Water Heater Pilot Light Keeps Going Out Honeywell Valve
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- WARNING:
DO NOT SET VALVE TO A, B, C, or VERY HOT!
Honeywell Valve has detected a“water too hot” event, the gas valve will never work again - unless you know how to reset "it", the HONEYWELL FRANKENVALVE! Here is the simple fix. I opened the cover again, left everything plugged in, took a piece of speaker wire with the plastic off of the ends, and held the wire ends to the top left pin and the top-right pin for a few seconds. I saw that the light went out and the pilot had gone out. I closed the cover again and lit the pilot again. Now the light changed from flashing 4 times to flashing 7 times. This time I left the knob in the pilot position for 10 minutes. When I came back to check the water heater, I saw that the light was flashing normally. I turned the knob to just the Hot setting and it fired up! MY CHOICE / NOW, WHAT'S YOURS? Please Subscribe, Like, and Share my Videos.

Pilot light went out one evening. Tried to relight and could never get the status light to start blinking after getting the pilot light to light. Finally tried the reset button and lit the pilot and the status light came on like it was supposed to! Thank you, you saved my family's shower time tonight!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you. My status light was not blinking at all. I switched to the off position and let it sit for 5 min as instructions said on the tank. Turned the knob to pilot and pressed and held in the control knob for 40 seconds. At 40 seconds, I continually hit the ignitor button while still keeping the control knob pressed in. I pressed the ignitor button prolly 10 times or so and the status light started blinking. I checked in the window and saw the pilot was lit and then turned the knob to the hot setting. All is good now.
I have no light either unfortunately this did not work for me
Thank you so much for this video! I didn't have to short circuit the board, but I did leave it unplugged overnight. It fired up the next morning. Our Whirlpool tank isn't even 3 years old. Honeywell should be ashamed. Again, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!!!
Thank you. Saved me $1,000 as the repair man wanted to just install a new one. Manufacturer gave me a choice of paying $30 for overnight shipping (for my free replacement part), $20 for second-day air and $10 for ground. Got it in two day with ground anyway. Followed the instructions in your link to simply swap out the front electrical panel and not touch the guts--and while it took 60 seconds and 30 presses--eventually fired right up. Manufacturer said it could take 90 seconds and 90 presses, so don't give up in the first 10 seconds if you try this as it might take time.
Even thought this video is now 6 years old it seems the Honeywell vavles continue having the same issue. New tank installed (A.O. Smith) in a remodel this year. A friend spent $700 with two different pluming companies who replaced the thermo-couple, then the vavle, and burner assembly before I came across this video. I figured if all the electrical/mechanical components had been replaced (besides the tank), and the venting was good there must be something else going on. I set to hot instead of A or B as the plumbers had done and it's worked without issues for 2 days. I didn't need to reset the valve. I turned the gas off, turned the valve to the off position for 30 minutes, and then restart the pilot. Thank you!
This is the best most informative video I have watched. I have been going through this for a few months. It sucks when you get up for work and there's no hot water.
The overheating reset switch is what fixed it. It's working now. None of the videos, manuals, tutorials, etc. I've researched have said anything about that reset switch. I doesn't even look like a switch on my Bradford White. Thank you very much. This is a great video and saved me money I couldn't afford to spend.
You, my good sir, are a God send. As a first time home owner, discovering my hot water heater on the fritz terrified me. However, with your amazing knowledge and calm problem solving I just trumped my first test of adulthood. I never believed that I would feel this level of wonder at feeling hot water coming out of the tap. You, you amazing human being, deserve only the best parts of life.
I am waiting for my 5th control valve !!!! 5th in 4 years on my Home Depot purchased Rheem
heater. No hot water since new years eve... Grrrrrr
Being fed up with this BS, I stopped at Lowe's and was ready to just buy a new water heater
today from a different manufacturer.... AND low and behold.. OESmith gas heaters use the same HONEYWELL piece of crap control valve !!
I also talked to 2 plumber technicians today... Both basically refused to " TAKE my hard earned money " god Bless em...
Was told almost any heater " Without " a HONEYWELL gas controller is a good buy.
