Our is brand new installed maybe 2 weeks ago and you can't even fill the kitchen sink up without a code 12 and not a lot of hot water. It is NG and has a flex line for gas.
Hi Roger, Thank you for all your video's . We constantly struggle with the error code 10 0n allot of these units as well as a the older naviens. I have done everything from cleaning the burners, blower moters, replacing moter's and boards, snaking the vents, etc. We love to give options, but these options of cleaning vs replacements are creating tension because if we attempt to clean and maintain the system and it doesn't work, and now the customer is on the hook for the repairs. Now we are at the replacement option. We often will give a 50 percent discount of the repair to put towards the replacement. But I am sure your viewers would really benefit from a video of how you would deal with this. Its something we deal as techs, owners, etc. I love seeing how everyone deals with this as it is always a struggle. Love your video's, and you have may all ready covered this . As a business owner I struggle with this and am trying to educate my staff to deal with the same issue. Colin Snider Freeflow Mechanical Ltd Beaumont Alberta Canada
Ive fixed a bunch of these errors by using vinnegar down the exhaust to de scale the sediment trap.. what happens is the trap gets filled with some debris and the unit trips out the pressure switch.. might be your issue.. worth mentioning.
i just rented out a place in mex for cheap and i literally had to install the kitchen and bath sinks plus fix the toilet and i managed to do it thanks to your videos, the guy swears that the water heater works but it doesnt, hopefully this vid will help me out as well, while ive been doing the repairs ive been including my kid so he learns alongside with me lol thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and wish me luck!!
I have a Navien NR 180A NG and it's short cycling, I just replaced the flow sensor and then the flame rod assembly, now no hot water! Also descaled system last month.
My Rinnai tankless is giving a 12 fault code and we are unable to get mild water out of any of the fixtures. It’s either all or nothing. I’ll be checking your other videos in the meantime.
Hi Great video. I did try it and for some reason (I verified 10 times :) plus I am pretty technical in it ) all connection is right and pump is pumping water in but it is not coming out from hot side Anything to check? Waited several minutes Nothing
Mine - the external pressure regulator for the gas line was stuck. Just tapped it with the handle of a screwdriver and the unit then fired up. Ugh. Mounted outside, everything is brand new, was working fine for a week or so. Not sure what would’ve caused this or if it’ll happen again.
Do you have any idea about the error code 441 for the Takagi TK-540p-nih? I have cleaned out filters, checked the recommended sensors. Could it be a venting issue?
My Rinnai electric hot water tank keeps flipping the breaker when taking a shower or doing laundry. What could be causing this is very annoying to have to have someone at the breaker flipping it back on when you’re taking a shower and freezing your butt off.. any ideas why it keeps tripping? I seen the video on cleaning the filter but we’ve never done that. Could that be the problem?
Hi roger my name is matt. The valve on my tankless water heater , for the hot water has a s to the left and o to the rite. My ? Is what way do I turn it to shut the hot water off to the house?
I bought an on-demand propane water heater online and it flashes like it will ignite and then nothing. The manufacturer said I need to adjust the ignition needle but would not even send me a photo showing where to look or how to adjust it. Can you give me some guidance on this task? Send a photo or diagram with the part in question circled and how to adjust it please. These cold showers in a room that is poorly heated in December are not fun. Thank you.
our on demand / tank-less water heater system is messed up. This one has a recalculation pump. It seem we only get hot water when another hot water tap is open than it seems to heat water fine than after a minute the water flow completely shuts off. If I turn the hot water valve off for a minute or so it will turn on with good flow for about a minute than completely shuts off the water flow. Anyone every had this issue, and how did you fix it ? Thanks
You just took the manifold plate off the front of the burner. The face plate comes off the burner and all of the innards will slide out, allowing you to clean it much more thoroughly with an air compressor. If Rinnai saw this video, they would tell you did not clean the burner
I am having problems with my Paloma tank less heater. It’s start with hot water then it goes cold and it start blinking C2 and 11 over and over. I don’t know what’s wrong please help
I keep loosing hot water, and hoped this video might help, but my Rennai set up is much larger and more sophisticated than that little box. The plumber just left, gave me some bs answer that will probably last six months if I keep hitting the reset button. Thanks, I’ll check out your other videos
I have customer who just had a new tankless water heater installed because the old kept shutting off and sending error codes now the new is doing the same thing
I’m having a problem with mine. There is no error code but no hot water. If I go to the unit (it’s mounted on the outside of the house) and open a water line (that looks like just an extra line for outside use)the unit comes on and we have hot water for about 24 hours then I have to go open the line again. Do you know what would cause this?
Buddy Gallo that's strange. What brand is it and have you contacted the manufacturer? Sometimes if the aerators or shower heads get too clogged up there won't be enough water flow to fire the system.
So there wasn't any where else in or around the house that that water heater could have been installed except the attic? Being Texas it does explain a lot though. People in those red states aren't the brightest bulbs in the room. 🤣
Have you ever had this problem? Let us know!
My thermostat won't come on when l press the reset button so I can't even get an error code what is the deal.
Our is brand new installed maybe 2 weeks ago and you can't even fill the kitchen sink up without a code 12 and not a lot of hot water. It is NG and has a flex line for gas.
P Lively try taking the aerator off and see if that helps.
James Pelletier sorry I just saw this. What was the problem?
@@RogerWakefield will try that when I figure where it's at. We have a Rinnai RU199iN

