Homeowner? What Rinnai code SS means for you

Usually minor Your combi boiler is reporting: Service Soon reminder. This code is usually informational or minor. The safe checks below often clear it; call us if it keeps showing up.

Safe things you can check yourself

  • Check the thermostat: right mode (Heat or Cool), set a few degrees past room temperature, and fresh batteries if it uses them.
  • Make sure the unit has power: its on/off switch (often looks like a light switch near the unit) is ON and the breaker in the electrical panel is not tripped.
  • Look at the pressure gauge on the boiler. If it reads much lower than usual or near zero, or water is leaking, call a technician.
  • Outside, make sure the intake and exhaust pipes or vent cap are not blocked by snow, ice, leaves or a nest.
  • Check that the boiler gas valve is open (handle in line with the pipe).
  • Try one reset: turn the power off for 30 seconds, then back on. If the code comes back, stop resetting and call a technician.
  • If only hot water is missing, check that the hot water tap is open far enough to start the heater.
