i'd never done anything like this before and i was initially worried about trying it myself, but it's actually really easy and quite safe. just make sure to smell around in case there is a gas leak. thanks for the video! really clear and simple to follow

[bbuntin]

thank you for the awesome video!

[Rinconmaniac]

I don't why, but most appliances I see on you tube have appliance flex connectors. They are only approve for certain applications(Up here in Canada anyway).

[EliseDrinksAbsinth]

THANK YOU!!!

[essielopez]

Thank you so much for your help. I truly needed your assistance. You are a life saver!

[NERDS4U]

Thanks for posting this video. I am so mechanically uninclined that there was no hope for me to figure it out myself.

[Laobuddy]

My pilot light went out for some reason.... What would cause a light to go off for no reason?

[ClassicManuals]

Did it go out for some reason or no reason? You claim both. in any event -- Check your air supply and thermocouple

[shavennn]

if you see a small drip about ten seconds apart it it dangerous? and will a creme brullee type torch work?

[OWN12S]

This is very easy to understand... Thanks for posting.

[Gaffney11733]

Wow. Facing a weekend of no hot water. This video saved the day.  Loved the safety advice. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[eraser0075]

Classic Manuals, you guys ROCK, my pilot light when out at my apt, and my landlord had no clue, but with you little video we got it lit and he now knows and feels comfortable re-lighting the pilot light..

HUGE THANKS!!

[Tennotsukaiyo]

[abaxteria]

You're my hero! Once I had the new thermocouple in hand, the entire job took maybe 10 minutes. So I celebrated with a hot shower!

[lisasimpson]

Thanks so much, mine had a starter of some sort but with this vid I was able to figure it out. THANKS!!

[Shame2pac]

Great Video, very helpful. thank you very much

[FlyRobDog]

this video is awesome. I had a problem where my pilot light would not stay on! It was the thermocouple and i fixed it.

I also made a video of how to fix your pilot light.

[balistik1031]

whoo!hooo!! no more cold showers! youtube rocks!! thank you!!!

[delyrium42]

Thank you so much for this video! My pilot light went out about a month ago and my landlord came over and showed me how to relight it. When I tried earlier today, it wouldn't light—but then I watched your video and realized that I needed to hold it down longer. Thanks so much—you've saved me from cold water in the middle of a blizzard!

[WanderleiSilva29]

try giving your landlord a BJ....maybe then he would be more responsive to your apartment needs.....

[cmarlow480]

question.... doesnt that make your gas bill very high since you keep your water HOT HOT HOT?

[zergling0]

Thank You! Your video helped me relight the pilot light on our furnace. Now my family won't freeze! (And we don't have to call the rip off artists (Suburban) and have them come out and relight it)

[FlyRobDog]

Ha! my pilot light wouldnt stay on. It was the thermal couple. I made a video of it too.. its in my profile

cool video!

[tallfeather]

I have heat again. Thank you very much. I really appreciate you posting this video.

[shibui112233]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I tried following the instructions on my tank and they were useless. In desperation I turned to the internet and found this video. I followed the instructions and was able to light the pilot without any problem. I immediately canceled the service call I had made and saved myself $100. God bless you!

[plainestudios]

Thanks man, this just saved me $100 in a service call. Very clear and very helpful. The instructions on my unit weren't nearly as clear and helpful.

[RippinRichie]

Thanks!!

[Tumtumlovesbeer]

My hot water heater doesn't have a valve like that just a weird blue knob that twists and a red button right next to it that doesn't depress when you push it. I have no clue what to do.

[ClassicManuals]

Send me a photo, I'll see if I can help.

Do you have instructions? Either a book or pasted on the water heater itself?

[Tumtumlovesbeer]

yeah I had a relative come over and they fixed it, I was doing it right but I needed to have the pilot button moved over about an 8th of an inch to allow the button to depress, guess I was just a tad impatient. Thanks for the vid anyhow it did help me understand the whole mechanism.

[Defender110R]

saved my @ss bro thanks!

[pfarrel2002]

helpful guide, thanks

[ratherbnewhere]

Thank you very much for your time, very clear, and helpful, john.

[biggkate]

my basement flooded a day ago and the water tank pilot lite is off; iev tried everything to keep it lite and it wont stay lite. what am i doing wrong ?

[verypogi]

Thanks is this also apply to the house heater?

[ClassicManuals]

Yes, and most gas fired appliances too.

[verypogi]

How exactly do you light the heater?, I have a centralized heater and it looks like it was sharing a gas line with the water heater... is it possible for you to make another Video for this?

[tiffinypie]

Thanks for posting. I have an electric water heater i light mines slightly different. but thanks
