This doesn't always work, but on the Rheemtankless Gas/Propane water heater, if you're experiencing a code 76 error; disconnect the remote control unit (either from the water heater or the remote) by lifting the wires for the remote connection. Typically you'll get a C1-C8 error code, followed by a code 76; if you're getting a straight code 76 and nothing else, this procedure probably won't work. Code 76 is a total power supply failure on the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, which is the communication/power supply for the remote control unit. But, if you're getting a supplemental code (C1-C8) this procedure will most likely supply you with hot water until the replacement PCB arrives.
Richland tankless is made by Rheem. C7-76 is communication fault with remote. Turn off power at remote and wait 5 minutes, turn power back on at remote, and see if problem clears. If problem continues, read below:
Tankless water heater, more than any other type of heater, need to be maintained. Maintaining tankless will probably not affect C7 76 fault code, but can prevent many other common error codes. http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Tankless-maintenance.pdf
Read manual cover to cover, make sure tankless receives yearly maintenance as outline in manual.

Remove power source from the unit. If remote controlis installed; remove cover and lift the control wires on the terminal...can be accomplished from either end.
Restore power and see if unit functions normally.
Contact Paloma/Rheem customer (800-432-8373) support and notify them IF you are getting a code "76" error. Rheem has recently extended the warranty on the "Burner Control Assm."; which is your problem. The C4-C8 portion of the error code, is where the unit stops the ignition process...burner fails to light, or gives you intermittent hot water. In either case, contact customer support.
If this helps, please indicate so. Mike//jzklipper
How old is your unit...if less than 5 years old tell Polam/Rheem customer support you are recieving a code 76 error - this is a loss of communication between the remote and the burner control assembly. Part will be covered under MF defect warranty. However, the part is covered....the labor to install is not. If you are slightly technical you can install the part yourself...customer support will walk you through the process and they give you a step-by-step procedure to follow.
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.
