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.
Rheem over heat limiter
The OHL is not for sale due to a couple of reasons. If the heat exchanger has a hot spot it will melt the OHL making it useless. The OHL is just a large fuse. Rheem will completely warranty (if within date range) if the OHL or heat exchanger has problems. Bypassing the OHL is very dangerous and could result in a house fire since the appliance is mounted to a wall. I would suggest scrapping the copper heat exchanger for cash. That about all its worth in the condition its in.
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.

I have a Rheem RHIN-CHL25P The error code 160 keeps coming on. Do you know what the problem is? This is a new unit.
this from Rheem error codes

FAULT = Hot Water Temperature Abnormality
- Press the Power button to clear the Error Code. If Error happens again:
- Ensure water heater inlet and outlets are open and water is supplied to the water heater.

Rheem 27 instant electric hot water heater causes
According to the literature I read, this heater requires a DEDICATED 240 volt, 60 amp service minimum. That means it should have its own circuit breaker with nothing else on that line. Depending on the overall electric service size for the building, the heater is causing an overload when it's on and resulting in a voltage drop that causes the flickering and possibly other issues.You didn't say if this was a residential installation but if it is, most homes have a 100 amp 240 volt service (in the USA). The heater is using most of the home's power. If there are other loads on the service like an electric range or oven, the problem will be worse.If the home is new, it may be equipped with a 240 volt, 200 amp service. If that's the case, the heater should be checkd with an ammeter to be sure it is not over-drawing for some reason like under sized wiring, bad connections or contaminated heating electrodes.
