Can i use a tankless hw heater to supply my hobart am15 dishmachine

Don't install tankless, because repairs, installation, operation, maintenance, replacement etc are expensive.
And the thing can be unreliable since you are connecting a computer chip and sensors to gas line, water line, electric line, and to a gas burner with vent to outdoors ... and each of these systems has problems on its own without a computer chip that can fail at the first electrical surge.

Otherwise call Rinni for specs.
1-800-621-9419

Ask about the 4 year warranty for residential installation.
Ask about deliming each year.
Ask about exposure to hard water, and water impurities, and water problems. Tankless cannot be exposed to more than 11 grains hardness.
Ask about recommended yearly maintenance requirement.
Ask why there are no service manuals, and how technicians know how to fix the thing without detailed service manuals.
Call around locally and see who services the thing, and ask if there are service problems.

We have enjoyed a Rheem Thermostat and a Paloma Eco Sense tankless gas water heater #RTG-74XN-2 for 2 and 1/2 years, but now there are error codes flashing and resetting the thermostat doesn't hold. ...

Before calling service technician, open following links for Rheem troubleshooting resources, including generic error codes and contact information for Rheem and recent manuals:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
http://www.fixya.com/tags/rtg_74pvn

Error codes are start place for troubleshoot, and multiple error codes can indicate bad PC board.
Same error code on one machine can be different cause and solution than another machine.

Error 76 is usually communication problem with remote control.
Disconnect wires from machine, and clean terminals is a start point.
Wire between machine and remote might be bad, or remote control is bad, or PC board or wiring connections are bad.

The problem might be solved by having technician catch the machine up on yearly maintenance.

Manual for same-similar product shows maintenance and troubleshooting and a few error codes, but not 76:
For the most part, the manual recommends calling service technician instead of offering DIY details.

Need to convert 2700ES from NG to LP and just purchased the conversion kit. What is the proceedure? Can not find a Bosch tech to do the conversion in this area (12430). I am told that I need special...

I don't have good news.
You are attempting a conversion that local technicians are refusing to do.
There is a reason why we service guys steer clear of some things: liability and continual problems afterward.

Contact Bosch and find the service bulletin for that procedure.
After all this is a highly technical and finicky machine hooked to a gas line located in proximity to people.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html

If this procedure is going to cost more than $400-600, and remember there is a risk it will not work afterward or will be a continual problem, then consider installing tank-type LP water heater from local box store. I recommend this.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-gas-water-heater.html

For others in same situation: NG to LP conversions are not supported or recommended by every manufacturer. This applies to tank and tankless.
Also check there is a qualified service technician in your area before installing tankless.
Read the manual before buying.
Tankless gas savings are $1-8 per month, but all costs are energy.
Tankless cannot be exposed to more than 11 grains hardness in the water.
Tankless are maintenance heavy, and with expected repairs, maintenance and cost of parts, cost of machine and replacement cost, a simple tank-type water heater is cheaper by far.

Pilot light works but no flame. Somehow, think it overheated due to stoppage of water flow at sink.

Before calling service technician, open following links for Bosch troubleshooting resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html
Resources at Bosch
http://www.boschhotwater.com/HelpfulResources/TechnicalSupport/BoschAquaStarModels/tabid/370/Default.aspx
Typical Bosch Aquastar manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Bosch-aquastar-170vp-manual.pdf

All tankless and tank-type gas water heaters require regular cleaning and maintenance.
It is unknown if your unit needs maintenance or repair parts, but catching up on maintenance using information from manual is good place to start.
Gas appliances are increasingly complicated and experienced technician is good resource to have in local area before installing tankless.

When taking a shower the hot water turns off. When I go to the tankless water heater it says C4 76. What does this mean?

Before calling service technician, open following link for Rheem troubleshoot resources including error codes and typical manuals.

C7 76 is problem with remote control. Following link might help.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Rheem-error-code-C7-76.pdf

Read manual cover-to-cover to make sure your tankless water heater receives yearly maintenance required for unit to continue working.
Tankless are maintenance heavy which can quickly eliminate any promised energy savings unless you de-lime and troubleshoot and read tips-and-tricks others have written and glean information from service technician who visits your house. Mostly glean how much tankless repairs and parts cost vrs buying whole new tank-type gas water heater at local box store, since all costs are energy.
