Rheem 42VP50FW won't light? Ignitor lights though

The three most common reasons for this happening to you are 1) a defective gas valve, 2) a rusty thermopile, and/or 3) the automatic shut-off not working as it should. So, the most common reason for many people having this problem stems from having a gas valve that is not working as it should. When your gas control valve is faulty, it will mean that your burner is not going to be igniting as it should-or at all. Something that worked for me one time was to turn the Temp all the way down then all the way to Max a couple of times..gradually. Why it worked I don't know. Got a couple more years out of it though. Good luck! Best to you.

On a Rheem A/C the outside fan runs a few minutes then shuts off?

Question edited for clarity and spelling of 'capacitor'.. Question moved from Televisions to Rheem A/C. When a start/run capacitor fails, the fan doesn't turn at all, it will just hum. Try a full reset of the system. Disconnect the power at the breaker for at LEAST 2 hours, or preferably overnight. It resets the logic board and resets all the relays. If that doesn't work, you need an A/C Service Technician.

Rheem furnace error code 68 fix?

Hi, From what I'm seeing this means that there is a bad part within your furnace and it needs to be replaced. It might be the thermostat. You might need to reach out to a local HVAC company to diagnose the issue in person. Thank you.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY WATER HEATER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE OF WE ARE 7000FT IN ELEVATION AND APPARENTLY HEATER WAS SET TO SEA LEVEL.

Question moved from Kitchen Ranges. You need a High Altitude Conversion Kit from the maker. Then you need a gas registered technician to fit them and adjust. Standard altitude is up to 2,000 feet above sea level, https://www.google.com/search?q=gas+water+heater+setting+for+altitude+above+sea+level ..
