To turn off the heater Shut the gas off and shut the circuit breaker off As far as getting inside I am not sure about that.

Is the thermocouple secure, routed properly, no kinks, no sharp bends? Is the end of the unit properly aligned so the hottest part of the pilot flame is hitting the unit. Did you hold pilot switch in the light position for at least 30 seconds, before you set the gas valve to on? If all above OK, try this. Light the pilot using barbeque lighter once it lights keep the lighter on the t-couple for 30 seconds, then set the valve to ON and keep the lighter where it is. Once the main burner lights, remove the lighter. If the burner and pilot go off, your gas valve is bad.

1) I believe you can immediately elbow the PVC pipe.There is a limit for how many elbows can be used between blower and termination, and limit is determined by diameter of PVC pipe.2) Copy following link for venting resources and typical Rheem and Richmond power vent manuals, and diameter-elbow pdf from Bradford White.http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-troubleshoot-gas-water-heater.html#venting3) Richmond is Rheem. Product manual will show specifications for venting.Product warranty is voided if installation does not follow specifications shown in manual.

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

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.

here are codes.. Personally I would check my paper work from unit to if is covered under warranty.. Good Luck https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/rheem/xe50t12cs45u0/instructions-assembly-english/page-19.html

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.

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.

check flow switch if not activated wont call for heat
