Usually not an emergency. If you smell gas, do not touch switches or try to relight anything: leave, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.

— Rheem, Rheem Residential Super High Efficiency gas water heater Use & Care manual (AP21831 Rev 2), alarm and alert codes. Codes vary by model: check your gas water heater’s own manual.
Next to A004 in Rheem’s table: A003 (Intake Switch open) and A005 (PoF Switch error E).
Safety: If you smell gas, do not touch switches or try to relight anything: leave, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
At least THIS WEEK. fixRAgent treats this code as a this-week repair: the appliance has reported a fault, but the code alone does not point at a safety hazard. This is fixRAgent’s reading, not the manufacturer’s. A photo can raise it — water near wiring, scorch marks, a gas smell — but a code never lowers what the photo shows.
Plumber. Have the model and serial numbers from the label ready — a photo of the label works.
Check whether your model is under a safety recall on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s site: cpsc.gov/Recalls. Your owner’s manual is on Rheem’s support site; search it with the model number from the label.
