SOURCE: tankless water heater error code 11

I was having the same problem untill I reallized it was my venting system. Test the water heater with no vent on top. Disconnect the vent pipe from the water heater and try turning on the hot water. the water heater needs a special adapter to vent the direct vent water heater. One other thing you can check is the gas pressure in your home. You have to have between 7 and 8 WC (water Column) for the tankless water heaters. You can call your gas supplier to find out what you have.

SOURCE: Tankless water heater (Paloma) Has C2 11 error

I had this problem with the C2 11 error code. My unit is 1.5 years old. I called Paloma and they emailed me an 11 page document to clean the burners. I am not an HVAC but I got the feeling that's who the instructions were for. Very difficult but you can do it if you're handy. You basically take apart 1/2 the unit, be carfull not to lose any screws and label all the little brackets that come off. It took me 2-3 hours to get to the burners. I used a can of air (for keyboards-electronics) to blow on the burners and clear any build up. After putting it back together (carefull to make sure the 3 gas tubes make a seal when re-installed) the unit works. I did this today so I'm not sure the unit will still work in a week/month. I am dreading having to do this every year to keep the unit running.

SOURCE: My Paloma tankless water heater flashes C2 11 error code

I just had the same problem and I fixed it in about an hour or 2. First shut off the gas,water and power(unplug it) Take off the cover There are about 20 screws above the electrical circuit board. You have to remove all of those screws to remove plate that is covering the burner assembly. The burner assembly has these 3 pins that look like number 7's these are covered with build up and gas can't flow right. That's why you get the c211 error not enough gas. Take a wire brush and gently remove any build up, I also cleaned the thermocoupler which is next to the burners. It looks like a metal pin with a couple of wires coming out of it this was also very dirty. I took a can of air and basically freshened it up It works perfect now. Email me with any Q's at [email protected] Good Luck All that you need is a long phillips screw drive and a drill because its about 25 screws
The burner assembly has 2 screws all the in back underneath the assembly once you remove those 2 the assembly comes out . You don't have to disconnect any wires.

SOURCE: Paloma tankless, gas, water heater, error code C7 76

If you look on the left hand side of the burner control module you'll see 4 capacitors - the capacitors have most likely failed...pretty sure anything code 76 is P/S failure. It may also be covered for manufactures defects. If the cap is blown..the top will be slightly raised as apposed to flat like the other nearby caps - they are called top blow capacitors...the damage should be evident.

SOURCE: richman gas lp tankless hot water heater. used for

I had the same problem with my Paloma a year and a half after installation...contacted Rheem\Paloma\Richman customer service (800-432-8373) and they recommened a local installer in my area. The technican diagnosed the problem as the "flow control valve"; he managed to get Rheem/Paloma to cover the part under warranty...I only had to shell out the money for the install.

My Jacuzzi J-N180F tankless water heater will not even light.

Access your product manual.
I cannot find a product manual.
Some major company, like Rheem, makes this computer that heats water.

Call service technician to repair the unit.
Copy following link for overview of type of problems found with tankless computers.
For example tankless computers require continual maintenance on yearly and monthly basis to prolong expected life of product.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

If tankless computer is older than 5 years, then assume it is like your 5-year old laptop computer.

Save problems, and repair the unit yourself, same day, by installing tank-type water heater:

I have a Richmond tankless water heater and it has L1 error code...can somebody help me with this?

Might be able to help. Except L1 does not show on any error code file.
Copy following link for Rheem Richmond Ecosense etc computer water heater troubleshoot resources
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
Are you sure the error is not IL? Delime tankless.
Or UL flashes and indicates reset.
Or CL flashes and indicates fault history is cleared.
Or error 11 combustion failure? Call for service.
Or P1? Low water pressure, clean water filter check for leaks and crossover caused by bad single-handled faucet cartridge.
I recommend calling Rheem to find local technician who is qualified to work on tankless computers. Tankless are not ordinary water heaters, and they require continual maintenance to avoid common error codes, especially as unit gets 2-3 years old, after warranty has expired.
The required maintenance and expense of repairs, and general fact that people cannot make their own repairs, make tankless computers a bad choice for heating water.
If unit is 4-5 years old, it might be best to install tank-type heater for $385 from Lowes and cut losses.

Manual

Copy following link for Rheem tankless troubleshoot resources, including error codes, manuals, and general information for maintaining your tankless computer that heats water.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
Multiple error codes can indicate failed PC board. Rheem will send PC board... so your computer-that-heats-water might have failed motherboard.
Continual maintenance can help avoid common error codes, but some problems are insoluble and chronic.

Jacuzzi tankless water heater code 12 appears

For my Jacuzzi tankless water heater model #J-SN180F: It turned out to be an exhaust issue. If I take off the exhaust vent completely then the talks heater works with 3 baths at full hot water. I get the error code 12 again as soon as I put event an elbow of the vent. So my conclusion is I need some sort of straight vent.

Error c4-15 what does that mean

Before calling service technician, copy following link for troubleshoot resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

C4 can range from failed PC Board to lime build-up inside heat exchanger
Error 15 is 'heat exchanger is too hot', clogged heat exchanger, restriction in cold water inlet, temperature set point too high.
If you recently changed temperature setting, then that might be cause.
Tankless require monthy-to-yearly maintenance to avoid common error codes.
Delime tankless and clean water filter, keep temperature low.
Never install tankless water heater is best way to avoid complications of expensive water heater that is maintenance heavy, hard to diagnose, expensive to fix, etc.
Never expose tankless to more than 11 grains hard water.
