Hot Water Hot to Cold And back. I had that problem for 2 years. I had a very large shower head from the time I installed the tank-less hot water heater and the water temp would change from one extreme to another. Over time my shower head had stopped working as well as it did so I bought a smaller shower head and installed it and amazingly my water temperature quit changing temperature. I now turn my water to what temp I want and it stays there. It's been working correctly for 6 months now ... until yesterday and it quit working completely which is the reason I'm on here. lol

I have had no hot water and have fixed it by removing the inlet screen and cleaning it, also make sure the water flow thingy is spinning in the clear inlet side of the heater. If your on a well or have questionable water algae can affect the flow indacater very gently tap the clear plastic while you have the hot water flowing only if it not spinning . It fixed mine. I ended up dumping bleach in my well to fix mine. Hope this helps someone, nothing like getting ready to go to work and having no hot water!

    Your solution worked for me. last night had no hot water. After seeing this post took a look at the flow meter and saw it was not turning. fixed the problem by tapping the flow meter.

I have a PowerStar tankless electric water heater, model #44-557710 and it was replaced about 3 months ago. This morning I had hot water and this afternoon I do not. When I call for hot water a red light...

Call Bosch. And exercise your 10 year parts warranty rights.
Copy following link for Bosch power star manuals:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html#Ariston
Check circuit breakers, fully off and then fully back on. Test if voltage is at least 80% rating plate on unit. Check that temperature dial is set correctly. Call for service again.
Don't install tankless computer that heats water. You cannot fix this computer yourself, and they are problematic for owners.
Go to Lowes right now, spend $285 and buy tank-type electric water heater, roll it into your house, and save money, since the electric tankless computer heater costs average $100 more per year to operate than tank-type heater for average family of 4.
Tank type heater can be repaired by homeowner same day for $25 using off-the-shelf parts from hardware store. And that empowers the regular guy, and gets you off the junk tankless treadmill.

I just replaced the circuit board, and the water gets warm, but not hot.

Problem might be crossover from failed single-handle faucet cartridge:

Ok, sounds like a flow sensor issue, is your house water pressure steady or does it fluctuate? The sensors on these seem to be a common issue and this model has many issues with heating. take care
