Hi
Can the filter on these units be replaced ?

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for the question.

I have checked with the technical help desk team and they have confirmed the filters can still be purchased through Tradelink or Reece stores.

I have also checked the manual and it states, filters should be cleaned every week during the winter season.



Thanks

Hi I have a Rinnai 556FM Heater what does it mean when the on light flashes Red after it tries to start?

1 answer
Rinnai
Rinnai A.Rinnai

Hi Tracey,

The ON indicator will change colour from red to green when the heater reaches the pre-set temperature and stops running. If the heater does not ignite then the pre-set temperature may not be set to a setting which is higher than the room temperature.

Thanks

Ive just noticed a small amount of water on the floor behind the my heater 556FTR (rear right side viewed from front). Its not a large amount which leads me to think it may just be condensation. All functions otherwise appear normal. No smells or other issues. Should I be concerned?

Hi Kent, thanks for the question, we would recommend a service call for the unit to be sure there is no underlying cause for the water which may lead to issues. You can book online here:

Thank you for your enquiry. We suggest you contact 1stcare Customer Service on 1300 555 545, choose Option 2 then Option1 to book a Service Call. Error code 14 can indicate that the “overheat safety device” is being activated and as you have advised that you have cleaned the unit they will be able to assist you further.
