How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power before changing any dip switches or configuration settings.

Steps to check and correct:

  • Review installation manual: Locate the dip switch configuration table for your exact Noritz model.
  • Verify all dip switches: Check each switch position against the required settings for gas type, altitude, venting, and system type (single vs multi-unit). Correct any discrepancies.
  • Check remote settings: Ensure the remote controller is compatible and configured correctly for the heater model.
  • Power reset: After adjustments, turn power off for several minutes, then restore and test.
  • Professional help: If error 73 remains, a Noritz technician may need to reinitialize or replace the PCB.
