It's Friday night and I have no hot water! I saw your TH-cam video with the exact same water heater. I followed the instructions and it worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't believe I was able to turn it on but your instructions did the trick! Really appreciate you doing this video for us!
Beautiful! “Helping Each One Another” is the “Most Beautiful Feeling”, Words Couldn’t “Explain”! Actually, I Just “Moved In” Unit #Today, “Maintenance” Never “Showed Up” Nor “Came Back”! I Need “HoT” Water For “Bathing”(Most Important), My Daughter Has “School” In Morning! I told her, Since “No Hot Water”, You Can Just “Stay Home”! Then “Mind” Got to “Racing”…. nah! School “Way More Important”…. Can’t Be That “Hard”! Picked Phone Up, Came To “TH-cam” Here Goes @jarrettpierce5626…. Explain “Step” By “Step”!!! I’m On My Way “Downstairs” To Lite” My Own “Water Heater”… Thanks To His “Simple”, “Clearly Spoken Instruction”, “Helpful” Instructions!!!! Jarrett You’ll Be “Surprised” How Many People This Video “Helped” that Was In “Need”… Like “Myself”(Me)!!!! Can’t Thank You “Enough”, Once Again….. “Thank YOU”! Sending Love Alll The Way From “Louisville Kentucky”❤️🤞🏽🙌🏾‼️‼️
@@jarrettpierce5626 Try Tagging you, But Check My Message Out Underneath This “Comment”!Please & Thanks So Much!! Something That “Simple”’Helped Out “Alot” Of Us “Single Mother’s” & Those Who “Needed” Simple “Help”!!!!
Sir- I was cool bathing in cold water for a few days- called a company that wants $99 just to ring my door bell- diagnostic will be another fee…The spirit asked me how about resetting it/ I found your video, followed your steps and our heater is now reset. Praises to Jesus and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
I can't thank you enough Jarrett. I'm a New York resident and we just had severe thunderstorms in our area and it dumped heavy rain with a bit of water seeping into my basement. Next thing I knew, the hot water stopped running. Before my Dad passed away in 2017, he was the reliable handyman in our family. I never took the time to learn such things about water heaters, etc., (I'm female). But now that he's gone (and Mama is also gone too last year 2021) I have to learn how to do things on my own. I didn't want to spend money on a plumber. Thank goodness for TH-cam. When I saw your video showing the SAME EXACT Bradford water heater that I have, and how easy it was to follow your instructions, I knew that I can do it. I am happy to report that my water is running hot again! What a relief. You are a LIFESAVER! Thank you again.
You saved the day for me. When I returned home after an absence of several days that included a power outage, your clear video enabled me to start the hot water heater.
After digging through the internet for an hour I stumbled onto your video and it was immensely helpful! Fixed my problem on the first try. You might want to add in the error code or "7 blinks" so it turns up as a result for more people. Thanks again!
Thank you for this! I hadn’t realized my pilot light was off. The hot water just stopped working. I had to pray about what to do (honestly) and looked up my water heater brand and lo & behold!!! 🤗 a WHOLE video on this. I tried it and no luck… I waited and tried it again and eureka IT WORKED!! Thank you 😊
Thank you for this video, I called pge company to come out to fix the heater for hot water and had to wait another day after 2 days of not hot water in November! Very appreciated God bless.
Thanks a bunch, this helped me out a lot and saved me lots of grief! I came back from holidays and couldn’t get my hot water heater started up. I looked at other videos and wasn’t helpful because they did not mention to hold the pilot button down longer for the gas to build up! Two thumbs up to this video and for you putting it on! From Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Thanks for sharing information. I was about to call a service technician. Tried the options few times. Finally pilot got lit. Got hot water within 40 minutes
Wow! This is awesome & do helpful. My water heater is exactly like this one so when I get back home, I will troubleshoot. It's only 2 years so I'm believing it has to be something simple that triggered it to stop. Hoping for good outcome.
Thank you so much for sharing that important information and instructions, our heater is exactly like the one you reset so that was very HELPFUL!!!! Thanks again!!!
Thankyou oct 2024 it worked ! I did everything you said I thought I had to flick a breaker switch the gas line which scared me 😢. I just switched off 5m then to pilot and held the button down and the black square and boom flashed blue which meant it was good ❤
Thank you so much for the easy instructions. I didn’t even realize my pilot was out until my water was luke warm…I had to also tap the little button in the middle of what looks like a mini windmill immediately left of the pilot light window once my water heater ignited.
So followed your instructions to a tee. Had a 1 slow blinking light like you did after pilot light, but when I moved it over to hot it switched to a fast 2 blinking light every 3 seconds is that normal?
Mine was set to low, and no hot water or very very lukewarm water, can I just turn the heat up instead of resetting? And what do I do if the light blinks twice every 3 seconds and then repeats when turned to hot? But when I turn back to low it blinks only once.
So me and my girlfriend have the same brand. What does it mean when you go though the lrocess and it works, but then shuts off after 2 minutes or so? Thanks far any help.
I have a water heater Bradford white still under warranty until June 2023 . I have been having some problem lately . The fire acoont stay on continuously . It goes out after two or three hours .
Hey , thank you so much , i did everything you said , but now the question , when the heater will stop because it should turn off automatically f there is no hot water runing right ???
Thanks! Was a very simple process. Only problem I’m having now is that it won’t stay lit for a long time. Maybe 20mins but then it goes out. You have any ideas on why or how to fix it? Thanks
Hi Jarrett! My water heater is still not turning back on. Followed your exact steps multiple times. I'm in California. Gas shut off valve is really touchy due to earthquake gas shutoff I'm gonna walk away for a third time I have your "exact" water heater
@@jarrettpierce5626 Very kind of you to reply! I watched 1 more TH-cam video late last night, gave it one more try. Was able to reset by going from off position to very hot for 10 seconds, to hot 10 seconds, to low 10 seconds, then back to hot. Green light started flashing and I was then able to light pilot light. This time I kept pilot light knob pushed in for 1 minute after pilot light was lit then put back to A position. Light flashed 2 times in indicating low pilot flame but within an hour flashed only 1 time. All seems fine. Have lots very hot water. Maybe I'll lower back down to just hot. Your video was a huge help. Made me keep trying. Thank you very much.
My water heater is running fine based on status light but I just hear it running all day like if it never fills up with hot water or it sounds like if someone just got out of a hot shower but all day what's going on?
Mine blinks then I turn the dial to choose the water temp, I really can’t hear anything firing up and then the status light stops blinking. Is the status light supposed to keep blinking so you know that it’s operating normally or does it turn off?
@@jarrettpierce5626 Thank you! Yes, we ended up calling a professional. Problem was bigger than just the pilot light needing a reset and parts had to be replaced. Thanks again.
Follow these instructions: Turn of the RED knob to OFF walk away for 5 minutes to clear any residual gas in the line. Move RED knob to PILOT and hold PRESS. you may be able to hear the gas going back into the line, or you may not. Wait for 30 seconds and press the IGNITER button below the RED knob. You can expect to press the igniter a few times until you see the STATUS light begin to BLINK. after 3-5 blinks (counting not necessary) release the RED knob and proceed to move to it clockwise to HOT A B...you should expect to hear a roaring sound of gas fire in the system as a audible proof that the system is on. Good Luck and thumbs UP the comment if you find it useful
I just got mines all new I notice super hot water coming out my faults I went back change status of hot water bring it down hot level “still HOT” so I went back again going on the low status the Pilot turns off What am I doing wrong
What is the problem when the pilot won't light at all??? I smell gas and see the spark from the ignitor but no pilot light and no status lights at all whatsoever. Been without hot water for two weeks now and can't take much more of it! HEELLLLPP
What do you mean by "Reset", are you referring to resetting the chip to factory defaults etc, or are you just showing how to start the pilot light? And could you not have found someone to shoot the video?

