How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF power before adjusting any internal switches.

  • 1. Verify DIP switches: Remove the front cover and locate the DIP switches on the Noritz control board. Compare their positions to the installation manual for your specific boiler model and gas type.
  • 2. Correct settings: If any switches are set incorrectly (e.g., wrong altitude or gas type), set them to the proper positions.
  • 3. Power cycle: Restore power and see if the error clears.
  • 4. Board compatibility: If a control board was recently replaced, confirm with the installer that the correct Noritz part number was used.
  • 5. Professional reprogramming: Persistent error 73 may require board replacement or reprogramming by an authorized Noritz service provider.
