Thanks for posting this video! It saved me today as I wasn't sure why my Rheem water heater stops working. After I blew the pressure switch and the metal vale, it worked.

Thanks so much brother. Went straight to the obstruction at the brass fitting. Working perfect now. You the man!

I was getting this alarm and it's Easter long weekend. I blew out the air intake lines and everything is working great. Thank you so much! This video just saved us hundreds of dollars and a weekend without hot water. Hopefully it was just some polleny fluff floating around and the switch remains working.

Did you blow compressed air from out side towards water tank or from inside towards outside of the building?

Sir you didn't describe how to take out that slim hollow metal pipe

Awesome video!! I had to swap my pressure switch because I was intermittently getting the same error. Weird thing is, when I installed the pressure switch and I turned on the controller, I no longer got the error, but the blower doesn’t automatically turn on anymore. I initially thought it wasn’t turning on at all, but I left it on for the day and I heard it kick on. Seems to be working fine. Do I have to be concerned that the blower doesn’t kick on when I hit the switch?

How do you get the tube off to unclog it?

I'll this tomorrow..just found out that water heater not working..checked that switch is off..try to on is not working..hoping that is the same problem ..

Hi there! Where would you suggest me to go buy if i needed -0.86 PF? Needing to look for alternatives here in Edmonton 🇨🇦. Thanks in advance!

Probably anywhere online. I see one on eBay thats 0.85.

I can’t find the right switch MPL-9300-V-0.75-DEACT-N/O-VS-SPC. Do you think any 0.75 switch works as replacement?

This video was very helpful! Thanks for posting this video. I'll let you off the hook for that $100 bet.

Any idea what would cause the blower motor not to spin? I can hear it sending power but just a wine like it has resistance . The fan spins freely by hand.

The light legend should be on the side of the valve. It will tell you what it means.

Mines the opposite says stayed closed longer than 5 sec tried resetting it after checking things and it does nothing but go back into limp mode the green light doesnt start flashing in getting stumped on this one I've managed every other time to get it going until now no videos on here on the pressure remaining closed the videos are all about it remaining open lol I need a new soon

Sounds like it’s still a failed switch that needs to be replaced.

These intellivent water heaters are crap. I've had one now for 11 years. Had to replace the valve twice. Pressure switch twice. Constant problems-hate them.

check the air intake !!

Well if my pressure switch was okay me blowing into it probably just destroyed it. Ffs

Not my problem

Where’s my hundred bucks?
