The igniter may not be receiving the call for heat, im not familiar with these setups, but if there is sensor or a heating element they could have gone bad.

No spark Bosch tankless GWH 1600 H NG

On a 1600H for god sakes give the Tech the S/N and the color code on the wiring at the flow sensor that starts the hydro sparker. They changed the thing in Mfr and there are 2 different parts. And also rebuild the water valve occasionally like every 3 years as Bosch recommends even if the cover which guides the pushrod is expensive. FYI we now usually buy a new WV as it\'s more reliable than rebuilding and you get all new parts. It\'s like $125 for a WV vs $59-71 for just the WV cover. Also never run these on very hard water fro a long time or you\'ll never descale em without Whitlam and a long wash out.

I have a Bosch Tankless Water HEater Model GWH 2700 ES NG with an error code of A3. I was told to push reset and the problem would be resolved. This worked several times and now it doesn't work. ...

Yes. Contact Bosch.
Error codes are considered start-point for troubleshoot.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html

Tankless are complex electronic machines.
If on-site plumbers cannot figure out problem, then you need trained service technician with a service manual for your specific product, who can ohm-test the electronics.
Bosch will have a list of trained service technicians. And maybe Bosch has another step for fixing problem yourself.

Fix most tankless problems yourself, same day, for $330.

I have a Bosch GWH 2700 CTDR EFS NG and the water will not get hot and if it does, it's only for a brief moment.

A lot of factors, internal and external, can cause this problem ranging from bad PC board to plumbing problem.

Since you have no error code, it could be plumbing,

Bosch tankless GWH 1600 H NG won't always ignite. The igniter sparks, but doesn't always light the gas. It just clicks. When installed it lit every time, now it takes more and more tries to get it to...

The manual says to hold a match near the pilot while the ignitor is trying. It says that if the unit lights the pilot orifice may be dirty or clogged. Then the manual says to check the voltage on the igniter. It should be 1.3 volts DC minimum if it is not means the electronic control box is defective.

Let me know the status ...Kevin
