If you smell gas

Stop: do not reset, relight or check anything on this page. Rinnai’s own words, from the manual’s front warning (page 2) and its operating label (page 68):

  • Do not try to light any appliance.
  • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
  • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
  • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Calling from a neighbor’s phone means leaving the building first. Source: SENSEI Tankless Water Heater (Residential) Installation and Operation Manual, RU199i/e, RU180i/e, RU160i/e, RU130i/e (100000467), section 5.6 Diagnostic Codes, pages 73–75

Rinnai tankless water heater error codes

27 codes from Rinnai. 17 of them are marked for a licensed professional; for the rest the page gives the checks the maker lets an owner do. Tap a code for its meaning:

Tankless gas water heater: do only the owner checks its manual gives for that code — open the gas and water shut-off valves, check a propane tank has gas, clean a filter the way the manual shows you, clear snow or debris from the vent ends outside, turn it off and on at the controller. Leave gas pressure, the burner, the gas valve, wiring and circuit boards alone. Everything else is for a licensed professional — in the manuals’ words, a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If you smell gas, do none of the checks: follow the maker’s gas-smell instructions at the top of the page. Two Rinnai models can use different codes: your model’s manual is the authority.
