Our water heater broke. It's one of those fancy tankless units. It even flashes an error code.

The service guy came, looked at it, poked it, rebooted it - and it came back to life. No more error code, nice hot water. 326 dollars for essentially 10 minutes of work.

For about 12-18 hours. Now it's got the same error code but rebooting doesn't fix the problem.

I'll be heating water on the stove for washing up and borrowing my MIL shower until this is resolved. It's going to cost us but we saved the money for just this reason.

Why don't things last anymore?
