Hot water tank fix

[353gasman]

If you replace the control valve, don't drain the tank, just shut off the water take off the pressure through a faucet, change the valve on the fly. Its much quicker.

I had replace the control valve and the problom was still there. light kept going out. . i follow your instructions and replace the termo couple . and it's working great now .

What is the price range for hot water heater control gas valves?

[Buchoass]

@SteamerJohanson I called the number on the tank and they sent it with no charge. I would guess approx.$100.00? Cheers.

@Buchoass thanks for the info

This is great! I have to replace the thermocouple on my heater, and I have exactly the same heater. The plate at the bottom kind of freaked me out, but seeing that you did it, I'm feeling a little better about it.

@NorthWriter Thanks for the comment.

Let me know how it goes, better yet, video tape it and upload it to YT.(-:\>

Remember to always check for leaks.

I thought the water heater needed to be off the floor for safety, BOOM!!!!!

[Buchoass]

Yes! the hot water tank needs to be off the floor to allow air flow throught the vent @ the bottom. If you look closely you will see that the tank is raised about 3 inches.

The tank was initially installed by the gas company, I just did the repairs.

Yes! BOOM! if your not carefull. Watch @ 5:55 to do a gas leak test.

Thanks for watching

I have to change that thing on my patio heater...pretty much the same job I imagine. Thanks

[Buchoass]

They usually are the same, with the thermo couple being the main problem.

I have the same tank. i could not light up the pilot. when i pressed the ignition switch, i saw the spark but the pilot did not light up what happened ? help...

[Buchoass]

Yes this is the same thing that happened to me which is when i did this video. It is most likley the Thermo couple,you can but it at Lowes or home depot for about $10.00 I will give you Phone # in your inbox if you need more help.
