water heater pilot will not stay lit after thermocouple replaced?
I have two water heaters Whirlpool – two new Lowe's in September 2008. On Sunday we ran out of hot water, I checked and found one of them does not turn. I tried lighting (I know) and it does not stay lit, even after allowing more than three minutes. Last night, I replaced the thermocouple (TC), clean the screen, plugged in and there would still not light. I read all the forums on the amount of harm in particular Whirlpool flame lock model was, but I'm just wondering if someone qualified could advise me on the next step. Should I do another CT gas regulator, or is there a hidden switch / reset I am missing something? Thank you in advance. It is a spark Initially, he did not light as long as I reset the button (there is gas flow), but he died when I leave it in place. In addition, the instructions say there should be a pop / SNAP when I let the button and nothing.
is the type of heater with a son thenewer [regular right] Thermocouple … if so it should be a klixon "reset button type on the right side of the inner door cover burner, press the reset button between the two small son that connect to it … also .. son are securely connected to the security klixon? is the other end of the cables securely connected to the T line] separator [which is just below the? .. is screwed tightly to the tee and the control thermocouple is screwed into the tee? ... if everything ok, probably the control needs replaced, warranty is if you can change the thermocouple that you can change the controls ... I recommend draining the tank after shutting off gas and disconnect the old control Pilot tubing, burner tube, and thermocouple ... do not try to "jump", which means faster screwing in the new control while water out of the hole left open when unscrewing the old control, more risk of water damage, you could get the connection of the thermocouple on the new Control wet, causing the ground to about 25 millivolts of the thermocouple, pilot stays lit always used ........ if you have the old style set-up, with the left hand threaded thermocouple, you'll need to install the retrofit kit for the new configuration until ....... possible new thermocouple is "new-defective", but this is rare, just make sure the pilot flame is touching as it should ....... dan
