No hot water out of a rtg-74pvp-1 tankless water heater

When I turn on the water I get no hot water and the remote flashes c5 and c7 followed by flashing 12. I cleaned the filter, turned the remote off and back on again and I had hot water. What's going on with the water heater?

C4 76 error code on richland waterheater

Richland tankless is made by Rheem.
C7-76 is communication fault with remote.
Turn off power at remote and wait 5 minutes, turn power back on at remote, and see if problem clears.
If problem continues, read below:

Before calling service technician, open following links for troubleshoot resources including error codes, Rheem chat, typical maintenance manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Rheem-error-code-C7-76.pdf
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Tankless water heater, more than any other type of heater, need to be maintained.
Maintaining tankless will probably not affect C7 76 fault code, but can prevent many other common error codes.

Thermostat model UMC 117 keeps coding C7 why?

Generally, C7 is communication problem with remote
Error codes are considered start point for troubleshoot.
Causes can be: Bad remote, bad wire to remote, loose wire connection at remote, loose wire connection at unit, bad PC board.
In no particular order:
Check wire connections.
Disconnect remote and let water heater control temperature at default 120 degrees F, and if no further problem develops, then that might eliminate PC board as source of problem.
Replace wire to remote.
Replace remote.
Call service technician to diagnose problem.
Contact Rheem about PC board and other options.
