So I lost hot water and went to check on the 4 yr old Bosch Tankless water heater what could be the problem.
I come to find out that that the heater is running full speed ahead, so I go back upstairs and try the hot water again...nothing! So I go check another faucet figuring it was something wrong at this location... No hot water. I go back down stars and the tank-less water heater is still running, and it is getting hot and smelly down in the basement, the pipes are starting to bang/knock...
I touch the water outline from the heater and it is ice cold...the supply line on the other hand is boiling hot.
I turn off the gas figuring this can't be good...
Water is now starting to drip below the heater...
I take off the cover and the heat exchanger is black and several wires are starting to melt...
What the heck happened? Anyone got any insight into this and Bosch tank-less heaters in general...
I figured it would be a good investment, but 4 yrs later it seems I completely wasted my money having this installed...
