Problem for Rinnai RHFE-1004FA 38,400 BTU Energy Saver Ductless Heater...
Rinnai 551FT (I couldnt see it on list!)
I just moved into a rental house with a Rinnai Energy Saver 551FT. I have never used a gas heater before - but this one looked pretty straight forward - slide the thermostat thing to the temp I want to maintain the space at and push on.
However - it turns itself off again after ten to 20 minutes, no matter where I set the temp, and it stays off. I have to push off and on again to turn back on.
At the bottom right corner of the front there is a little door inside of which it says water level - am I supposed to put water in somehow?
I couldnt find the manual online, and the real estate agents dont know.
As i dont know anything about gas heaters (I just moved to a place cold enough to need them) I dont want to experiment without information!
Thanks

Same Problem

- When I switch the heater on , it ignites & the red light goes on - several seconds later the air comes out but within seconds the heater switches off.- pruiz318Dec 02, 2008
- I have this kind of heater too and am in a similar situation.. Unhelpful agent and no instruction manual. I downloaded the manual that was suggested and it helped.. My problem is that the burner light never comes on and the heater always just turns itself off before even lighting. I think i'll have to call for a service unless anyone else has a suggestion. - GuestJul 11, 2008
- I have exactly the same problem, with the same model, but sometimes even turning on and off again doesn't work. Also in a rental with equally unhelpful agents.... Not sure where the fiter is though? Can't see anywhere logical on this model. some further advice would be great! - GuestBest Solution

Try vacuum cleaning the filter as the heater shuts down to protect itself from over-temperature. NB-turn off the heater before doing it. And yes, you add water to the tray (...carefully) - this increases the apparent heat. Peter