It takes 3 minutes for me to get hot water. Is this common?
What a great day!!! to work in the attic!!! that's funny.

Thank you Roger!
Helpful video! I am having error code 11 from my Rinnai tankless. Not sure if it’s caused by dirt or bad thermocouple. Do you have any ideas?
Did you fix your problem? I had this and I called them.. they walked me through how to fix it.
Thank you bro very very good information very helpful thank you for your time
Very informative thanks

Hot do we fix the fluctuations of cold to hot n continues it thru the whole shower
Hi roger my name is matt. The valve on my tankless water heater , for the hot water has a s to the left and o to the rite. My ? Is what way do I turn it to shut the hot water off to the house?
I have a 2 1/2 gallon but i can't get hotwater from it while running please help thanks
Thank you for taking the time to record. Great info
That model doesn’t have a temperature control device?
I have a R85 that is leaking . The water is coming from the blower motor. Any ideas on where the water is coming from and how to fix. Thanks

Can you explain a low voltage on a tankless water heater and what causes it

Thanks
Have hot water all over the house except my master bathroom. Could you please tell me why.
The spinner spins up and I hear a clicking noise from the igniter but no flames
What makes the tankless water heater make a sound of on and off like maybe there is air in it.
You just took the manifold plate off the front of the burner. The face plate comes off the burner and all of the innards will slide out, allowing you to clean it much more thoroughly with an air compressor.
If Rinnai saw this video, they would tell you did not clean the burner
Ty
Takes forever for my water to heat up. For example... my bathtub was almost full before the hot water finally kicked in. Any suggestions?
Probably need a circulation pump

Did you ever get this figured out?
Rheem tankless hot water heater where is the reset button on it
I have customer who just had a new tankless water heater installed because the old kept shutting off and sending error codes now the new is doing the same thing
I would look at flow restriction
Roger why are u sweating the attic should be cold 😂😂 nah man just kidding.

Thank so much that’s a really good help.
((Muchas gracias))
Tankless are efficient but good God the work it takes to maintain them is asinine.
Great video...HELP! we are totally hooked up...but zero hot water...HELP!
My water heater doesn't work left it outside I think raining got to it now it doesn't work?? What do I do???
ok…. sssoooooooo what is error 12. let’s figure this out
I don’t know about anyone else but I had a hard time hearing what you were saying. Maybe next time don’t add music
These heaters are crap. Even brand new they fail.
Good video but shooting it while driving is totally stupid.
So there wasn't any where else in or around the house that that water heater could have been installed except the attic? Being Texas it does explain a lot though. People in those red states aren't the brightest bulbs in the room. 🤣
