I have a tankless system. About once every four weeks, the system goes cold for 20 seconds. There is a temperature blend valve that looks corroded on the outside. I am guessing this may be the issue. Also, what is this valve called? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

That looks like the old Microsoft screen saver, did the guy charge by the elbow? 🤣
That TMV looks like it's had a slow leak for a while, I would definitely replace it. I would have recommended replacing or removing it when the water heater was changed. I think they're pointless on a tankless and cause nothing but problems, but they're required by code in some areas.