Thank you for the tips. We woke up this morning with no H/W and came down to learn that the Honeywell valve was unresponsive (no lights, couldn't light pilot). After opening it up and shorting the circuit board, it fired right up. I did not even remove the wiring harness from the circuit board before shorting around the board. That did the reset. Thanks for the help.
I never would have found that little reset button without your video. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip about not turning it up too high. I've had both the 4-flash and 7-flash fail codes. Each time I had it turned up pretty far. I just re-lit it as set it between low and hot. We'll see what happens. The fail code is apparently cleared when you turn the knob all the way to "off" and leave it there for about a minute. Then, when you relight it, it will give you the normal blue status light.
Very helpful! Took the face plate off, disconnected all wires attached, and shorted board with speaker wire. Reinstalled then hit reset button, and followed normal lighting instructions. Works like a Swiss watch now!
How do you short it? I took out the board but I don’t understand the shorting process. Any kind of wire stuck in random places?
@@rjdry just touch all connections together, wrap with foil etc
Dude, you rock!! Thanks for the awesome post. My Status light was off, did what RC said and it worked. When I was hitting the igniter i could not see the pilot come on but it did because my status light started blinking. I then turned the knob to hot and I was back in business. Made my day brother. Good karma coming your way.
Reset worked great. Thanks. This is something Honeywell needs to take care of.
Indeed!!!
I agree on the reset sharing information on how to do it 😊😊😊
It's really sad to know that I spent $500.00 for a new hot water heater with a 6 year warranty, just to find out that if you don't pay a professional to install it as well, you really don't have a warranty at all. So many lawyers it must have taken to make up this warranty package on this new age hot water heater. As I read from one other guy on here, my light stopped blinking on of all days Christmas, 10 degrees out side. I thought man I don't have the money to spend on a tech to come out here. So for my $47.50 a month I pay for computer service I jump on utube come to Rc Jr post on good old Whirlpool and good old Honeywell and pushed the reset button and Bada Boom the hot water tank in back in business! So glad for guys like him to help us keep alittle of our hard earned money in "Our" pockets! Thanks to all you guys that do these videos. Merry Christmas! and now it is! J Groom
Thank you! This reset button behind the metal sliding plate is NOT mentioned in the instruction booklet. After pressing the relight button about 400 times, I found the secret button, thanks you to, and voila! It relit immediately and now I have hot water again after 48 hours. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Reset button boom and it started working, thanks to you and the world of youtube, man has youtube saved me a lot of money.
Great video. I used a little piece of foil to short out the board, put it back together, followed the pilot lighting instructions (success) and now it flashing 1x every 3 second like it should. I was still worried, I pressed the reset button and its working. I am so relieved. Mine is only 2 yrs old.
I literally looked up so many videos, and none of them were any help. Thank you so much literally was the simplest thing the reset button on the bottom. Thank you.
Boom! Started right up! Even with the light still flashing. I had just turned the temp up when it quit working since it's getting cold out.
The company that installed it wanted a big fee even though it's still under warranty. I'd rather put in a whole new heater than give them any money!
Report them. Make a bad report on yelp or other report sites. F them Back..
The biggest reason gas water heaters do not want to act right is because it is either having a hard time breathing, or a hard time venting. Gas products now have more safety features than the old style Non-FVIR water heaters. Air supply and venting are absolutely the 2 most important factors in water heater operation. Gas pressure also plays a role in the operation. Remember if there are any elbows in your vent, then make sure they are long sweep elbows and follow CAT-1 Venting. As a licensed technician, I see improper installations everyday. In a way I do not mind because it pays the bills. Remember, if your water heater gives you trouble from day one, then most likely there is an issue with installation. Don't get me wrong, there's shitty units out there and if you have one I can probably get you one for free. Keep in mind, if home owners read their owners manual, I would not have a job. So keep on ignoring those manuals lol
Turns out there is a recall on the water heaters furnace and valve. I am having mine fixed today. So much for the breathing and venting issue.
