Steps to Troubleshoot
While we strongly recommend calling Ethical Plumbing for professional assistance, here are some preliminary steps you can take if your hot water heater won’t stay lit:
- Check the pilot light: Ensure it is properly ignited and that the flame is steady and blue. If not, follow your heater’s manual to relight it safely.
- Clean the pilot orifice and burner: Dust, dirt, or debris can obstruct the pilot orifice or burner, causing the flame to go out. Gently clean these components, following safety precautions.
Inspect the thermocouple: Make sure it is correctly positioned in the pilot flame and not damaged. If needed, replace the thermocouple.
