Contact Rheem; the Burner control unit has lost comm with the remote...the part is warranteed for up to five years.

  • Anonymous Nov 11, 2009

    Remove power source from the unit. If remote control is installed; remove cover and lift the control wires on the terminal...can be accomplished from either end.

    Restore power and see if unit functions normally.

    Contact Paloma/Rheem customer (800-432-8373) support and notify them IF you are getting a code "76" error. Rheem has recently extended the warranty on the "Burner Control Assm."; which is your problem. The C4-C8 portion of the error code, is where the unit stops the ignition process...burner fails to light, or gives you intermittent hot water. In either case, contact customer support.

    If this helps, please indicate so.

I have a Rheem rtg-74pvn-2 tankless water heater installed in 03/09. Intermittently the hot water stops when only the hot water tap is on. No error codes appear. Bill W.

Before calling service technician, open following links for resources including Rheem chat and possible manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/No-Error-Code.pdf
http://waterheatertimer.org/Crossover.html

Typical tankless manual says to have yearly service which includes checking household plumbing, gas supply, vent and condensation, check sensors for loose wires, clean and inspect burner parts and ignition factors etc.

My tankless indoor water heater has an error code C4 76

Error code 76 indicates a communication error with the electronic board and the unit. Call Paloma/Rheem with the serial number and model number of your unit and they will, in most cases, send you a new board with instructions on how to easily replace the board.

Hi, I have a Rheem RTG-74PVN-2 tankless hot water heater. It has run great for about a year, but now shuts off completely after running for approx. 8-10 minutes. I have the water temp set at 130 f. Any...

Remove power source from the unit. If remote control is installed; remove cover and lift the control wires on the terminal...can be accomplished from either end. See if the unit runs longer.
If you're receiving any error codes, especialy code 76; contact RHeem customer support at (800-432-8373) and notify them IF you are getting a code "76" error.

Good luck,

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.
