Error code 36 does not show in Rheem tankless manuals.

Copy following link for general troubleshoot and error codes, and Rheem contact information:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Error code 36 does not show in any resource, including 2008 service manual, or 2012 product manual.
Check that remote control display is illustrating the correct number.
For example there is error code 35.

What is code blinking 20 on noritz tankless hotwater heater N_069M
The error is a HIGH LIMIT THERMAL ERROR. That means Calcium buildup has appeared in the unit. It is also called scale. To clear the error you have to power it off. That is done by the circuit breakers. You should descale the unit first though.

Error code tankless gas
E2 is a cold water inlet temp sensor. Has your unit experienced any freezing conditions? If it senses below 36 degrees or above 90 degrees it will show this error.

If its normal temp, and you still get this error...check your sensor. Its an 8(kohm) sensor. Make sure its not open. If it reads ok and your temp is not an issue, then you probably have a bad control board

I have an A. O. Smith Model FPSH 40-261 hot water heater. It won't heat water. there is a green light on the control flashing. What does it mean?
AO Smith uses the Honeywell ICON gas valve with green indicator light.
Some models use White Rodgers Intellivent with a row of indicator lights.

The gas control blinks the error code:

I have a Nortitz natural gas water heater, model #N-063s-1. Acouple of days ago it stopped heating the water. what can I do myself to fix this matter. Thanks, lynnatheana@hotmail.com
There are many reasons a tankless heater will stop heating water. The first thing I would look for is a flashing red light on the burner indicator. The flash break down goes as follows

continuous blinking - typically means ignition failure or the unit is overheating; look for visible water inside the unit, have your gas pressure checked, or check the flame rod/igniter for buildup of debris

three blinks - typically indicates 16 error code; typically resolved by performing a descale

4 or 5 blinks - exotic error codes; for these you should definitely contact Noritz tech support

If there is no flashing light, first check your filter for debris. If the filter is clean, your flow sensor is probably stuck. Again I'd recommend contacting Noritz tech support to help you clean the flow sensor.

No hot water from tankless water heater. Bliniking Readout
http://www.rheemtankless.com/content/tankless/rheem/help.shtml

This is there website.Above.
Use the live chat to ask them, the code you listed does not seem to correspond to there code list, the only code that does is code 76,
which is a problem with the remote control not talking to the unit.
So your best bet is to tell them the error.
