How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting for water inside the heater.

  • Open cabinet: Remove access panels and look for water trails, damp insulation, or pooled water near the Nirvana control board and wiring.
  • Seal openings: Check that all conduit entries are sealed with appropriate fittings. Replace missing or damaged gaskets on access panels.
  • Protect location: If the heater is exposed to direct rain or splash, consider adding a shelter or deflector that complies with ventilation requirements.
  • Dry components: Gently dry any damp electronics and allow time for complete drying before re-energizing. Replace any components that show corrosion or water damage.
