SOURCE: No hot water from tankless water heater. Bliniking Readout

http://www.rheemtankless.com/content/tankless/rheem/help.shtml

This is there website.Above.
Use the live chat to ask them, the code you listed does not seem to correspond to there code list, the only code that does is code 76,
which is a problem with the remote control not talking to the unit.
So your best bet is to tell them the error.

SOURCE: Paloma PTG 74PVN Tankless Water Heater

did you check the filters on the the water valves, i am not exactly sure about your codes that are shoeing but if you could read it and post them, i know on some of the units 76 means there is low water pressure and the filters are behind 2 caps one on each side above the shut off valve take off the caps and remove the screens, clean them and replace them ,, make sure you turn off the water on both side first or you will get wet

SOURCE: Did anyone ever find out what the C7 76 Error code is?

76 error code is faulty wireing to the controller or the controller is bad , if that is not it. it means the printed circuit board need to be replaced

SOURCE: Paloma tankless, gas, water heater, error code C7 76

If you look on the left hand side of the burner control module you'll see 4 capacitors - the capacitors have most likely failed...pretty sure anything code 76 is P/S failure. It may also be covered for manufactures defects. If the cap is blown..the top will be slightly raised as apposed to flat like the other nearby caps - they are called top blow capacitors...the damage should be evident.

SOURCE: I get a P1 error code

Water inlet temperature to the heater is the same as preset on the controller.
I had this happen to me becouse I have a solar tank with temp of
135 farenheit.
Once I bypassed the sollar tank..no problem

C7 error code what is the problem

Copy following link for Rheem/Richmond/ Ecosense tankless computer troubleshoot and error code resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
C7 might mean tankless computer motherboard has gone bad
If tankless is older than 5 years, then cut losses and replace with tank-type heater so there is less maintenance and repair expense, and homeowner or local plumber can make repairs without calling tankless computer technician:

4 error message, the 4th (last) error code is #13, not enough oxygen.

Check the location of the heater, if it is fine the ODS sensor (actually is a thermal couple) is bad.
