What each manual actually says
The table above compares 2 series in four columns, which is enough to route you and not enough to explain anything. This is the Noritz wording behind each row, one entry per manual, so you can see where the 2 readings of code Er76 agree and where they part company.
NRCP — Control panel communication error
The circuit board and the control panel have lost communication. Noritz's remedies are to check the connections from the circuit board to the control panel and to try the main power switch off and on.
NRCP Eco TOUGH — Display panel communication error
The main PCB and the front display panel have lost communication. Noritz's remedies are to check the connections from the main control to the display panel, and to disconnect and reconnect the power. Auto reset.
Does it matter which Noritz you have?
NRCP and NRCP Eco TOUGH all route code Er76 the same way: a replacement part, at $0–$500. That makes it one of the Noritz numbers you can act on before working out which unit you own.
