The board is a 4721517-22
There are 2 leds # 1 is flashing # 2 is off- indicates a high PS lock-
out. Says to short the test pins to reset.
The company I called was the outfit that repaired the system after a
garage fire we had. Insurance hired them. They are a reputable company
in our area but NOT a Rheem dealer. I thought it might have been
something wrong with the installation.
Anyway, I will try the Rheem outfit I purchased the unit from, I
appreciate the input. At least I know there is a new board available.
