I have a Rheem RHIN-CHL25P The error code 160 keeps coming on. Do you know what the problem is? This is a new unit.

1) You want the truth: Forget tankless.
There are many tankless water heaters with insoluble problems.
And endless problems.
Rheem knows it.

2) Do you really expect your home computer to work flawless after replacing motherboard?
Get your money back from Rheem, or get a full replacement.

3) OR fix water heater yourself today: Install tank-type gas water heater for $350 from local box store.
FYI: Do not buy Rheem, Richmond, Ruud, GE as these units from Rheem have problems that require service technicians.
Instead buy Whirlpool, American, State, Craftmaster, Reliance, Kenmore, as these units from AO Smith have fewer problems and can be repaired by homeowner using simple part replacement.

Rheem, Richmond, Ruud, and Paloma are all the same manufacturer. After about 9 months, my tankless RTG-74PVN started giving me error code 11 and cold water!. I fixed it by cleaning the burner, as shown in this video:

Before calling service technician, open following link for Rheem error codes and troubleshooting resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Error code C2 11 is 'no ignition'
Ensure you have gas to the appliance.
Ensure gas type and pressure are correct.
Bleed all air from gas lines.
Ensure gas line, meter, and regulator are sized properly.
Ensure appliance is properly grounded.
Check gas solenoid valves for open or short circuits.
Ensure igniter is operational.
Check igniter wiring harness for damage.

There is no service bulletin covering how to perform these actions.
Rheem will ask that you call qualified service technician, who can give you tips and tricks for keeping the unit working, including opportunity for yearly service that will eliminate the expected $1-8 monthly savings from owning tankless.
Read manual for yearly maintenance needed to keep unit working at prime efficiency.

that error code means not enough gas.
however, there might be something going on with your venting. it could be sucking exhaust air back into the unit. this will cause the same error code.
if your problem is intermittent, then I would suspect the venting to be the issue.

hi pete here ill try and help this could be 2 things check the sensor on the unit the outher one is a qustion has the gas company changed your meter latley and turned off you gas and not come back to light your poilet because this code also means not enough gas or wrong type of gas

I had the same problem with my Paloma a year and a half after installation...contacted Rheem 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.

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.
