Possible Causes

Incorrect DIP switch or jumper settings, Mismatched PCB and boiler model, Corrupted configuration data, Faulty communication between sub-PCBs

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting any internal switches.

  • Verify DIP switch settings: Compare the DIP switch positions on the new PCB with the original board or the installation manual for your specific Rinnai boiler model.
  • Check model compatibility: Ensure the replacement PCB is approved for your exact boiler model and gas type.
  • Inspect communication cables: If your boiler uses multiple boards (e.g., display PCB, main PCB), confirm that all communication harnesses are connected correctly.
  • Factory reset (technician only): Some models allow a parameter reset procedure that should be performed by a trained technician.
