I know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Jameson Kasen I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The idea that a spiderweb was messing up my ignition! That shows practical experience. A very straightforward explanation, and a total lifesaver after our pilot light needed lit. Thanks!
Cannot thank you enough for putting together this excellent video! Saved me a lot of time, money, and trouble. Thanks to you, after a couple of hours I had the new parts and a working water heater, you sir are an absolute mensch!
Thanks so much for posting this tutorial. The demo model you used was quite similar to my water heater setup, so, it gave me the confidence to take out the burner assembly and replace the thermocouple. Problem solved. I now have hot water again, and, it only cost me $13! With much appreciation - Steve
OMG!! I followed the instructions labeled on my water heater and watched at least 3 or 5 other TH-cam videos all have incorrect instructiona to light up the Pilot light. I noticed and followed your settings from the beginning of the clip to light up the pilot and it worked. OMG! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! I had tried over and over again to light the pilot on my water heater but after watching this video, it took me less that 2 minutes! I was getting ready to call in a professional!! You save me lots of money!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
At the 2:20 mark you helped me figure out how to get my heater fixed. I just held down the pilot light longer than two minutes to warm up and get that magnet to kick in
Very very very helpful video. After pressing the ignitor I didnt think it was lit until your video showed me it burns very low & clean until depressing the pilot button & turning up the heat. Thanks alot sir, you saved me a serivce call for something super simple. Clicking the thumbs up button in this video
Great Job! Not many like you. Your not playing games. You Truthful want to help people in detail. Plus leaving all important detail covered. Great job. After tearing the heater apart. I felt like a hero for my family. The next morning the temperature dropped. Yet people need to have at least some common since on understand that this is gas so read very correctly before proceeding. Thank yup
Thank you for making such an excellent video that explains all of the many possible issues with a water heater pilot light. You should be teaching classes at your local trade school!! Anyway I woke up Sunday morning to no hot water. I tried lighting my pilot several times without success After watching your video I tried the 1st thing - the igniter wasn't grounded. I cleaned out the area and made sure it was touching the gas control box Then I tried it again and SUCCESS!!! Pilot lit!!!! Again thank you for making this video and sharing your vast knowledge with homeowners I greatly appreciate it!!!!
Thank you so much!! You said your name to fast I didn’t catch it but I watched your video went down stairs removed the entire burn assembly cleaned everything the way you described in the addition to all the rust from the tank laying on the burn!! Put everything back together and I had hot later yesterday evening. Pretty much saved my bacon. Checked this afternoon pilot light was still on and I had hoist water. I know eventually I will need to replace but your tips worked beautifully!!!! Thank you so much
Thanks. Excellent video with clear explanation. Now I understand why our gas hot water heater may not be igniting; lack of spark or lack of gas to pilot. Simple issues but getting a techie to come out and do the job probably will require that I take out a second mortgage to pay for multiple visits before it gets sorted. And that excludes travelling time and tool time and apprentice 's costs. Buying and fitting new unit is probably less expensive.
Thank you for this instructional video. I wanted to add. We just had our central air gas heater exchanged. The technician shut off the gas to install the new system. The new HVAC heating works GREAT. However, when I got up this morning we had no hot water. The pilot light went out when they installed the new system. I tried a dozen times to reignite the pilot on the water heater, but nothing. However, when the tech installed the new HVAC system and turned off the gas into the house, it evacuated the entire gas line leading into the water heater, and because of the tiny orifice on the pilot light, it took forever for gas to refill into the pilot gas line. You follow me? So, I had to hold down on the pilot button forever until gas refilled the line and the igniter finally worked. I was freaking out. "It is this or that?" for an entire hour. Anyway.... we got hot water again! Thanks Coach!
I have been looking for some helpful information about how to light up the pilot, and I found yours... and let me tell you, it is the best video with real solutions I have seen. Thank you so much for this complete and professional explanation!!❤❤
Great video! Excellent! I went to take a shower today and didn’t think the water felt very hot. I checked the water heater and tried lighting it and there was no spark. I don’t have time to go get parts and have a technician coming tomorrow. Video explained all the parts.
Excellent work, thank you, my warranty people have been through 2 controllers, a burner set and are now asking me to pay $270.00 directly to them for a fix due to my warranty parts supply have now ended, I ordered the full burner kit ( from manufacturer) and now will install it myself for only $115.00, if that doesn''t work I will replace the controller also thanks to your video. oh yes I have been without hot water intermitantly for a total of 20 days in a 3 month period, doesn't pay to be senior now days, scams are everywhere, just as a reminder.
Thank you very much. Now how do i make the flame small again? lol I am a master wireman, and my wife was hoping for an explosion when I put it all back together
Good breakdown video I didn’t know anything about boilers before this Unfortunately on mine I had to replace the thermocouple few buck at my local hardware store
