Noritz NRCP Eco TOUGH Code Er35

Exhaust thermistor open or short. The exhaust sensor is open or short circuit. Same remedies as the other three sensors, same auto reset — but a different proposition, because this one sits in the flue and is the input behind Er94.

The verdict

Call a licensed plumber

The part costs what the other sensors cost. The difference is that while it is open or shorted the unit cannot see a flue running too hot, which is the fault it exists to catch.

Typical cost: $150–$500