How do you get the recall info? Im so tired of relighting this thing
A million thanks. I'm in a vacation home 200 hundred miles from home and July 4th weekend and I replaced the thermalpile but only pilot light would light.. Got the pilot light to light but no burner and error code 4 blinks. Did some searching and found your video. I shorted out the top left and right pins until the blinking light went out and then did the restart sequence. Started laughing when the burner fired up. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. Reset button on the therm sensor did it for me. Valve seems ok. Just a note, the plumber told us previously that the water temp needs to be 120-140 for the dishwasher to work properly or your dishes don't dry correctly so we had ours set on A-B to get that temp. We have an A.O. Smith 40 gal. with the honeywell valve and has been in service for 8 years without any problems till now. Thanks again.
THAT IS NOT GOOD I HAVE HAD ROBERT SHAW GO 40 YEARS
My husband thinks your wife and I have a lot in common, lol. Thank you for the video! After an hour of watching other videos we found yours and it worked!
I watch every one on utube and this one was last, nothing about reset on any of them, then watch this and tryed it out
Works Great ❤
Great work and humor; we both laughed as we followed your instructions. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I watched and it literally took me less than a minute to get my water heater going.
The reset button also worked on my Whirlpool water heater, with the Honeywell valve! The button didn't actually move, so I disconnected one wire next to it, then hooked it back up, now the pilot stayed lit, now I have hot water! Thank you very much for the video.
That's a new technique. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for that technique! Im sure someone will get there pilot lit with it.
Keep them coming!!!
Life saver!! Thanks for these invaluable tips! Definitely saved us a service call, some cash, and headaches!
thanks!
I bought my heater years ago expecting to have to replace my old one so it is out of warranty and the place I bought it is out of business. well your little tutorial saved my butt, thank you!
OK, so most of my home is electric. And yesterday I turned off the valve on my garage heater for the spring/summer season. I then showed my wife where the shut-off was outside the house next to the heater inside. I demoed the procedure to shut this valve off so that if she needed to when I was not here, she could. Life went on. tonight my wife told me the water heater was off. So I went into troubleshooting mode deluxe. I followed everything mentioned here including taking the little board out and shorting all the pins to ground. Watched all the videos and followed the links. Then it hit me..., Oh no! I "did" turn the gas back on yesterday, right? Nope.... I didnt... I'm an idiot... So after 2 + hours of trying to restart the water heater and tearing out the board, she's running like a top now. It always helps when it has gas. ; )
Reset button did the job!! Thanks for pointing that out!
Tried your suggestion, and lo and behold it worked. Thanks for your expertise as it was a holiday weekend it happened on . Thanks again. Thank God you were around.
Hold on pilot for exactly 60 seconds and then continously push the igniter button should work this is a great video
Thank you so much! You saved me a service call. It is frustrating that you can’t turn this any higher for hotter water that definitely is a downfall but I’m keeping the setting lower and it seems to at least stay on now. Your instructions were spot on.
Thanks bud you saved me hundreds on a house call. Reset button did the trick!
I hit reset and then held the gas for about 20 seconds and it lit itself... thank you so effing much man you probably saved me a couple hundred dollars I don't have. I just replaced my outside electric and my washer just sprung a leak and I got laid off... all in the same effing day
Reset it and it works great now
Thank you for information on how to reset the unit
Other folks should clean thermopile and then reset it, even if it takes 10 or more try’s
Thank you! Pushed that white button...bam!
Thank you for showing us where that sneaky reset button was..would have never have known.
Thank you! This saved me further time, money and headaches. Excellent idea!
Thank you so so much for this video. I watched so many and thinking it was the thermocouple too. You saved me aggrevation and time and $$$. I hit the reset button and BAM it came on after that last try. Like you said a scam, I didn't have a button like the video, it was this obscure little red rubber wire looking thing. I cannot tell you the pleasure and relief I felt as heard that swooshhff!!!! I just hope it stays on now, I have not had problems before, but a service guy cleaning my vents for my dryer said the dust could have something to do with it. Now I want to clean it out too as you mentioned lol, it's almost 10 years old. Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you! I had several outages of the pilot light on my water heater. Was prepared to call a serviceman and order a $168.00 valve. Watched several videos and found your. Pressed the reset button and my water is heating now! Thank you again.
Gary that's what I like to hear. Good for you.
