Noritz Error Code 90: Combustion Abnormality

A 90 error code indicates a combustion abnormality.

This means that the mixture of fuel and air is off from specification and is resulting in poor quality combustion.


To simplify it, the unit is either struggling to move air in or out of the unit or it is unable to hit the set temperature.


On a newly installed tankless unit giving a 90 error code, the problem more often lies in insufficient gas pressure to the unit, incorrect or poorly installed venting or dipswitches not set correctly for elevation, pipe size or length.


On a unit that has been installed for some time and only recently exhibits the 90 error code, it could still be related to the above but more likely attributed to a dirty unit due to lack of maintenance.
