Rinnai Econoheat 850 Questions

Cassa8mo · Econoheat 850

I bought this yesterday on marketplace Australia just wondering is it wise to leave the battery init when I go away

aussietrueblue 8mo

Hi I change our battery out every winter other than that I just leave it in. If you’re going away I would just not leave it plugged into your wall gas unit. But that is just my personal preference. And we have had this unit for quite a few years now. Hope this helps.

Our Rinnai 850 Econo heater has been working beautifully but last night when we slid the burner setting to half heat it did nothing. The slider seems to not be connected and slides too easily. Can we fix it?

How to clean trouble starting

I have had this problem too. I get my brother inlaw to use his air compressor. I was actually shocked by. the amount of dust inside it. And we clean it once a month.

Hi where can I buy this I live in nz . Does the Rinnai Econoheat 850SL plug into the wall …want to upgrade from old Rinnai that plugs into the wall, house is on gas…

Hi, our gas heater does plug into the wall. I don’t think you can actually buy this item now. Ours is over 5 years old now. Hope you have luck finding it.

I have been told Rinnai Econoheart 850 no longer exsists, yet here you are showing them. I have had one for years as it keeps going out and was told repairing it would cost as much as getting a new one, I was looking to replace it. So whats the situation ??

aussietrueblue 6y

Hi I’m not to sure as I brought mine three years plus ago. You could try eBay

Rinnai DM 6y

Hi Eve Halliwell, Thanks for the question, the Rinnai Econoheat850 is still available, however, it is no longer permitted in Victoria as is does not comply with NOx emission requirements. If you are in a state other than Victoria, please visit: external link . On this page you can enter your postcode in order to locate a store.

If you are located in Victoria we suggest that you consider our Rinnai Avenger, you can view all relevant details at: external link .

Just replaced another older Rinnai with an econoheat. But after about 10 minutes it turns itself off. Why?

Rinnai DM 7y

Thanks for the question Alexander C, the unit turning off can be a symptoms of many things, including a safety shut down. We would recommend calling our Technical help desk on 1300 555 545 option 3 to discuss further.