Thanks for this video. I was able to restart the pilot on my hot water heater during this pandemic. So you saved me from having a stranger in the house, and got the ot water working again for a family of 4!
That's is awesome!
Flush it out
I agree I don’t like strangers in my house looking every thing over
You just saved me money, time, and a horrible evening. I tried your first solution (reset button), and it worked. Ill subscribe. Thank you.
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you! We are back up and running.
Nice, happy it was helpful!
thank you! another reason why UA-cam is the king of DIY. I have the same hot water tank and it shut down over night. your video showed me the reset button, which got the tank running again! saved me a service call!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our water heater just stopped working...no lights, nothing. I am a little handy but this was beyound me Pressing the white reset button did the trick. It doesnt even look like a reset button and is not mentioned in the owners manual. Thank you again you saved me the price of a service call.
Thanks for posting this. When I pressed the button it went click, and then I was able to light the pilot. Thank you very much! I love the information age!
Followed your reset suggestion and that's what worked for me. Thanks for taking the time to post. Very helpful. God bless.
You helped me out rob, Thanks a million. The part with the cap got me understanding the problem I was having.
wife called last night no hotwater got home looked the sytem over fired up your video and we got hot water again thanks!
What worked for me was after clicking to relight while holding the dial in, was also continue HOLDING the pilot dial for 60 seconds after the red light started blinking and then setting it to hot. Not above hot. Thanks so much for the video.
Here I am on Feb 4 2020 at 10:51pm so grateful to you for your video!! All I wanted was to take a hot shower and this damn thing decided to turn off last night. My poor father in law came to try and mess with it with no luck ☹️... So I called my husband pretty frustrated, crying, and upset when he sent me your video plus a list of prices for the stupid Honeywell part which apparently is a piece of Garbage... To my surprise I was able to do it with the RESET BUTTON aka (life and money saver) lol!!! I've never been so happy in my life!! Lol Thank you so much again, my husband works out of town and my elderly parents live with me being able to do it alone is a great feeling!! Thank you again for all your help you're just awesome!!!
I have Rheem water heater, you explain everything step by step! Thanks!!
yes sir that reset on the igniter pilot worked. had the hardest time getting it to rest. thanks a bunch.
Reset button @3:34 for the win! I watched at least 10 other videos before this that didn't mention it. So easy! THANKS.
40-seconds with the igniter pilot button, that did it. Thanks for that info. Keep posting on youtube!
will do, thank you bob.
This video really helped me getting my water heater going again .was very helpful thank you .can't believe some of the comments people left talking down on this video .cause everything you said I did and got my water heater going again .guess there the one don't know but thanks very helpful
Thank you Thank you. My water heater making noises & light on Sun afternoon. Called journey man step grandson he said it sounded good to him. God Bless you. New Widow 3 high school girls. Home repair new to me. Instructions simple & concise. God Bless You.
Thank you so much for posting this video! Saved me a $400 call to the plummer!
Good post.
Brand new..installed Waterheater is $270.00 in Houstom..cheaper to replace whole kit and kaboodle than pay $175.00 for these ridiculous controllers.
I have to reset mine three times a year..all when it gets cold or after hard wind..and I keep it between B and C
Man I appreciate it everything u said in this video was what was goin on in my my house.Its been out 3 times in 6montgs and I get the pilot to light everytime but can't keep it lite. Call the landlord and im never here when he gets here to fix it. Its always been on veryhot from the time we moved in. I hit the reset button and got it fired up..Great video didn't save me any money ,because I'm renting, but saves me from feeling like a idiot everytime I call him,and he gets it going.Earned a subscribe out of me appreciate it
Thank you so much. Your video was just the help I needed to light the pilot on my hot water tank.
Happy New Year. Just wanted to say Thank You. Was able to follow the steps in the link you posted. I didn't have to short out the board. All we did was detach the face and unplug the wiring you detailed. Waited about 10 minutes to allow the board to reset or reboot like a cable box. Reattached the wires and the facing and tried to light the pilot. Low and behold it turned back on. So don't put your boiler ever that HOT (A, B, C etc). Thank you once again We highly appreciate the info. Have a Blessed and Prosperous 2017. From my Family to Yours - Sincerely - Carmelo
I haven’t or my wife or my infant son taken a shower in 7 days and 7 nights: WE STINK!!! and thanks to God then to you we will stink no more from now on!!! You’re legitimately legit !!! Thanks a million from Stoneham Massachussets!!!
