What you can safely check
- Turn the appliance off and allow water to cool.
- Do not restart if hot-water temperature seems unsafe.
- Contact Furrion or a qualified technician if E6 returns.
- Confirm the water tank is full or city water valve is fully open.
- Run hot and cold faucets only to clear air if the plumbing was recently emptied.
- Reduce cold-water mixing if the manual symptom matches.
Stop and call a technician for
- Internal sensor, ignition, flame-sense, ECO, blower, pressure-switch, linear-valve, wiring, and controller diagnosis is qualified service work.
- Flame sensing, combustion, air pressure, fan, solenoid, sensor, board, LP, exhaust, and internal water-heater diagnosis is qualified service work.
Do not keep operating a tankless gas water heater with repeated display faults, abnormal heat, blocked exhaust, gas odor, or unstable hot-water temperature.
Do not run a gas water heater with abnormal flame, blocked venting, gas odor, or repeated lockout. Shut off LP/power and call service if the code persists.
