Hey Steve. I know you worked alot on water heaters… got a quick question about a AO Smith water heater of mine… no hot water… here is the issue… pilot light is always on… no hot water… I go check the water heater… everything looks ok… pilot light is on.. I turn the temperature setting and POOFFF.. flame comes on… problem is… after water gets hot enough and flame goes out… flame does not come back on unless I manually touch the temperature knob …and this happens everytime.. my water heater is about 12 years old.. do you think its the thermocoupler ? or igniter that is the problem ?
its very annoying these days everytime I need hot water I need to run down and touch the temp setting to get flames to come on to get hot water… your expertise is needed… let me know what you think … thank you sir. love your channel btw..great stuff.
New observer thanks Steven, teaching self sufficiency; man learning how to fish!
Oh oh! Stevie's discovered power screw drivers EVERYBODY RUN! 🙂 sorry couldn't resist. They do make life easier though.
There is a model that has a variable speed power screw driver gives you better control instead of one speed.
very good videos i learned how to check my wh.
I never clean the generator / power pile . idealy if one can get a millivolt reading from the generator that's the best way imo to go .. typical generator puts out 300 mil. volts .. could be more . dirty pilot will give a lesser reading .. clean that pilot and the reading comes up with a sharper pilot .. could have been dust on the air intake .. possible down draft hits it just right and knocks it out .. on that thermostat it would be hard to get a drop reading but you might be able to shave back the generator wires and see what the reading is .. .. then once you have your mlti meter on it turn the pilot off and wait for the click of the thermostat hood to drop out .. I..e drop out test .. on generators as you watch the millivolts decrease wait for the drop . if it drops above 100 millivolts could be a bad thermostat … on thermocouple types if it drops above 5milivolts I change thermostat .. I usualy never see a bad generator ,,, just saying .. I'm a gas tech for a major east coast utility .. thanks goodluck cool dog
My plumber thought alway to check for gas leaks after we lit the water heater. I've got small leak detector. Thanks Steve for sharing your videos I've learn a lot
good thing it was you wrenching on that main burner line, cause I would've went and gotten my big crescent wrench to show it who's the boss
great video Steve
good video . keep it up . Steve ^_^
Great video thank you. Steve I was wondering can the gas preassure on the valve be regulated and treated with a manometer?
mine was a ice berg in the courts and 3 years a cheating sl*t, but I should have known as she was cheating on her live in boy friend when I started seeing her
I don't see too many people with those security bars (at)21:01 on their steering wheels anymore. I remember there was one model back in the 90s that had a hook on one end to tie the accelerator up to the steering wheel to keep a thief from accelerating. Combine that with the Kbar, and nothin is going nowhere.
Nice one, Steven. People keep too much junk in their basement. Baby the dog.
Another great video Steve
Steve is the man.
the tech tips are always next level. Thank you for the valuable knowledge you share man.
I got a lot of problems with Bradford white
I had a (very) old coal-gas conversion octopus furnace that had a millivolt thermopile type deal on the burner, that thing was sensitive as hell to even the slightest issue with connection or dirt. I was so glad to rip that old beast out and replace it with a modern gas furnace. The old converted beast had a 300,000 BTU burner and cost a freaking fortune to run, worst of all most of the heat went up the flue.
Gotta love sealed combustion units. And smart gas valves. Great job Steve. Good cleaning and she's back in business.
Great job, Steve.
