How do I light my hot water heater?? - pretty tiny models
My water heater heats the water. I removed the sign of little metal in the background, but I can not move hand or foot from what I see. It's really not much to see. I hear the gas, you know, the sound is normally heard when heated. This is not a small flame. Should it not a little flame? I looked up and down, but I can not find the name or the model of the damn thing. It is in insulation with a zero interest by all wrapped! It is relatively new, like maybe three years and is large enough. Over seventy gallons, guess if I had. There are two buttons and a red button can be pressed when the dial is the pilot of the "position". The same principle was called "Off", "on" and "pilot". The bottom line is "hot" "warm" and "vacation". LOL, and please no smart ass, yes, I pay my gas bill! : P
Ideas?

Turn the knob to get out, switch on the bottom line all the way down to the lowest temperature, let stand for 5 minutes or less. Sniffing around the gas and call service if the smell.
Find the pilot. It ProBaby under that metal plate, which was removed. There must be a pair of metal lines in the top line down through the plate and down into the tank. The pilot is attached to the thickest. The thinner the thermistor. It may be bad.
You need a long lighter or a match or a long piece of paper, burning or something. Turn the dial-up driver. Press and hold the button. They are holding the button
a flame on the back burner lasted until comes the flame.
Hold the button for one minutes after the pilot lights.
If the pilot goes after releasing the button, or not long enough or the thermistor is bad. When the button appears when you release, service call.
IfYou decide thermistor is bad, you can install new hardware to buy a few dollars or service calls.
If the pilot stays lit after releasing the button, turn the knob and turn set the controller to the desired depth of the water. The burner is likely to start immediately. Replace the motherboard.
Salgo propane torch and light the gas valve driver set
Mash the red button. hold the propane torch, made up of the pilot light. I let the ball with a good safety and hot. However, it can moved if the driver is turning the knob, I will choose to pay attention in the temperature HOT careful not to burn yourself.The pilot would have walked out the door or hit a windy day or corrosion in the pilot or the magnetic Security / Thermocouple burnt. The safety lamp is heated in copper and nickel occurs when the flow of the Imam of the safety and allows the flow of gas into the burner. if the gas were allowed to travel without a pilot, this could be a dangerous situation. new models have problems with the newer type thermocouple, with its built-in security had been a memory. Check with your provider.
First, open the panel called A. Wait 5 minutes to behead all gases (Go Away), then turn, push the button for pilot and the red button when the light a long match or lighter with a long pole on a grill light. Locate the thermocouple. It is a small copper tube with a light bulb (size and shape of a bomb) on one end and at the other end of the small copper tube is connected to the control unit (the thing with the two buttons above) Wile pressing the red button to the flame of lighter in the ball of the thermocouple. a small flame of light have to keep pressing the red button for about 1 Midnight then the flame should be lit. If you try again, the thermocouple must be hot enough to send the signal to the control unit, to say that there is a flame, so that you are here on OK to send the gas when after several types then your thermocouple bad and must be replaced. if it is to rotate the wheel to the driver position in the gas flow and burner should light position. Turn the temperature dial to 120 degrees in the place of isolationIon and curved steel deck
They have the basics before you.
You did not mention if they smell gas. My answer is as if the gas is not present, because if the gas coming through the line, you should immediately make the smell.
I read that you have paid your gas bill. Are there any other gas appliances in their power, stove, fireplace? Do they work?
If so, chances are, someone from the supply valve of the gas water heater. Follow the gas line, or from the side or top of the tank on the wall. Check the valve and turn it on if necessary. Please read the valve inside, as far as you can, you can go or at home, at least you get to the gas meter, if you have a tank full of gas use air on the floor. If you have a gas meter, make sure that the gas in the counter. It can have two valves, one before and one after the counter of the counter, both must be.
Just because you pay the gas bill, can not be assumed that the gas companies were not disappointed, and turn on gas, the PAHPens more often, so are we. It could be a problem in the supply of your region, and the service may be temporarily interrupted. You should contact your gas company and ask them if this is the case.
If you can get the gas flow, the performance of the heater.
As necessary to convert the line of the pilot. In general, as long as there is no gas pressure in the line, you should hear and smell. You may need the dial and keep pushing the button STRICKER RED. You may need to click several times. If it does not turn, you receive a game in a long lighter or a long nose, like the earlier a grill light. In DIAL, carambola clear while away from the stove and move it. If there is gas available at this time, your hot lights.
If still not lit, it can be a kind of blockage in the head of the unit that controls the flame. If you are not mechanically inclined and can get the gas away from home, it is better to have a professional at this point.
Most, likeMind, everything you need to do is manually restart.
Hope this helps. Think safe, be safe.
, First off OFF gas. Putting a fan in front of the hot water heater for a few minutes. Check if you have an electronic ignition, like you see on gas grills or "some long matches or fire starter must go, clicker.Turn command and hold down the button for 5 seconds or less, and follow the tubes that the area of the burner comes. The flame should remain there. If the lights on the pilot button for 10 seconds or longer before it is released, it will continue to maintain. The flame should burn. If you leave and then try again. If you for wheel below average or very hot, as you can keep your care, burn water.Be seriously if "s high.After went to all that if we do not yet stay light on thermocouple.Small output driver command must probably new copper pipes to withstand the heat and converts it into millivolts, the gas valve open and let the gas burn.How 's says who? Good Luck
