Hi everyone, I have a Rheem tankless water heater model ECOH200DVLN-2 which is only a couple of years old. It worked fine the first year and now it will randomly turn off about once every few weeks with error code 90. I have noticed it usually cuts off if more than one hot faucet is running (such as a bathtub or shower). I have even seen it cut off when running a bathtub at full speed and then suddenly slowing down the water by turning on the hand shower. I have done lots of things to try and fix. I keep the temperature at 130, but it has cut off at 140, 130, 125, and 120.
-I took the internal fan out and cleaned it (it wasn't very dirty)
-I checked and cleared out the horizontal exhaust flue (there was a small amount of water in it, but I sucked it all out)
-I cleaned the water filter (it wasn't very dirty)
-I flushed the system for 2 hours (the vinegar didn't come out very dirty, so I guess it wasn't dirty inside?)
What should I do next? What could the problem be?