Great video. Besides dirt, air,orifice or pressure. If the thermocouple is installed touching the inner blue gas cone,it cools the pilot flame causing a sooty pilot. Thermocouples should not touch the inner blue cone.
Judging by the gas valve, that's a much older unit than what I deal with on an almost daily basis. Most of the water heaters I work on are 10+ years old and use thermopiles, not thermocouples. They generally also have gas valves with diagnostic light. I've never had a spark ignitor fail because they are rarely used in the lifespan of the unit and I've worked on tons of water heaters. Most of the pilot lights go out because the burner compartment needs to be cleaned/vaccuumed and/or water heater needs to be flushed of sediment that's causing the limit switch to keep tripping.
What? Limit switch to keep tripping?? Please elaborate.. My pilot has never went out before until today, but now it won't stay lit or let me turn the heat dial up bcuz it goes out quickly after holding the button down more than a minute. I did notice in the past that some days there's really hot water & other days just warm but not hot water. Don't know if that's bcuz of wind in exhaust flue or not?
Hey Wiz.. so what's the best type of cleaner to clean the orifices with that won't leave a residue behind, carburetor cleaner? I also use pure orange oil degreaser type soap/solvent, then rinse with water & dry when cleaning auto parts etc.. Also, can anodes be accessed to be cleaned of hard water or are they inaccessible?
@@jhenry0688 - I don't use chemicals to clean the orifices. I use a small wire brush to remove the soot. This isn't usually where the problems occur, though. The biggest issue is buildup of soot in the burner compartment and/or sediment in the tank. The soot and sediment acts as an insulator and the heat from the burner isn't transferred very easily to the water trapping the heat in the burner compartment. Since the heat can't escape, this trips the high limit safety switch and shuts down the water heater. The soot should be brushed off the top and sides of the burner compartment and vacuumed out. To remove sediment from the tank, flush the water heater. Also be sure that the air inlet on the bottom of the burner compartment is not blocked. As far as the anode, most of these can be removed with a socket wrench.
Thank you so much for this video and sharing your expertise! I have been struggling for 2 days, since the power return after 5 days without, to get the water heater relit and your explanation helped me to see what I was doing wrong. Here's to a hot shower, FINALLY!
Fantastic Video. I'm having a problem with my spark ignitor grounding out somewhere or corrosion on the ignitor rod inside. I tested the ignitor and it is producing a spark. The spark isn't making its way inside. I'm guessing it's corrosion since if I press the ignitor enough I finally get a spark inside. Once the pilot is lit I can see a spark every time I press the ignitor.
Aha! The tiny little reset fuse! Last time I couldn't get my pilot to stay on I reset it on accident not realizing that was the solution to the problem!
Where do we get that particular thermocouple tester? at 2:13 that your plunging the solenoid having it clear like that you can see what’s actually happening is great.
There is an ECO connection between the thermocouple and the gas valve. There are contacts on both sides of a wafer like thing that is between the threaded end of the thermocouple and the valve is there a way to get the pilot to stay lit if the ECO connection is bad
My manual thermal limit keeps tripping and I already replaced the thermocouple..what should I do next? I see you were talking about a thermal fuse. Would that cause it to trip..my gas water boiler starts and it lights up but within 10 minutes the manual thermal limit trips and it all shuts down..
This is a great video! I have been without hot water since the LP ran out a week ago. Its been filled since then but the water heater will not light. I took it apart and cleaned the little pieces inside still have spark but after putting back together it still wont light BUT there is a change since I cleaned the inside bits. When I remove my hand from the pilot button i hear the 2 clicks he talks about at 12:00 but he doesnt explain in terms I can understand what they mean. Is it something that relates to my issue??? Someone put there help this lady out...😂
When I sprayed soapy water on all the gas lines there is a huge bubble at the bottom of the thermostat box. I can't tell where it's coming from any ideas?
I’m having problems with the main burner turbulence blowing the pilot out after the main burner kicks off. I’ve been experimenting with the distance the pilot is to the burner. It seems to work better really close to the burner. Farther away seem blow it out more often. Is that something you have run into?
What if all the bottom working parts were under water for a few weeks? Any chance of saving it or replacing all of those parts? How long do you think it would take for a plumber to fix if I can get the parts? It's a tried and true maybe 1986-98 gas Mastercraft! I'll look closer for the date. I didn't have my magnifying glass with me!
i have a 30 year old water heater where you have to light the pilot with a match and the pilot went out so i got propane and that didn't do it so then i changed the thermocouple and that doesn't seem to work either what would you recommend? its an old reliance 501 and i'd like to see if i can get just a little more life out of it,thank you.
The Pilot keeps going out after the water heats, it new thermalcoupling that i have replaced, it worked great for three months the issue occurs Any hints
Hello. Been having problems with my Richmond water heater. It light up fine a about 15-25min but after that it shuts off completely, no pilot flame either. And won't turn back on until it cools off. If I keep "hot" water running the flame will stay on. What could be my problem? Thank you in advance for any help.
Fun fact, don't forget to turn the light out so can see the pilot light if your not sure, 🤦🏻♂️ I just spent 2 hour figuring things out and it just needed relit.
I have a 4 year old 30 gallon propane hotwater heater. My thermal limit switch keeps popping out. Almost every day. What can I do to correct this issue??

