smells, or error codes.

5. Operating Instructions
The SupplyMount RTG20239BH control board operates automatically as part of your HVAC system. It interprets signals from your thermostat and other sensors to manage the various components of your heating and cooling system. There are no direct user operating controls on the board itself.
To operate your HVAC system, refer to the user manual for your specific thermostat and HVAC unit. The control board will respond to commands such as:
- Changing temperature settings.
- Switching between heating, cooling, and fan-only modes.
- Setting fan operation (Auto/On).
6. Maintenance
The SupplyMount RTG20239BH control board is designed for reliable, long-term operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks of your overall HVAC system are recommended.
- Annual System Inspection: Have a qualified HVAC technician perform an annual inspection of your entire system. They can check for loose connections, dust accumulation on components, and overall system health, which can indirectly affect the control board.
- Keep Area Clean: Ensure the area around your HVAC unit is clean and free of dust, debris, and obstructions to promote proper airflow and prevent component overheating.
- Filter Replacement: Regularly replace or clean your HVAC system's air filters as recommended by your unit's manufacturer. A clogged filter can strain the system and potentially impact control board function.
7. Troubleshooting
If your HVAC system is not functioning correctly after installing the SupplyMount RTG20239BH control board, consider the following troubleshooting steps. Always disconnect power before inspecting internal components.
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System not turning on (no heat/cool/fan) | No power to the unit; loose wiring connection; thermostat issue; tripped circuit breaker. | Check circuit breaker. Verify power is restored to the unit. Inspect all wiring connections to the control board and thermostat. Ensure thermostat is set correctly. |
| Fan runs continuously or not at all | Incorrect fan setting on thermostat; faulty fan relay on control board; wiring issue. | Check thermostat fan setting (Auto/On). Inspect fan wiring connections. If problem persists, professional diagnosis may be required. |
| Heating or cooling not engaging | Thermostat setting incorrect; outdoor unit issue; refrigerant levels low (cooling); gas supply issue (heating); sensor malfunction. | Verify thermostat is set to desired mode and temperature. Check for error codes on the control board (if applicable). For complex issues, contact a qualified technician. |
| Error codes displayed (if applicable) | Specific system fault detected by the control board. | Refer to your specific Rheem HVAC unit's service manual for interpretation of error codes and recommended actions. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified HVAC technician for further diagnosis and repair.