Thank you very much for sharing how to turn on the heater back on! So easy after watching your video! God bless you and your family! 👍👍👍😊❤️🙏🏻
Thank you!
Dude you freaking work, thanks for helping fix my water Eater at 2:00 am.
followed your steps and worked !. i thought i needed a new heater !!.
thank you.
Thank you so much for the easy instructions. I didn’t even realize my pilot was out until my water was luke warm…I had to also tap the little button in the middle of what looks like a mini windmill immediately left of the pilot light window once my water heater ignited.
awesome! glad you learned how to do it!
Per the manual, the 7 flashes then a pause that we see in your video indicates a gas valve fault!
Thank you so much. This video has been a godsend. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
So followed your instructions to a tee. Had a 1 slow blinking light like you did after pilot light, but when I moved it over to hot it switched to a fast 2 blinking light every 3 seconds is that normal?
Excellent video, straight forward, helped a great deal. Thank you.
Thanks . What do you do when the tank is making loud humming sound when it's heating up? I've released some water already
Thank you sir!!. This saved me a major headache haha!
Mine was set to low, and no hot water or very very lukewarm water, can I just turn the heat up instead of resetting? And what do I do if the light blinks twice every 3 seconds and then repeats when turned to hot? But when I turn back to low it blinks only once.
I want to know this too, mine was on low, so I don't actually know if my pilot light is out or the setting was just too low
@@priscillamanry6115 try turning it up it worked for me then the flame went back on when I turned it up.
After your burner fired, Your valve is still showing a 7 blinking error code, did you have to replace the valve?
Dude thank you very much, great video 💯
Thank you for posting this video, it really helped me
Do I have to turn off my power through my circuit breaker first?
that’s my question as well!!!
So me and my girlfriend have the same brand. What does it mean when you go though the lrocess and it works, but then shuts off after 2 minutes or so? Thanks far any help.
Thanks alot videos really help my wife was getting upset
lol i know how that goes, glad i could help!
Thank you so much this help me on a weekend avoid a plumber charge
no problem!
I have a water heater Bradford white still under warranty until June 2023 . I have been having some problem lately . The fire acoont stay on continuously . It goes out after two or three hours .
Got it blinking but now it's out again. Give it another shot or I have a bigger problem?
Hmm I’d give it one more go, be patient, if it’s not working again I’d have a professional take a look
To the turn off to let gas drain for 5 min to how to get the light back on great video thank you
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for your video it’s fantastic! 5 minutes and fixed ❤🙏🏼
Thanks for the info !! Once it’s back on is it normal for the green light to keep blinking ??
Yes it should blink once every 3 seconds. This indicates a normal operation status.
@@janebrenc981 Thank you 😊
Thank you, worked like a charm.
I have a question it’s is has to be in pilot all the time out you have to move to hot and live it there .
After I turn it on is normal to hear the gas and like it’s heating ? Or shouldn’t I hear any noise ?
you should hear it for a second when it turns on yes
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! LOTS OF BLESSINGS SIR
Hey , thank you so much , i did everything you said , but now the question , when the heater will stop because it should turn off automatically f there is no hot water runing right ???
Worked perfect as u explained. Thanks u so much !!!
awesome glad it worked for you!
Thank you it worked!!👍🏻😊
Thanks! Was a very simple process. Only problem I’m having now is that it won’t stay lit for a long time. Maybe 20mins but then it goes out. You have any ideas on why or how to fix it? Thanks
Hmm, well you can reset it now but if it keeps going out I would call a professional to take a look you might have a bigger issue on hand, good luck!
You are a hero. A HERO!!!!
Thanks to your video I was able to solve my problem thanks🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much learned something good
How long does it take for the water to heat back up after reigniting the pilot?
Stephanie give it at least a few hours and then give it a try.
Man, thank you so much!!! I was about to call someone to come fix it. 🙏🏽
I’m glad y’all are getting the help u need!
Hi Jarrett!
My water heater is still not turning back on.
Followed your exact steps multiple times.
I'm in California.
Gas shut off valve is really touchy due to earthquake gas shutoff
I'm gonna walk away for a third time
I have your "exact" water heater
Hey Hazy, I think if you tried it 3 times I would get somebody out there to look at it, it could be a bigger issue than just resetting it.