Darling husband fixed our water heater after listening to 1:23 of your video. Thank you, thank you!
Thanks for sharing this detailed video. The most comprehensive explanation on TH-cam !
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very comprensive troubleshooting video. Thank you for the time and energy it took to put this together.
Very impressive ! Thank you
Probably the best instructional video out there about gas valves. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic. You walked us thru the X-ray of hot water tank. Many thanks.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR IN-DEPTH VIDEO. YOU JUST SAVED ME A LOT!
This is the definitive go-to that even an arts major can grasp. Excellent work! Looking forward to a hot shower.
Thank U very much! 10:22- Measuring Millivolts of Water Heater Thermocouple with Multimeter fixed my problem. Voltage reading went negative!
Excellent!
Most thorough vid from a real pro - thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Excellent! I went to take a shower today and didn’t think the water felt very hot. I checked the water heater and tried lighting it and there was no spark. I don’t have time to go get parts and have a technician coming tomorrow. Video explained all the parts.

Excellent! Over kill for most on a top job presentation TYVM.
If you’re not supposed to take the front door cover with glass off, how can you clean any of the parts inside?
Thank you very much.
Now how do i make the flame small again? lol
I am a master wireman, and my wife was hoping for an explosion when I put it all back together
Love the demonstration aids you use very cool.
Thanks a lot SCB!

Craig, I always enjoy your details videos. What state & city do you work at? Do you have other technicians working for you?
Cape May County NJ. I am only doing the HVACR training now though and not the contractual business, thanks!
Once again, the University of TH-cam comes through! I used a small wire brush to clean the thermocouple and booyah - hot water!
Excellent description of igniter operation , mine stopped sparking,
you guys are awesome making these vids
THANK YOU
Thanks for watching!
excellent teaching 👋🙏
Great video! Thank you for teaching us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much sir for ur information, it really helps me, God bless you sir

4:55 Thanks for using the proper grammar!
Excellent video. Thank you 🙏
this video helped a great deal.