Cold showers exist mane
Thank you for this video! You're the best! Totally worked, I have hot water again! :) Honeywell sucks for continuing to distribute a crap product! Sadly, I can't say that I am surprised.
cooper0106
'...Honeywell sucks for continuing to distribute a crap product...'
Same problem with my Bradford White water tank and the Honeywell pilot system.
Constantly fails / goes out when the temp is higher.
(The water heater is fine and a quality product btw)
You have to wonder what their product testing does before they go live with production.
Thank you so much. Did this to my sisters water heater and guess what???? IT'S WORKING. Hot water again!!!!
Yay, it worked......I shorted out the circuitry..... Thank you!!!!!
I used you video to help me today... SOMEHOW after playing with it it is working :) might have been my (reset) button
Reset button worked. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much, no where on the instructions on my water heater was there a mention of that little reset button, it did the trick.
I know! Worked for me too!
its 1 am and iam trying to get my water heater running THANK YOU for the info !!!
Jeffrey bayard ,f .k
Reset worked like a boss!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this advice!
Perfect video, clear, exact, & focused, it worked! Thank you so very much. I didn't know if I could do it and with your help I did. You were a blessing for me today.
Great video, thanks. If The pilot does not stay lit and the status light does not blink- try the reset button first. I also cleaned the thermocouple and noticed the igniter put out a better spark
Good to hear you have hot water. Thanks for helping.
Where is the rest button ? I can't find it lol
It's at 3:38 . Two wires connect to it.
Love the old school heaters,these are a pain in the Bank!! ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
I concur, I just went through everything the video showed and said. I'll be pissed when this happens again. Ours was installed March 23rd 2018.
If I saw your video earlier would save me my trip now I had to hit the reset button yes someone set C way to hot...You give every little detail so important you are the best and keep making how to fix video Thank you very much. I went back and hit reset button I notice it push a little and it set on pilot I said oh no I forgot to turn to off then I turn to off and try to reset again but the button doesn't push I then turn knob to pilot and wait but I was on the phone haha at no time I light then I saw I beautiful white light is blinking I still holding pilot knob down for 3 minutes then let go and turn to heat OMG it a beautiful sound happy ending.
lol, ok happy to help.
So that's where the reset is. Reset it and Voila! I had to replace my thermopile and it still wouldn't startup. Now all is good. Thanks!
I am having the same problem, thank you for taking the time to show us this issue.
Have a water heater less than a week old and my pilot light is out and the new version of the Honeywell controller has been installed on the new unit. Re lit the pilot and waiting to see if it holds. The status light wasn’t lit (pilot is off or controller has been turned to off)
Hope this isn’t the start of having to babysit a garbage controller.
Now I’m wondering if the ventilation to the water heater is bad or if it’s a bad control unit.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Reset worked. I was prepared to purchase a part and you rescued me. Hugz
Thank you so much for this! I’m a single mom with 5 Kids and couldn’t figure out for he life if me how to relight it!
Thanks! We have new construction...just had a problem last night with no hot water. Turned off this morning and tried to re-light the pilot with no luck. Will follow your video to restart. :-)
Remember if the switch on the bottom was indeed tripped, you will need to clean the flame trap under the water heater. The only 2 things that cause the TCO to trip is air supply or venting. Most likely theres dust stopping the air from getting to the combustion chamber. No matter how clean the area is, theres always dust.
Thanks. We just had a new Honeywell valve put on a gas hot water heater that's just over 2 years old.! Wished I saw your video sooner-would have asked for different valve. Worked 2 weeks now new one stopping every few days. Just 1goes off and indicates nothing with flashing lights. Going to turn our temperature down to hot from A. Hope that helps!
I watched alot of videos about this honeywell controller, the one tip that made all the difference was to not set it ABOVE HOT. For 7 years I dealt with it being intermittent and flaming out as much as 3 times in a day. Since I have set it just on HOT I've had only one pilot light out in 3 months.
