Well explained video. Thanks

Thank you! That screw that holds it has to have a nut in the back, PIA to get it back in. I just used a larger width sheet metal screw that caught into the plastic hole

i think i just saved few hundreds of $$$ -- ironically i got the error after HVAC/AC was "serviced" and they said to not look at Navien unless there is an error or hot water is not working! Such a BS -- i watched your video and found a manual of my model; took me 15-20 min to clean the air filter, it was so bad, never cleaned, $$$ spent for "services" during the years.. thank you thank you thank you for this VIDEO!!!⛑

Worked like a charm! Thank you sir! Subscriber gained

You saved my bacon at 9:30 at night! Thanks for posting this!

My exact problem but I was able to pull the dust layer off like it was the driers lint trap once it was removed. Thanks for this!

You should run the Oregon Gator blade with the mulch kit and try again. The rear teeth on the gator blades do a better job of mulching than high-lift blades.

This worked perfectly thanks a million

Excellent! Very complete. Good job! Thank you.

The solution was good! I found mud daubers had built a nest directly above the screen. Cleaned them out, and the hot water heater was working again!

Knowing how clogged my filter was, do you suggest regular maintenance. If so, how often do you check?

We have had a couple of fires near me and a big one over the weekend. Looked like ash and soot had fouled my filter. FYI.

Just woke up to the WIFE saying- The waters not getting hot! as she was getting in the shower. I checked the heater and the 110 code was displaying. I go to you tube and just like that. A quick and concise cause and solution to the problem. Not a lot of snow on ANYTHING her in Southern California. So I was confident it was the internal filter. My unit does not have the snap straps so a Phillips screwdriver was called to action. 5 screws total/ 4 on the cover and 1 on the filter clamp. Most certainly the culprit. Unplugged the unit (safety First ) Cleaned the screen that had a layer of lint like a dryer lint screen. I dried it and re installed. Plugged it in and was pleased that it had a memory of my settings. I was able to enjoy a warm shower. Not so much for the wife.....LOL. Thank you.Excellent information.

I heard you dont remove the plastic /rubber cover its a gasket

There was a plastic bag jammed in my intake. I should check camera's to find out who did it.

Good man

Thank you so much! This was exactly the issue I had!!! It worked amazing. Cleaned out the filter and good to go!

Just followed your instructions and problem solved. Thank you

Awesome video. Thank you!

You can add me to the list of those calling you a life saver. Mine had a wasp nest right on top of the filter (thankfully just one dead one) but that sure was caked up with gunk and now it works perfectly. Thank you !

Thank you! That did it - saved me probably over $100

I have a Scag liberty z and I mulch year around. I do have to mow slow, but I get better results than this. Thanks for making the video and sharing your results. Interesting.

Fixed. Thanks so much!

Great and to the point, thank you! Fixed my problem. Turns out the filter doesn't even need that much dirt before the error shows up.

You are the MAN! THANK YOU! 😅

I have the 54 xdx. Is there a quick way to switch to side exit instead of bagging or what is the solution when you don’t want to bag every time?!

Can these actually kill your trees?

You're a legend for this video. My plumber will have to wait an extra week before he gets his 3rd vacation home, thanks to you!

Totally fixed my issue also, filter was caked with dust!

So a year ago (2023) my 16' Schubert tree (about 20 years old) started leafing out as it does every year but then we got hit with a late snowstorm with freezing temperatures. Everything was frozen and it never leafed out again after this event and so for the whole year there were no leaves. I also noticed during the summer that the birds started to eat away at some of the bark leaving it exposed to the elements. I was hoping that this year it would come back but it didn't. Right now there are no leaves showing, just a bare tree. I don't think it is dead because there are suckers growing around the base and other parts of the yard like these trees are prone to do. My question now being Is there anything that can be done to bring this tree back ?

I have same clogging issues with 42’. Even in heat of July no rain no moisture chute clogs

This was very helpful. I've had to do the same thing. Thanks for the help.

Looks like you were mowing wet grass. That would explain the clogging.

Perfect, great tips! thanks !

I remove mulch and then gently use a crow bar so I don't poke holes in my underground drip lines/sprinklers, etc.

As others have written, your solution worked like a charm. Thank you so much for posting this. I have two small additions to contribute. (1) My 10-year-old unit does not have the clips that yours has to hold the cover in place. Instead, it has four screws, two at the top and two at the bottom. Removing those screws to get the cover off is trivial, but I'm just pointing out that my unit is slightly different from the one in the video. (2) The screws that the installers used to secure the intake pipe protrude through the case and block the path by which the filter slides out. I had to remove those screws to clear the path and then I was able to slide out the filter (after removing the screw that you warned us not to let drop into the unit). Again, removing those screws is trivial, but I'm just noting it for others who might run into this same issue. Thank you again for saving us the cost -- and hassle! -- of getting a service technician to come to our house to fix this problem.

Thank you for the quick, visual "how-to" video. My co-worker Steve wouldn't show me because he hates me.

Thanks, it took me 5 minutes to do all this and I'm a big dummy. I had bugs and junk in my filter.

very interesting. I had to take my hustler mulcher off as found it clogged too much either stalling the machine of leaving huge dumps mulch either end of my stripes/runs. Now without it, I end up with long stripes of cut grass which I was thinking about getting a bagger for - though I don't want to run back and forth emptying it :)

Thanks so much for this quick tutorial! I just moved in a new house yesterday and had no hot water last night! Woke up this morning walked through your video and I have it working🎉🎉

Can I use them around Holly trees?

My brother in law had the same issue. He asked me for help and this was the first video which came up when I looked up. Man this video was a huge help. I initially couldn't believe such a simple thing could be the reason for such an error code. But I followed the instructions and 10 minutes later everything was perfect. Thanks a lot man!!! 🙏🤝

Awesome video. Thanks for the help. You have other tips I hope!

Spot on! This was exactly the issue! Thank you!!

I’ve had at least 5 friends convert to mulching after asking me how my yard looks so good. Quick and easy.

Excellent suggestion. Thanks, must give it a go as soon as I pick up the auger.

Thanks, my filter was caked with dust and had this error code. A quick clean and it was back to normal. You saved me a lot of time and money thanks man!

Good video thank you sir 🎉

Thanks for helping us with a quick repair.

Just adding to the thanks! After viewing your super clear video it was a snap to fix my heater.