Thermocouple Tester: amzn.to/3k51t5c
Thanks, got it working again!
Very good video
nice video sent it to my 70 year old mom to get her hot water back on since i was stuck at work ..me explaining it wasn't working out lol
Excelente video tecnico saludos desde el norte de Mexico.
There is an ECO connection between the thermocouple and the gas valve. There are contacts on both sides of a wafer like thing that is between the threaded end of the thermocouple and the valve is there a way to get the pilot to stay lit if the ECO connection is bad
On your video it shows the temperature rod covered with a clear plastic, is supposed to be installed with it ????
Very helpful, thank you so much
Thermal fuse went bad after 1yr. Richmond water heater installed 4/21. Word is there is a problem.
My manual thermal limit keeps tripping and I already replaced the thermocouple..what should I do next? I see you were talking about a thermal fuse. Would that cause it to trip..my gas water boiler starts and it lights up but within 10 minutes the manual thermal limit trips and it all shuts down..
Thks. Very helpful
Great video thank you
Hmm, lp pressure range is actually 11-14” wc that’s off your tank regulator. You would then set your manifold pressure to the manufacture specs.
Great video!!!!!👌
how do you know what wire goes where on the thermal fuse
You can get the igniter from an old grill also!!!
Thanks 👍👍👍
Thanks sir

My pilot flame is too big. What causes this and how do you repair?
I’m having problems with the main burner turbulence blowing the pilot out after the main burner kicks off. I’ve been experimenting with the distance the pilot is to the burner. It seems to work better really close to the burner. Farther away seem blow it out more often. Is that something you have run into?
What if all the bottom working parts were under water for a few weeks? Any chance of saving it or replacing all of those parts? How long do you think it would take for a plumber to fix if I can get the parts? It's a tried and true maybe 1986-98 gas Mastercraft! I'll look closer for the date. I didn't have my magnifying glass with me!

How do get to the spark lead to clean it??
Is the pilot light supposed to stay lit at all times?
i have a 30 year old water heater where you have to light the pilot with a match and the pilot went out so i got propane and that didn't do it so then i changed the thermocouple and that doesn't seem to work either what would you recommend? its an old reliance 501 and i'd like to see if i can get just a little more life out of it,thank you.

Pilot keeps going out after the water heats, it new thermalcoupling that i have replaced, it worked great for three months the issue occurs
Any hints

No problem!
Amaizing job
Thanks Yosef!
Hello. Been having problems with my Richmond water heater. It light up fine a about 15-25min but after that it shuts off completely, no pilot flame either. And won't turn back on until it cools off. If I keep "hot" water running the flame will stay on. What could be my problem? Thank you in advance for any help.
I wish I had that much room to work around my unit, :( 😢
Fun fact, don't forget to turn the light out so can see the pilot light if your not sure, 🤦🏻♂️ I just spent 2 hour figuring things out and it just needed relit.
What about a RDT ? Didnt see anything about it.. Wish they never had them. anyway to do away with them?
My Richmond natural gas heater's pilot won't stay on after releasing the button regardless of how long I keep it depressed...
Have you ever seen where the burner plate was cracked and won't stay lit?
Very helpful video. Thank you. You sound a little like Kermit the frog. Not meant as an insult.
My button won’t click and light
I have a 4 year old 30 gallon propane hotwater heater. My thermal limit switch keeps popping out. Almost every day. What can I do to correct this issue??
I can push it back in a light the heater and it works for a day or two and it pops back out.
I have the resetable thermal limit on my unit.
Would it be possible to get one for electric water heaters also. Hint hint.
Thanks for letting me know what you would like to see!
Who else was cleaning their screen top right at 17:40? 🤣
Yeah those marks on the wall, ha ha!
Very nice vedio
I am Aftab, plumbing works, Pakistan. If you needs assistance I am ready. Regards
I can see my igniter sparking, just won’t flame up. All gas valves on
What was it ?
