How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power and gas. Close water isolation valves before removing any water-side components.

Steps to check and correct:

  • Clean inlet filter: Sediment can cause the flow control valve to stick. Remove and clean the inlet water filter screen.
  • Cycle power: After cleaning, restore power and run water to see if the valve frees itself.
  • Inspect wiring: Locate the flow control valve motor and check its wiring harness for damage or loose connections.
  • Professional service: If error 65 continues, the flow control valve assembly may need to be removed, cleaned, or replaced by a Noritz technician.
