Water heater quit sometime Sat or Sunday.
Unit is about 4 years old.
Pilot light wont stay lit.
I replaced the thermocouple yesterday - Honeywell brand.
No Go.
Are thermocouples sometimes bad right out of the box?
Have replaced maybe 10 thermocouples in my life.
Pretty simple task. Never had a problem with one before.
This WH is the newfangled type with sealed combustion chamber and pizo lighter on it.
What are the 2 wires going into the combustion chamber for and could they be the problem?
What can I do before I have to call the repairman?
Thanks!
