SOURCE: the water heater will cycle 5-6-7 times with no

there is a screen around the bottom of the unit? if so take it off and clean it,, does this unit have a self ignitor, or is it piliot? make sure your flue is clear so the unit is not over heating,, make sure on the power vent that the filter is clear also,, does the fan come on before the gas ignites, if not the circuit board is going bad the fan should start first to omit the gas fumes

SOURCE: Rheem water heater turns off by its self

Flashing code 76 is lost communication between the remote and the burner control assembly CCA (circuit card assembly). The CCA is still under warranty if purchased within the last 3 yrs. Contact Rheem customer service and have your Mod. and S/N available....explain to the agent you are recieving - flashing code 76...they'll walk you through the process.

"Pres sw open" means there is insufficient air flow. either the vent if blocked, or the blower turns too slow/ or died.

I am getting a C2 11 problem error on my Rheem tankless water heater, What that mean?

Just how much did you investigate this on the internet before asking here? I Googled " Rheem C2 tankless water heater" and found http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html. Look under Error Codes. Code 11 refer to gas supply/ignition. If you don't know much about tankles water heaters or gas ignition, call a Rheem Tech.

Can I replace the igniter on my rheem water heater RHLP

1) Rheem does not post service manuals for their brands of tankless, or tank-type water heater:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
Replace the thing:
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-gas-water-heater.html#install

2) Probably you can call Rheem and give model and serial number and they will send part.
However, based on responses at fixya, Rheem most likely will not send instructions.
Rheem does not want customers repairing gas appliances.

3) Go to Bosch website, and track down their service bulletins for possible assistance

Rheem model 41vrp40n flashes twice and stops working

Error code means that you have electronic gas control valve.

Copy following link to identify gas control valve, read error code meanings for each, and download service manual relevant to each gas control, but not specifically Rheem since rheem does not post service manuals.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-troubleshoot-gas-water-heater.html#intellivent

The fact that water heater restarts, means that water heater is getting gas, getting sufficient air for combustion, thermister is ok, gas pressure is good, etc.
The fact that you unplug and replug water heater and it works, shows that you have power vent model.
Since water heater worked correctly before, 2 flashes with Rheem power vent model could mean that pressure switch has failed.

Rheem warrior glass serial num r0296b08705 model

You need to first determine if the burners light or not.

As long as the unit wasn't run with a dry tank the unit should not have been affected by continuous water running, unless it got hot enough to damage the thermocoupler which is an easy replacement. That is the part that your pilot/ignitor warms so that the gas valve will open the gas line to the burners.

Our Richmond Tankless is showing a reading of a C2 error code. How do we fix this. Why is it doing this?

Before calling service technician, open following link for Richmond/Rheem troubleshoot resources including Rheem chat.

Error codes are considered start place for troubleshooting.
C2 11 is 'No ignition' or 'Gas is inadequate' or 'Ignition failure'
