You will need to have heat in the room to thaw pipes . Cold will come in from flue pipe and freeze pipes . its a slow thaw so pipes don't split .

SOURCE: No water flow from hot water tap with a rinnai tankless water hea

Its A Possibility The Left Over Water In The Hot Is Frozen. If Your Line Is Exposed Outside Somewhere It Can Easily Freeze Up. Turn On The Hot Water Everywhere In The House And If Accessible Check The Lines To See Where The Warmth Ends. You Can Leave One Off Over Night In Hopes That It Will Eventually Defrost.

SOURCE: Tankless Water Heater - Frozen???

I had them same problem with my AquaStar 125 back in 2005......it hasn't been that could around here since then until last night and it froze up again. The problem is the negative draft. This can be solved with the Power Vent Module and the AQ1 flapper....at least with the 125. It prevents the back drafts.

SOURCE: No hot water

The code # 11 is a code that warns of "no ignition" and the causes of this error code are too many to list. I would suggest that a qualified tech. perform a diagnostic test and repair.

This is not a task for the "do it yourselfer"

SOURCE: My Rinnai tankless water heater cycles up and down

You need to first make sure is the tankless who do the “up and down”! . If the problem manifest on more then one faucet then the problem is the unit. Have a thermometer (we use a infrared gun wich we train on Hot water pipe !) and see if actually the unit is the culprit.
If the problem is only on one shower It is possible also to be a “antyscalding valve” If the trigger valve on your shower is being adjusted too low then it trigger a splash of cold water now and then on regulate intervals. Try to adjust the temperature lower at the unit (say 110F ) and see if the problem change. If it does, then the problem is for sure in the faucet. If it does not change , then you have a problem with the water flow sensor . It is simply getting stuck. Bad bearing or even a piece of Teflon tape. I believe you will need a certified technician for that so no issues with your warranty will appear.

Can i use the pipe ihad for my 40 gallon hot water heater

If you had a tank-type heater, and installed tankless, then you cannot use the same gas line pipe. You must have 1" gas line running to within 10' of tankless unit, and then 3/4" to tankless... and you cannot use flexible gas line.
You can use same hot and cold water pipes, but install service valves so you can delime the heat exchanger each year.

R85 tankless water heater

Probably frozen. Let it thaw out and see if it works. You may want to think about wrapping the pipes with heat tape because of those low tempertures they could break especially if the unit is outside.

Good luck,

Rinnai Trouble Shooting

Clean water filter.
Delime heat exchanger.

Add tempering tank to preheat cold incoming water.

Check for bad single-handled faucet cartridges.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Crossover.html
Don't install multi-sensor computer-chip water heater to water lines and gas line and vent pipe since tankless will develop unsolvable problems.
Contact Rinnai and hear them tell you to call service technician, only to discover there are no qualified service technicians in your area who might be able to solve problem. 1-800-621-9419
Ask why the Rainnai site has much promotional information and no service manuals. Nor does Rinnai offer forum where tankless owners can freely exchange their endless unsolvable problems for all to see.

Rinnai Infinity 26 hot water system set to 55 degrees with remote temp adjuster. Water only luke warm for showers. Burnner working, water & gas pressure ok. Any thoughts ... Stephen

If you aren't getting any error codes, then the heater is probably doing its job. Your problem is probably somewhere in your plumbing system. The most common reason you get this sort of problem is due to cold water mixing in the hot water system. There are a number of causes for a "cross connection" :

-Faulty check valve
-Missing check valve on reciculation return line
-Faulty shower cartridge
-Thermostatic mixing valve set too low
-Faulty thermostatic mixing valve
-Faulty anti-scald valve

The easiest way to confirm a cross connection is to: 1) shutoff the cold water entering the tankless heater 2) open hot water valves around the house. If you still have water flowing at your hot water fixtures, then you have a cross connection.

I have a Rinnai tankless. The temperature fluctuates wildly

I think the dip tube in your water heater has failed, this is a plastic tube that goes in the cold side of your tank and forces incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank allowing hot water out at the top. When this tube deteiorates the incoming cold water mixes at the top of the tank causing the problem you have. the dip tube runs about 5 bucks but takes someone with pluming skills to install.
