What to do if my Rheem RUUD Iraining compressor will not run?
If the compressor will not run, first turn the unit ON. Then, check the wiring against the diagram and reset the breaker. Verify the voltage. If these steps don't solve the problem, consider replacing the water heater.
What to do if Rheem RUUD Iraining Water Heater unit operates long or continuously?
If the unit operates for a long time or continuously, you should clean or replace the necessary components and clean the heat exchanger coils. Also, determine the reason and correct it.
What to do if Rheem RUUD Iraining Water Heater unit runs but short cycles on?
If the unit runs but short cycles on, check the tank thermistors. If the issue persists, consider replacing the water heater.
