How we repair your Noritz Instant/on-Demand Water Heater
An instant on-demand water heater is a compact point-of-use unit, usually electric, mounted near a sink or shower to heat water the moment it flows. An instant/on-demand water heater uses a gas burner or electric elements, thermostats or a control board, safety devices such as a pressure relief valve, and venting on gas units. A technician tests the heat source, controls and safety parts, and checks for scale, leaks and venting problems.

Common Noritz Instant/on-Demand Water Heater problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Unit makes a clicking or buzzing sound
- Likely causes
- Relays or triacs cycling rapidly, or scale causing water to flash boil on an element.
- What our technician checks
- Control board output and element condition are checked and the unit is descaled if needed.
Breaker trips when heating
- Likely causes
- A shorted element, undersized wiring or breaker for the unit, or loose and overheated terminals.
- What our technician checks
- Element insulation resistance, wire gauge and breaker size are checked, and terminals are inspected for burn marks.
Leaking from the unit
- Likely causes
- Loose compression fittings, a cracked heating chamber, or a failed seal around an element.
- What our technician checks
- The cover is removed with power off and fittings, chamber and seals are inspected while pressurized.
No heat when water flows
- Likely causes
- A tripped breaker, a failed heating element, a tripped thermal cutout, or a flow switch that does not close at low flow.
- What our technician checks
- Voltage at the unit, element resistance, the thermal cutout and flow switch operation are tested.
Temperature swings
- Likely causes
- A faulty temperature sensor, scale on the elements, or water pressure fluctuating at the inlet.
- What our technician checks
- Sensor readings are compared with measured outlet temperature and elements are inspected for scale.
Water only lukewarm
- Likely causes
- Flow too high for the unit wattage, one of several elements failed, or very cold incoming water in winter.
- What our technician checks
- Each element is tested, flow rate is measured and temperature rise is compared with the unit rating.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Check the breaker dedicated to the heater.
- Clean the faucet aerator so flow is steady.
- Lower the flow at the faucet to see if the water gets hotter.
- Check the inlet fittings under the sink for drips.
- Make sure the temperature setting has not been lowered.
Safety first: These units draw high electrical current next to water plumbing, so always switch off the breaker before removing the cover.
