Fix the error code 11 in Rheem Water Heater.
The part can be found on Rheem Parts website, supply house.com, homedepot.com
With the parts shortage online, we ended up taking the igniter coil from a replaced unit in our neighborhood.

Error code 11 started flashing last night..I always go to KZfaq first for everything that’s broke to see if it’s fixable at my level. Looks like I’ll be buying a $22 part and DYI! Thanks for such a helpful video

This is the EXACT problem I was having and I had no clue where the ignitor was even located. Other sites tell you to check it, but not how to check it or even where to find it. Great video. Thanks for posting it.

Great video. My plumber wanted to run hundreds of dollars of "tests" to diagnose my Rheem tankless. I said no thanks and ordered the igniter coil replacement. This fixed it.

THANK YOU! This worked. I had someone check the error code and they quoted me $900 to fix, but recommended replacement approx. $1400. Should have come to KZfaq first. Easy to get the part from Amazon and got it done really easy. Thanks, again!

This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. kzfaq.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

Lifesaver!! 🎉 thank you for this video! A plumber came out and looked at my water heater for 2 minutes (turned a valve on and off was his assessment) - then proceeded to tell us we needed a new unit and he could sell us one and install it for $2,500. Didn’t sit well with me! Called the manufacturer and they said for my issue it was usually the igniter coil and parts were still covered under warranty so they shipped one to me for free. Found this video and installed it myself in 5 minutes. Hot water is back!! Saved me SOOOO much money. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! 🤗

Sir, thank you for this valuable video. I followed your instructions, ordered the part for $23, paid $16 for next day shipping and we’re now back in business. Literally took less than 5 minutes to replace the part and fire it back up. So thank you again for sharing your insights and saving me time and money!

I just had this replaced with a freezing damage unit's part. Look like a common issue. This unit was installed in 2021 after the Texas grand freezing incident. Will call Rheem for replacement part as mine is still in warranty. Thank you. Maybe we are in the same community.

Victory ! Enjoying a super hot bath after messing with error code 11... My unit is very gas pressure sensitive (nearly 10 year old unit). I use an adjustable gas pressure regulator with gauge. It has a very small window to run happy (barely reading just under 1psi). Anything under or over it won't stay lit & errors out. I loosen the gas bleed screw under the unit till it drops pressure. You can hear the gas hissing so I know it has supply. Screw it back in & find the sweet spot, a Very low pressure. This time I needed to unplug power cord & the ignition system two wires, wait a 10 min. Plus it all back in an boom = Fire !

Good video, but I found out what was wrong with my Rannai code 11 and why the coil and unit always turned off. The electrical unit was wired to my dryer and it was getting to much voltage onto it. The professional checked his electric meter and all 4 lights where on when it should have been 2 lights. Hope this helps someone with the same issue as mine.

I've been trolling YT the past 24 hours, "In Search Of" (Leonard Nimoy) error code 11s. Here we go. Error Code 11 on NRC111DV 199 BTU. You're never going to guess what the problem was! Got a call from the tenant (this is a rental). Was proactive and ordered Ignitor and Ignition Plug. Turns out, the next-door neighbor moved out. Gas company showed up and turned off the gas meter to my house (no notice), not the house they were supposed to (neighbor). 24 hours later, multiple troubleshooting, cuss words, discovered the root problem. Point being, check the not-so-obvious things first. Damn it. Do I want to mess with small claims court? Maybe, maybe.
