The list below covers what we find on most visits for tankless water heater repair in Orting, WA, from ignition codes to drips under the cabinet.
Code 11, E003 or 111
No ignition usually means gas pressure, a worn igniter, a dirty flame rod or a blocked vent. Each is tested.
Water under the unit
Water below a tankless can be a valve, a fitting, condensate or a failed exchanger. The source decides the cost.
Venting fault
Venting codes mean the unit can't breathe: a blocked termination, a nest, snow or a vent run that's too long.
Error code keeps coming back
A reset only clears the symptom. Repeated ignition or exhaust codes need a visit.
Hot, then cold, then hot
A short cold burst after the tap reopens is normal start-up. Swings during one shower point to low flow, scale or a failing flow sensor.
Not as hot as it used to be
Scale on the heat exchanger, a weak gas supply or a thermistor reading wrong.

How long does a tankless water heater last?

Why does my tankless water heater go hot then cold?
A second or two of cold after the tap reopens is normal start-up. If the water swings while it runs, look at low flow, scale or the flow sensor.
Why is my tankless water heater not turning on?
Check for power at the outlet and that the gas valve is open. Beyond that it is usually low flow, a clogged inlet filter, a failed flow sensor or an ignition fault.
