What Rheem says to do
These steps involve electrical testing or parts replacement. Rheem's manuals tell owners to leave that work to a qualified service technician.
1. Check to ensure water leak sensor is installed. 2. Check wiring connections to sensor from board. 3. Check resistance to sensor to determine whether sensor or board should be replaced (See ohm reading chart for correct readings).
