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.

there is pressure adjustment, just temp. water pressure in + water pressure out

I don't know for sure but look at page 117.... http://snowcrest.net/thriftysupply/pdf/RTG-Service-Manual-REV-2.pdf

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.

3. If Error happens again:
4. Ensure water heater inlet and outlets are open and water is supplied to the water heater.
5. Check the pump operation.
6. If it doesn't work, ensure wiring connections to pump.
7. If even supply power to pump and doesn't run it, replace the pump.
8. If Error happens again:
9. Verify recirculation loop length is within specification. Air purge is not enough.
10. Too much restriction on recirculation loop.
11. Return loops are clogged.
12. Check the recirculation loop condition.

If water is leaking from a pipe. then replace or repair the pipe or fitting. If the leak is coming from the unit itself, then replace the unit. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes.Default temperature will be 120 degrees FOf course the tankless still needs to be plugged into a wall outlet.Copy following link:http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html#remote If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

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.

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 ..

the gas valve can be replaced, but you will have to pay for installation. this is not a DIY. You can throw money and parts at it. Personally I've replaced my water heater at the first sign of problems. Are they inexpensive no If you furnish model number I can look further.
