Answers: How do I relight the pilot light on a gas water heater with a Honeywell valve?
- Relighting pilot light on gas water heater
- Honeywell control valve operation
- Troubleshooting water heater pilot failures
- Inspecting water heater burner and thermopile
What it concludes
- Turning the control dial to the off position for 10 minutes clears out safety status errors when pilot lighting fails after three attempts.
- Pressing and holding the control dial on pilot while clicking the igniter delivers gas and creates a spark to light the pilot.
- On modern units, the status light will flash once the dial can be released after successful ignition.
- Water heater temperature should be tested at a vanity faucet and kept at 130 degrees Fahrenheit or less to prevent scalding hazards.
- The thermopile heats up from the pilot flame to create enough current to power the Honeywell gas valve.
- The thermal switch turns things off to reduce the chance of fires if the overall temperature gets too high, and can be manually reset using its reset button.
