The water from the hot water faucet 

is cold or turns cold and stays cold.

 

Is the hot water faucet open wide enough 

draw at least 0.5 gallons of water per minute 

(GPM) through the boiler?

 

Is an error code displayed on the front panel?

If an error code is displayed, refer to  

“5.2 Understanding Error Codes on page 21.

The water from the hot water faucet 

is not hot enough.

Is the set temperature too low?
