How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before removing covers or filters.
- Check water supply: Ensure the main cold water supply valve to the heater is fully open. Verify building water pressure is adequate.
- Clean inlet filter: Shut off water, relieve pressure by opening a hot tap, then remove and clean the inlet filter screen on the heater. Rinse thoroughly and reinstall.
- Clean aerators and showerheads: Remove and clean faucet aerators and showerheads that may be restricting flow. Soak in vinegar to remove limescale.
- Inspect flow sensor: If filters and aerators are clean, inspect the flow sensor for debris or scale as described for E01. Clean or replace if necessary.
- Test operation: Restore water and power, then open a large hot water tap fully. If E08 persists despite good flow, the flow sensor or control board may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
