SAVE A SERVICE CALL
Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or
fault, which is not related to manufacture or failure of a part (refer to “Terms of the Rheem Warranty” on
page 35).
COLD WATER FROM THE HOT TAP
Close the hot tap, wait 10 seconds and open the hot tap again.
Is the hot tap open enough?
The burners will not light if the flow rate is less than 2.0 L / min.
Is the water heater plugged in and the power outlet switched on?
Is power available in the house?
Try using another electrical appliance.
Is the isolation valve in the gas line open?
Is there a gas supply to the rest of the house?
Try lighting another gas appliance.
Has the gas line been purged of air after installation?
Refer to your plumber.
NO WATER FROM THE HOT TAP
No flow of water from the hot tap may indicate a restriction in or failure of the cold water supply to the water
heater. Check for water flow at other taps and that the cold water isolation valve (refer to page 23) is fully
open.
WATER FLOW FLUCTUATES
More than two or three taps in use at the same time may cause a decrease in the hot water flow from the
taps.
Are there more than two or three taps open, or are appliances such as a dishwasher or washing
machine, in use at the same time?
Ensure only two or three taps or appliances are on at the one time.
Check the flow of the water from one tap, e.g., the shower.
The shower should be adjusted so the hot tap is fully open.
Water heater size
Do you have the correct size water heater for your requirements? The sizing guide in the sales literature
and on the Rheem website (www.rheem.com.au) suggests average sizes that may be needed.
FAN CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER WATER HEATER OPERATION STOPS
It is the normal operation of the water heater for the fan to continue running after heating of the water is
finished. The fan may run for up to six minutes after the burners extinguish, to prepare for the next ignition.
