(Water will not ow when power returns)
• Turn o all hot water taps. Press ON/OFF twice.
05 By-Pass Flow Control
• Measure resistance values of the by-pass ow control.*
• Replace By-Pass ow control device.

Air Supply or Exhaust Blockage/Condensate Trap
is Full
• Ensure condensate line is not blocked.
• Ensure internal air lter is clean with no obstrucons.
(Indoor Water Heaters Only)
• Ensure High Altude seng. (See Parameter Sengs)
• Ensure Combuson air and Exhaust vents are not blocked
and approved venng materials are being used. (Indoor
Water Heaters Only)

• Ensure ame rod wire is connected.
• Ensure gas type and inlet gas pressure is correct.
• Bleed all air from gas lines.
14
Heat Exchanger Overheat
• Measure resistance of Overheat Switch.*
• Check heat exchanger surface for hot spots which indicate
blockage due to scale build-up.
• Refer to instrucons in manual for ushing heat exchanger.
Hard water must be treated to prevent scale build up or
damage to the heat exchanger.
• Ensure it is not in forced Hi seng.
15
Venturi Control
• Ensure the Venturi motor is operang correctly.*
• Replace gas valve assembly.
• Clear diagnosc code by reseng the main power supply to
the water heater.
16
High Outgoing Temperature
(safety shutdown because water heater is too hot)
• Conrm fan motor is funconing correctly.
• Replace the gas valve assembly.
17
Venturi Blockage
• First, follow the recommended soluons for Diagnosc Code
10.
• If the Code 10 soluons do not correct the problem, ensure
the Venturi is not blocked.
• Please call Rinnai technical department.
