TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

CORRECTIVE ACTION

NO HOT WATER

1.  No power to the water heater (power 

button not lit) 

2.  Unit in standby (power button RED) 

3.  Unit in Vacation mode 

4.  High temperature limit switch open 

5.  Hot water usage pattern exceeds the 

capability of the water heater in  

current mode

6. 

Non-functioning upper temperature 

sensor

1.  Check for blown fuse or tripped breaker. 

Restore power to unit then press power button. 

2.  Press the power button to turn the unit on 

(power button GREEN)

3.  Press Vacation Mode Button to exit Vacation 

mode and return to desired operating mode.

4.  Reset the high temperature limit switch; see 

“Safety shut-off” section for more information

5.  Change to different mode or modify usage 

patterns 

6. 

Contact a qualified person for service

INSUFFICIENT HOT WATER/ 

SLOW HOT WATER 

RECOVERY

1.  Temperature set-point too low 

2.  Air filter dirty

3.  Hot water usage pattern exceeds the 

capability of the water heater in  

current mode

4.  Water connections to unit reversed 

5.  Heat lost through long run of exposed 

pipe

6. 

Hot water leak at faucet or piping

7.  Non-functioning heating element

8.  Sediment or scale build up in tank

1.  Increase set point temperature; see “Adjusting 

the User Interface Module” section

2.  Clean air filter

3.  Change to different mode or modify usage 

patterns (For example if in Efficiency Mode 

switch to Hybrid Mode)

4.  Ensure the cold connection is at the bottom 

and that the hot connection is at the top

5.  Insulate exposed piping 

6. 

Repair hot water leaks

7.  Call qualified person for service

8.  Drain and flush tank.  Water conditioning may 

be necessary to minimize build up

HIGH OPERATION COSTS

1.  Temperature set-point too high 

2.  Air filter dirty

3.  Electric mode selected 

4.  Water connections to unit reversed 

5.  Heat lost thru long run of exposed 

pipe

6. 

Hot water leak at faucet or piping

7.  Sediment or scale build up in tank

1.  Decrease set point temperature; see “Adjusting 

the User Interface Module”

2.  Clean air filter

3.  Change to Efficiency or Hybrid mode for re-

duced energy costs

4.  Ensure the cold connection is at the bottom 

and that the hot connection is at the top

5.  Insulate exposed piping 

6. 

Repair hot water leaks

7.  Drain and flush tank.  Water conditioning may 

be required to minimze build up

DRIP FROM TEMPERATURE & 

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE 

(Warning: Do not plug or cap 

T&P discharge pipe.)

1.  Excessive water pressure

2.  Add or service a thermal expansion 

tank.

3.  Non-functioning Temperature &  

Pressure Relief Valve

1.  Check water supply inlet pressure. If higher than 

80 PSIG, install a  pressure reducing valve (50-

60 PSIG is the recommended pressure.)

2.  See “Closed System/Thermal Expansion” section 

3.  Replace the Temperature & PressureRelief 

Valve

OTHER

1.  The water heater does not  

immediately start 

2.  The heat pump does not run in  

Efficiency mode.

1.  When first started the water heater takes about 8 

minutes to complete a diagnostic routine

2.  Contact a qualified person for service

NOTE:

 The diagnostic codes listed above are the most common. If a diagnostic code not listed above is displayed, 

contact Residential Technical Assistance referencing the number on the front of this manual.

ELECTRONIC

POWER ANODE

ERROR #0-9

(# CAN BE 0-9)

1.  Indicates the power anode is 

not operating properly

1.  Contact a qualified person to service the unit.
