Rinnai RHFE-1004FA 38,400 BTU Energy Saver Ductless Heater - LP Gas
Problem for Rinnai RHFE-1004FA 38,400 BTU Energy Saver Ductless Heater...

Rinnai Energysaver 1001FT, ignites, blows 5mins then shuts down.

Our Rinnai ran perfectly last season but this season just last week it started turning off after it had been on for about 5mins. We have found it does it less if we have it on real low but need to fix it as low heating just doesn't cut it in -2degree nights with little ones in the house. Anyone please help so we can keep these children warm?

Sounds like it is reaching high limit...either the filters on the back are plugged, or the manifold pressure isn't adjusted properly. IF the exhaust were plugged on the unit, it wouldn't fire at all, since it has a pressure switch to verify vent flow. The slightest blockage, the unit will lock out to prevent damage to the unit.
