Navien Tankless Water Heater Not Producing Hot Water

Nothing is more frustrating than turning on the faucet and discovering your Navien tankless water heater is not producing hot water.

Whether the problem is a gas supply issue, ignition failure, water flow restriction, error code, scale buildup, or component failure, Hot Water Pros can diagnose the problem and restore reliable hot water service throughout Indianapolis and surrounding communities.

QUICK ANSWER

Why Your Navien Isn't Making Hot Water

​

Usually the unit has locked out on an error code, lost its gas or power supply, or isn't sensing water flow because of a clogged inlet filter or scale.

​

Top 3 causes

  1. An error code lockout, often ignition (003), flame loss (012) or venting (109 or 110)

  2. Gas or electrical supply problems

  3. A dirty inlet filter or scale buildup from skipped maintenance

​

When to call a pro

If basic checks don't bring the hot water back, or the same code returns after a reset, schedule Navien tankless water heater repair. Older unit with repeat problems? Compare the repair with a new tankless water heater.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Safe Things To Check First

​

  • Error code: If the display shows a code, open its guide: 003, 012, 109, 110, 351 or 515.

  • Power: Check the heater's breaker, and the GFCI outlet if the unit plugs in.

  • Gas and water: Make sure the valves to the heater are open and your other gas appliances work. If a gas valve is off and you don't know why, call us first.

  • One reset: Reset the unit once. If there's still no hot water, call.

​

Leave it to a pro: gas lines, burner and ignition parts, wiring and anything inside the cover. Our Carefree tankless plan includes annual service.
