Rinnai Rinnai V75iN Value Series Tankless Water Heater 65 Error Fix: Water Flow Control Failure

Error code 65 on the Rinnai Rinnai V75iN Value Series Tankless Water Heater means: Water Flow Control Failure. The water flow control servo (flow adjustment valve) has malfunctioned. This servo motor controls the water flow rate through the unit, working in conjunction with the gas proportional valve and bypass servo to maintain the desired outlet temperature. Error 65 indicates the flow control motor is not responding, is stuck, or its position feedback is abnormal. The flow control valve adjusts how much water passes through the heat exchanger versus the bypass path. If it fails, the unit may deliver water at the wrong temperature or may not operate at all. Check the wiring connector at the flow control servo. If the connector is secure and no wiring damage is visible, the servo motor assembly needs replacement.