Thank you for making this video!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much for this video
Worked like a charm ty
np!
What is wrong if status light won't blink?
That’s a different troubleshooting issue I haven’t researched that one yet
My water heater is running fine based on status light but I just hear it running all day like if it never fills up with hot water or it sounds like if someone just got out of a hot shower but all day what's going on?
this question is out of the scope of my knowledge on these things, i would get a professional over to assess this and explain what is going on

Ok, followed these steps, it came on, I turned it up to B, and now it’s flashing 2 quick flashes and 3 seconds in between. What does that mean?
If you have hit water then you are good. If not then you might have a different problem and I would contact a professional to look at it
What if it start blinking red it was green but then I seen water wasn’t getting hot it was on low so I’m doing it over now
Thanks for the save
What to do thing keep turning off
I have the same question!!
Thank You🤗🤗🤗
I just got mines all new I notice super hot water coming out my faults I went back change status of hot water bring it down hot level “still HOT” so I went back again going on the low status the Pilot turns off
What am I doing wrong
at this point Id get an expert to take a look, this video is only meant as an easy restart if its out
HELP PLEASE!!! I HAVE THE SAME WATER HEATER. MY GREEN LIGHT BLINKS 10 TIMES THEN A PAUSE!!!!!!! I HAVE NO HOT WATER!!! WHAT DO I DO????????
id try to reset it once more, if it still doesnt work i would call a professional
Ty! You da man
Thank you
I’m getting nothing from the status light
Thank You!
What is the problem when the pilot won't light at all??? I smell gas and see the spark from the ignitor but no pilot light and no status lights at all whatsoever.
Been without hot water for two weeks now and can't take much more of it! HEELLLLPP

What do you mean by "Reset", are you referring to resetting the chip to factory defaults etc, or are you just showing how to start the pilot light? And could you not have found someone to shoot the video?

I did this and it worked, but now not getting hot water again.

I did it! Yay!!!
Great job Lisa!
