If your Navien tankless water heater is showing the error code "no hot water," it means that the unit is not heating the water to the set temperature. There are a few potential causes for this error code:

  1. The water heater's inlet water temperature may be set too low. Try turning up the water heater's inlet water temperature knob to see if that fixes the problem.

  2. The water heater's gas valve may be turned off. Check to make sure that the gas valve is in the "on" position.

  3. The water heater's flame sensor may be dirty. Cleaning the flame sensor may fix the problem.

  4. The water heater's control board may be faulty. If the control board is faulty, it will need to be replaced.

If your Navien tankless water heater is showing the error code "no hot water," it is likely due to one of the above issues. Try troubleshooting the problem by checking the water heater's inlet water temperature, gas valve, and flame sensor. If the problem persists, the control board may need to be replaced.