I hope this continues to work for you. I subscribed to the not above hot method and it really worked for a month or two. Now it won't work on anything at hot or below.
You just saved me some bank! Thank you. Too bad this is such a faulty device. Fortunately, there are bad reviews on Amazon as well.
Thank you for making this video. We have had our heater for 3 years now and the pilot keeps going out here latley. We have had it set on VERY HOT all this time. Now after watching your video I am going to try putting it on HOT like you suggested.
Ramona Britman i in
The video is priceless. You save money and time. God bless you.!!
Thanks for the tip on the thermostat setting to keep this from throwing error codes.
I installed our Rheem water heater from Home Depot with one of these Honeywell pieces of junk about two years ago. (Sorry, but I felt the need to list all the guilty parties.) It's gone out a few times, after which I've found it with 7 code or nothing (no light blinking at all). I've been lucky enough to get it restarted just by going through the pilot ignition procedure. Sometimes the pilot lights while the 7 code is still flashing (!), but I just turn the knob and it fires up. A short time later, the light reverts to the normal 1 flash/3 seconds.
With a 30 gal tank and a family of four, we've had problems with running out of hot water in the past, so I've been keeping the knob set to "A." We use less of the hot water that way; two or three of us can take showers right after one another without running out of hot water. I guess we're going to have to live with slightly less hot water for awhile, because I'm going to take your advice and turn the knob down to the low side of "Hot" and see how that works out.
Reset button worked! You da' real MVP!
After nearly a week with no hot water and still waiting for a backordered gas valve replacement, I decided to look at what failed with my Honeywell. First, if you have any trouble codes, this probably won't help as these things have a tiny microprocessor on the control board. But if you just have the "pilot light works if you push in the dial, but goes out when you release the dial" problem, this may explain it. If you shut off the gas FIRST and then remove the white outer cover, you'll see the silver valve control module. You'll also see a couple pins sticking out about an inch. Those are leads for electromagnets inside the valve. It takes a security torx, but you can carefully remove all the screws and gently pull away the cover. Make triple sure the pins are not pulled out with that cover. The tolerances are really tight, and I saw a clear burn through on the wire winding from the electromagnet mechanism to one of the long lead pins. A soldering iron fixed that and some careful electrical tape placement helped limit any future shorts. Then put everything back together carefully, turn on the gas, and check for leaks 40 times. But that is all it took to repair mine. Just be aware there are plenty of ltiny parts to lose, and gas leaks are absolutely no joke. But if you need hot water sooner than the new valve can arrive, this may help.
Reset button worked. Thanks for the great information.
Awesome, the reset button (@3:52) worked for me. I did not even know that it was a reset button. Thank you!!!
We have the same problem. Thanks for the info in regards to the reset button. We ended up getting both the gas valve and the burner unit. Did pay 30 dollars for the shipping, they didn't want to send them together. So they want me to pay for a service call then shipping.... I insisted and finally they got tired of arguing with me and said they are going to send the whole unit. My suggestions to anyone out there (complain. complain. complain if you have a warranty) Honeywell/Whirlpool are scammers.
No I did not. It is the same valve when I bought It. I just did the fix on it by discharging the capacitor.
thank you jesus!! the reset button worked! !
Thank you. Reset button was the issue.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video. I followed your instructions and got it going again.
That's great!
So happy you took your time to make this video. I have the same unit it's not even three years old . I came home to no hot water after a long day at work. I tried what you said and it's going to have to be drained, and probably a new Honeywell unit?
Started getting a sulfur odor from the well water So I drained the water heater added about 3 cups of bleach refilled and let it set for about 1/2 hour then drained the water heater again. Flush until the water is running clear at the drain hose. Refilled, Then went to relight the pilot light, had spark but no gas, held the button in for about two to three minutes still no gas. Then you did me a big favor by showing me the reset button between the two red wires. Pushed the reset, held the pilot button for about a minute (that was a mistake) to much gas as I pushed the ignitor there was a mild thermo-nuclear reaction in the lower chamber, but it was enough to keep the pilot light lite..So I thank you and my wife thanks you. Now I can go to the next project on the honey-do list.
PS: the smell is gone but I don't know for how long...
