    I'm a single mom with 3 kids. One of my kids had COVID when our hot water heater stopped working. Understandably, our local plumbing companies were not comfortable coming to our house because their employees can't afford to get COVID and lose 2 week's worth of pay. But I came across this video, and THANK GOD I did, because we now have hot water AND I didn't have to pay a plumber. Single moms everywhere need this channel.

    I haven't gotten my sense of smell back since I caught Omicron Dec. 18th, so almost a month later I couldn't smell if there were gas fumes! I had to follow these instructions to turn it off and not go near it until almost 24 hours later. Without knowing if there was a gas smell or not, I had to turn it to pilot and start sparking. It took about the same amount of tries as in the video, so I had plenty of time to be praying I wouldn't blow up the house. I praised the water heater and gave it some happy pats when I heard that whoosh while setting it to the previous temp. Thank you, Sir, so very much! Praise and happy pats to YOU, too! Ha!

    After two attempts to light the pilot I was losing hope. Then I continued listening to the video. My thermo coupler may have been slightly out. I pressed on it and something moved. Also decided based on his recommendation to clean the filter out underneath (didn’t see much dust, but he does say they can be finicky with airflow). One or all of the tips worked and on the third attempt the pilot light lit. Thank you sir!

    When I saw your video at first and saw that it was 5 minutes long I thought for a moment why so long all you need is to explain how to start a pilot light but after you started hearing you explain everything it was good information.
    Thanks

    Thank you from two Seniors, one of which is a DIYer but needed some help with this overly technical setup. Only read the "TO LIGHT PILOT" to the right of the knob. A bit stupid to have that unworkable info there when you really need the instructions on the tank above!! Didn't know about setting the knob to "off" for 10 minutes. Pilot lit in about 40 seconds after waiting 13 minutes.
    So thank you for clarifying this, and in only 3 minutes! 👍

  • @Mz-O-La
    @Mz-O-La ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you!!! Tried the reset button as another video instructed. Mine didn't budge...so I thought it didn't work or it was just a 'dummy button'. From your troubleshooting video, I learned that that wasn't the case. Whew,😅 I'm glad that I didn't break it. I followed the instruction to re-light the pilot. The pilot wasn't staying lit because I wasn't waiting for the status light to come on. This water heater has been working 7yrs 5months 5days without any trouble, then nothing! Thank you for the smart instructions. I watched, listened, and followed instructions now my water heater is working and I'm thrilled 😀

When I seen the light flicker on my water heater-then the the actual fire came on, I was jumping up & down! THANK YOU!!

    Best instructions out there for lighting the Honeywell Pilot light. Worked 1st time. The PDF instructions I found online for my American water heater were not as clear cut as your step by step method. They should be consulting your video before any manufactureer writes another instruction book.

    Like many people, I found that my pilot light had gone out. Searched TH-cam, and bam! This great video existed. Few attempts later, lit again. So many things I never knew are covered in this video. I also never knew about the tiny white button. Mine needed to be pushed, and no doubt this tiny little thing was the culprit. Thanks so much for your very detailed explanation and demonstration.
