  1. 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 ?

  2. 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.

  3. 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?
