What does E775 mean?

The Navien E775 error code indicates that the unit's control board has detected an abnormal signal from an external safety device connected to the system. Navien units are often connected to external devices like gas leak detectors, CO detectors, or other safety shut-off systems. When one of these external devices is triggered, it signals the Navien unit to shut down to prevent a potentially dangerous situation. This error means the Navien isn't working because it thinks there's a safety problem, even if the problem is just a faulty sensor or wiring issue. It's important to figure out what's causing the signal to ensure your safety and get your hot water or heating back up and running.
