How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas. Do not attempt to adjust gas valves without proper training and calibrated instruments.
- Visual inspection: Check the gas valve assembly for loose connectors, damaged wiring, or signs of overheating.
- Confirm gas type: Ensure the boiler is configured for the correct gas type (natural gas or LPG) as per the rating plate and installation.
- Check supply pressure (professional): A qualified technician should measure inlet and manifold gas pressures and adjust if necessary.
- Component replacement: If wiring is intact and gas supply is correct, the gas valve or control PCB may need replacement by a Rinnai-trained technician.
