This helped get my water heater going again! It took a few time pressing the spark button while holding down the pilot knob, but it eventually worked. Thank you again!!

@jimbohnenkamp5082 Год назад

Your demo is much more helpful than their instructions. I thank God for your video.

We just went through Hurricane Milton in Sarasota, FL. The wind blew out our pilot light and we couldn't restart it. After watching your video, it started right up. Thank you so much for making this 😊

@SojournerNX 3 года назад

I now understand what someone feels like who has never held a gun. I was always afraid to even look at a water heater wrong for fear of it exploding, much less, playing with the controls like this man is doing.

@gamerprince-tl5hg 2 года назад

The warning images on them always scared me as a kid so even to this day i'm afraid of them lol

@edwardreilly9098 Год назад

Thanks for detailed description - showing the pilot light turning off - and pilot light turning back on. That’s really helpful. It’s the details that are super important - and now I have hot water agin.

I've fixed my water heater by watching your video, thanks!

@edwardreilly9098 Год назад

Also. I could not bend down to check the window if pilot light was lit - so I used my iPhone camera to view what was going on in that window - and that was really helpful. I got that trick from your video.

@altusshow7574 8 месяцев назад

I watched a couple of these videos and yours was the easiest an most detailed of all of them. Thanks, very helpful.

@krystalswift9000 2 года назад

Omg I was so scared to light my water heater. There is no striker. I found this video after I got it lit, but I'm still so glad I watched it. I appreciate you explaining everything in great detail. Thank you!!!

@FRAKROD1322 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your video, it really helped me a lot. I had no water running in my house and the water heater was off. As soon as I did exactly what you described in the video I had water again. Thank you very much

@JohnWright10 3 года назад

Thanks so much for the instructional video! Watched several videos on this and they said how to relight but didn't explain each piece and what they were for! Easy to understand. Thanks again!

@CarmenGonzalez-nm6gf 5 лет назад

I agree with the others, I looked to other videos and you make it so simple that I was able to relight my water heater Thanks 🙏🏽

@imadvlgrl 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for this video. I wasnt sure how many strikes was okay. And the other comments about looking more to the right saved me. I turned off the light and used a flashlight so I could see it better and it lit right away!

@WordofAdviceTV 9 месяцев назад

You're welcome! Glad to hear you were able to figure it out 👍

@tuanngnt 2 года назад

If you couldn't find the pilot flame, then try again by looking the left side and right side of the water heater though that little glass door. My pilot flame is so small and located further on the right side and I missed it on 3 times by looking on the left side all the time. I was upset because my water heater is just only 2 years old; so after watching this video and read some comments and one comment emphasized about that, then I went back to do the same procedure and Bingo! I found the pilot flame which is located on the right side. Man, my water heater is alright and thanks for this video. I don't want to spend $900 again.

@Overclockedegg Год назад

This was what happened to me. I turned off all the lights and the pilot light was actually much lower than I was looking. I could see a small blue light / spark and eventually it re lit after initially thinking it wasn't working.

@imadvlgrl 9 месяцев назад

Same thing! Your comment made me try a different angle and I turned off the lights. Thank you.

@iammine512 Год назад

@richardsmith4187 8 месяцев назад

Awesome video !!!!!! I had never turned the pilot off during vacation as I had never relit it before. I was worried I was going to blow something up. Now your video made things much easier and I will be replacing my anode rod with a powered anode in the next couple of days. All should be well after watching the video. I have subscribed as you do great videos !!

@emilymay3529 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, I'm going to try it. Looks pretty straightforward. It worked but there's a bit of a gassy smell around the water heater, is that normal

@WordofAdviceTV 9 месяцев назад

Were you holding the pilot button for a long time? Its fine if the smell was temporary but if you check again later and it still smells like gas, I would call out your gas company. They can do a gas leak search. (Usually this is a free service)

@SEV_LUnix Год назад

This was perfect! Saved me. Didn’t know to hold the pilot light button down after it lit. Appreciate you.

VERY EDUCATIVE.THANK YOU REGARDS

@kouyang2876 6 лет назад

a thank to you too....its probably a point to mention that you have to really look into the view opening to see the pilot light. because with the bradford white water heater i thought it wasnt lit for couple of tries because was cautious and looked planly into to sight. then i put an eye to the viewer and there was it. the small blue flame a little above.. .thx for your video

@WordofAdviceTV 6 лет назад

Glad to hear you were able to get it lit! You're right, I probably should have mentioned that sometimes you have to look in the sight glass from different angles to see the pilot light. Thank you for pointing that out

@jnyerere 3 года назад

People, please read the instructions on your water heater. No video will do a better job at explaining this process than the very instructions posted on YOUR heater. I promise you'll thank yourself for taking the time to do so.

@lovemagicandroad Год назад

I turned knob first off, then to pilot, pressed ignite but nothing happened in that lower window. My knob can’t be pressed down so maybe I’m missing a step, but I saw the window and took off that triangular cover easily. Yes GREAT VIDEO. Guess I’m almost there.

@michaelplunkett8059 Год назад

You have to turn little knobs back to pilot first. THEN push it all the way down and hold it. After pilot lights you still have to hold down button for 1 minute to warm up the thermocouple. If released too soon, gas cuts off. THEN turn little knob to on. LASTLY, turn big thermostat knob so the 2 arrows line up. You will hear a whoosh and the main burner ring will light up through window. Close cover but don't pinch wires or copper thermocouple wire.

@skippypromoter 4 месяца назад

can you mention how you set up the gas line to do this please? did you turn it off then on? how long was it off if so? Does it need to be on since there might be residual gas - is there residual gas? etc. And it seems some videos joke about the risks - how serious are the risks in relighting? is this for non pros to do? Seems there is missing information for some novices.

@kimberlyrice4718 3 года назад

@mgideon12345 3 месяца назад

@leanne424 4 года назад

Thanks! Very informative video. The pilot light goes out when letting go of the button after 30 seconds. The black intake screen is missing but I used a hand vac to try and clean that area. Tried the pilot light again. Guess we have to call for a repairman. At least now I know what else might be the problem. Should we buy a new water heater anyway since this one is maybe 15 years old?

@leanne424 4 года назад

Today a repairman diagnosed ($85) the thermalcouple/burner assembly and said it would cost $600 to replace the part! I'm glad I watched your video yesterday - I'm going to attempt it myself. I looked up the cost of a burner assembly $115.99 free shipping. Hope we ordered the correct part for AO Smith XVR40-100 serial #F05A082417.

@leanne424 4 года назад

Update - We installed the replacement burner assembly but couldn't get the pilot light lit. We called a plumber who briefly unscrewed the cap at the bottom of the gas pipe, then the pilot light came on in a few clicks. Best part of all he didn't want any money because he said he was nearby away and it took no time at. We gave him cash anyway. The first plumber was obnoxious when I questioned his charging $600, he then walked out without collecting the $85 fee.
