Thank you for the crystal clear video. I cleaned the sensor, burner, and surrounding area with a vacuum and air compressor. Water Heater burner continues to run now.

Good work. I would add one last thing,,, soap test the gas fittings you disturbed with everything on to make sure you don't leave any gas leaks.

Great step-by-step info in this video. Real confidence builder as I was able to take the Ignitor and heat sensor out, clean the sensor and burner, and affixed the repair. Not sure if a temporary stop-gap measure but will change out the part if and when it becomes necessary. Thank you for the help and easy to follow instructions!!!

What is a good adhesive to use? What temperature should it be able to safely reach?

What are those foam rings for and where do they go in the GCH10A-4E?

I have a problem with my AO Smith Gas water heater, Pilot light is on... and stays lit.. the problem is flames dont start when needed... for instance when I go touch the temperature dial... I can hear the flame come on... but after flame goes out... it does not ignite again and therefore I have cold water... and I need to touch the temperature controls dial again.. and flames will come back on and once water is hot... flames goes out and cant come back on unless I touch the temperature dial again. do you think its the thermacoupler ? or the temperature control dial ? can I replace that ? or do I need a new water heater ?

I have a gas water heater and had it installed over 7 years ago .. Now it is not switching on when you open the tap... But switches on when you open two taps simultaneously.. Can it be a problem with water pressure? Or?

How would you know if it needs to be replaced

@repairclinic 10 лет назад

If the water heater isn't heating the water the igniter may be the problem. The easiest way to do this is to take it out and test it for continuity.

hi the tank gas just igniter just turn off after pilot every couple hours no more hot water is it the Igniter and Flame Sensor Replacement broken thx

It could be the flame sensor or the igniter. We recommend using the repair help of our website with your water heater's model number: www.RepairClinic.com/repairhelp?TLSID=1773

+MrAddicted2net If you are not using original OEM parts that could be why it is not working.
