    My hot water heater stopped working. When I looked it over, the powervent blower was not working but was very hot and humming. What is wrong with the hot water heater?

    Hi Counselor

    From my experience with these powervent systems the ONLY WAY to troubleshoot these is to get on the phone with RHEEM technical services and walk through the troubleshooting guide with them.

    You can contact them @ http://www.rheem.com/contact.aspx

    There are simply too many options to test to attempt to do it via writing on a site like this.

    Call tech. services... they are very good at what they do... :)

    Good luck!
