Blinking Red Light-Hetare Shut Down
I have State Residential 75 Gallon-Gas Hot Water Heater Model PR675NRVET that occasionally shuts down (no hot water). When I check the heater, the control box (thermosat) has a "blinking" red light (a fault?). When I see the blinking red light, I can unplug (120 VAC plug) the water heater's control panel, then plug it back in which resets the fault... the blinking red light goes away and the combustion fan starts and I get hot water. This happens occasionlly but never happened before... the water heater is about 12 years old.
Is there a reason for this shut down/fault/red blinking light? Is there something I can do to solve?
Thanks in advance.
