Check the burner tube for debris. Check the orifice for debris. Clean with alcohol.
Thanks!
After the wind and rain calmed down, and after the tank was flushed of hot water, and completely cooled down, I tried turning it on again.
So far, so good. Heated up with no error code or over pressure venting. Hopefully just too much wind pressure blowing into the flue. Plus wet inside from rain blowing in.
I'll do the burner tube cleaning when I get home.
I'll update after tonight and shower in the morning.
