Most likely dust in the combination fan or fan motor is dead

Thermocouple. cannot be tested get new & replace. They are not expensive

If your heater trips, it means only one thing. And that is for a defective heater. It must be checked and have
it repaired or replaced. Since it is a gas heater, this must be a-s-a-p, it could explode and cause fire due to this defect. You can do it, or you can call the
technician for this product, since test instruments are needed for your Rheem Paloma natural gas indoor heater.

Basically this error means the input gas is restricted...line is too small. If the unit was working properly prior to this error code, you'll have to take the burner control assembly apart and perform some detailed...spring cleaning.

I have the procedure in PDF format...but unfortunately I don't have it with me at this time. Easiest thing at this point would be to call Rheem/Paloma Customer Support at (800-432-8373); advise them of the error code and they will send you the procedure in an easy to follow, step-by-step format. It's a fairly easy proccess, but takes about 3 hours to complete.

Thanks for trying Fixya.com

could be overheat stat or fan check the little hose at the fan area for pinhole next choice diaphrapm valve then micro switch best of luck

overheat stat or fan

Remove power source from the unit. If remote control is installed; remove cover and lift the control wires on the terminal...can be accomplished from either end.

Restore power and see if unit functions normally.

Contact Paloma/Rheem customer (800-432-8373) support and notify them IF you are getting a code "76" error. Rheem has recently extended the warranty on the "Burner Control Assm."; which is your problem. The C4-C8 portion of the error code, is where the unit stops the ignition process...burner fails to light, or gives you intermittent hot water. In either case, contact customer support.

If this helps, please indicate so.
