This problem can be one of two things:

1) Bad igniter.

2) Control board not sending 120 volts to igniter.

You will need a multimeter to verify if the igniter is receiving 120 volts.

Open the two side panels. The filter is at the bottom held down with a wire spring. Release the spring and the filter can be removed.

SOURCE: my rheem quiet 80

I have a Rheem Classic 80 furnace that would ignite but not stay lit. Cleaned the ignition sensor which was easy to get to and the flame sensor which was under the burner plate and it fired up and stayed lit. The flame sensor was about 6" under the burner plate. Easy to get out, but tough to get back in. Used the old piece of paper shim trick to get the screw to "stick" in the socket and it was much easier to position the screw and get it back where it belonged.

My rheem furnace is running but isn't lit.

Not sure but its possible your thermo coupler is shot and needs replacing. If you have a pilot light it could be out but the furnace should not start if the pilot is out as there should be no oower getting to the controls unless the pilot is trying to let it start. A bad thermocoupler will not let the flame start.

RHEEM CLASSIC QUIET 80 HEATER MODEL RGLN-07EAMER AUTO INGITER WORKS BUT BURNER WILL LIGHT AND GO OUT 2 SECONDS AFTER LIGHTING. WHAT SHOULD I TRY?

Hello, check the flame sensor, this is a metal rod on the opposite side of the igniter. Turn off power to the furnace remove flame sensor and clean it up with some steel wool, then reinstall and turn power back on to the furnace.

The blower fan comes on several minutes before the

Bad fan switch. It may also be called a fan limit switch. If your furnace is less than 5 years old, the switch is part of the circuit board and you will need to replace the board.

Sounds like it could be a dirty or bad flame sensor.
When the burner lights ,there is a flame sensor in the flame and it is suppose to sense the flame and send a signal back to the control board which will keep the gas valve open, if it gets dirty or is bad it doesn't send the signal back to the board and the board will shut the gas valve off and after three tries it will lock out the furnace and you have to reset it to get it to work again.
The flame sensor looks like a wire and it's in the flame usually it will get gas deposits on it, then it won't work.
You can clean this sensor with an extra fine piece of steel wool, but before you attempt to do this DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE FURNACE.
