Rheem Richmond 40 Gal Nat Gas 6 Year Power Direct Vent Water Heater Questions & Answers
Richmond 40 gal water heater from 2003 gurgles loudly when refilling, is that normal
I'm not sure what you mean by "gurgles when refilling." If you mean that it is making noise when heating the water, that is usually a sign that sediment has built up in the bottom of the tank. This results in the surface of the tank bottom to overheat and the sound you hear is the water flashing to steam. This usually results in tank failure as the glass lining will crack an the tank will rust out. If it's not too late you could drain and flush the tank to try to remove the sediment but if has hardened to a solid mass it won't come out.
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 furnace error code 68 fix?
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.
Rheem Failed Ignition lockout
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.
My new Rheem 27 tankless hot water system is not hot
if system is new call whomever installed it and it repaired under warranty. there are several reasons unit is not producing hot water. First thing I would check is temp setting. Again call for service under warranty.
