My one year old Rheem water heater has a design flaw. The flammable vapour sensor (Honeywell OEM) has activated multiple times. It was explained to me by an OEM tech rep that "any" vapours will activate this sensor. A new sensor must be installed and a code entered to reset the control. This put me out of pocket fixing a new water heater. It was not exposed to vapours especially flammable vapours. DO NOT BUY A RHEEM. What a waste of money.
I see a comment from a customer who is bragging he has done Zero Maintenance on his Rheem furnace in five years. What a dangerous comment!
