This was a lifesaver and moneysaver. These steps work, but you have to do all of the steps EXACTLY as instructed! Thank you!
That's wonderful to hear, C Payne. Enjoy the hot water and Merry Christmas!
HOLY CRAP IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SWEETHEART!!
@@patrickburns4821 You're welcome, Patrick.
You're the GREATEST! At the family place at a campground with a toddler and a baby-- thought I was getting the back in the car to drive home... or take cold showers for a few days... ugh.. THANKS!! Seems to be on "1 blink"
We’ve had two of these valves replaced so far, fortunately the water heater was still under warranty. The third one has just failed! I ran across your video, it WORKS !!! Woo hoo, thanks !
You are a blessing! You just saved me a service call to a technician. Here I am going crazy at 8pm on a school night wondering how my kids are going to take a warm bath. Before I was about to start boiling water to mix in with a cold bath, I did a very quick search and found your video. I am so grateful for you and this video and have given me the confidence to know “I can do this!”
Wow, Jacqueline! I am deeply touched and appreciative of your words and the story you relayed. It brought tears to my eyes because it means a great deal to me to help empower folks to fix stuff on their own so they can be independent and save their hard-earned money. Your dear children are fortunate to have such a resourceful, intelligent, caring and loving mother. You go Girl! Respect!
Lifesaver!!
Swapped out Control Board and immediately got 4 Flashes. Couldn’t see Pilot lighting.
Ran through these steps blindly and it Did work! Got Burners to fire off! I think we’re all good now. Thank You So Much!!! 🎉
You're very welcome. ;)
Just so you know, 2+ years down the road and your advice saved me a call to my landlord and a plumber. Thank you a million times over!!
You're welcome a million times over! ;)
Thank you so much for posting this. My husband couldn't believe it when I fixed it! Hell, I couldn't believe it either!
Oh, that's funny. Good for you, ALICE! I'm not surprised one bit that you can fix anything you put your mind to. Happy DIYing!
OUTSTANDING sister!! I’m a very very new homeowner who is just American and whom never grew up with these water heaters. So no “But of course you do that, didn’t you know that??” shite. This vid has saved my life!! And now I can have a hot shower!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
You're welcome, Lisa. I'm glad the video helped you. Enjoy your new home, and I hope you continue to fix stuff yourself. You go girl! Merry Christmas!
Was at work 30 mins overtime trying to figure this out with no end in sight. I get to go home now. I sincerely thank you for that.
You're certainly welcome, Clayton. That means a lot to me. ;)
I've been without hot water for three days while I wait for my landlord to send a technician to repair my water heater. I was able to fix the issue with the help of this video. Thank you!
That's just wonderful to hear, rioj95. Enjoy the hot water! You deserve it.
Thank you so much! I went through 3 videos before yours and almost gave up! After 24hrs without water this was a life saver!
That's great to hear, Brandon! You made my evening; thank you. Certainly you're welcome, and I hope you enjoy every last drop of hot water. It's well deserved!
My wife is overjoyed that I got the water heater to work again ....you are a blessing, worked just like you said it would! Thank you!!!!
You're welcome, Brad. That's so great to hear that you and your wife have hot water again, and you fixed it all on your own. Job well done! Enjoy the hot water!
You are a lifesaver! My 8-month-pregnant wife wasn’t thrilled with the prospect of a cold shower.
You probably saved my marriage!
LOL! Thank you, Cory, and I wish you and your dear wife a healthy bundle of joy. :)
Tears of joy over here, I'm a broke single Mom and this just saved the day.. THANK YOU!!!!!
That's wonderful to hear, TheKendy71584, and you're welcome. ;)
Thank God for you! Your straight forward approach to resolving my pilot light is out issue was a time and money saver.
Thank you, MrBless2bBroke! That's such a nice compliment. I'm glad the video helped you. Enjoy the hot water!
Thank you so much for this video! I thought I was going to have to replace my whole tank and turns out it was a simple fix. THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome, Jamie. It makes me smile when I hear "the fix" worked for someone. Enjoy the hot water!
WOKE UP SUNDAY MORNING 3-5-2023, and to my disgruntled belief, I went to take a shower and had no hot water. Had the dreaded 4 flashes of water heater death. Never had it before. Got on Amazon to purchase another one. This current one with the 4 flashes, I had bought brand new back in 2015. I was going to do a reorder of the Honeywell Natural Gas control valve/thermostat off of Amazon. I stopped and said to myself, let me look up this code and refresh my memory about the installation of it, on UA-cam first. So glad i did. I had decided to refresh my memory on how I ignited it and installed it, and came across this video. I'm so glad I looked at your video before doing the reorder. I did exactly as you instructed and it worked like a charm. In less than 5 minutes, I was up and running with hot water again. THANK YOU THANK YOU. The price of these have gone up significantly in my area. You saved me almost $150 bucks. The one I purchased from Amazon in 2015, new, was about $115 bucks. Again Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Tee Bee, for telling me your story. I mean that. It's so nice to hear when one of my videos helps folks save their hard-earned money. You're certainly welcome. Enjoy the well-deserved hot water!
You saved me! I just followed your instructions, and it finally worked! Hot water has not been coming out since last month.
Wow !! I saved lots of money. Thank you so much 💓
Kathy, wonderful to hear that it worked for you and saved you money. Enjoy your hot water! Happy DIYing!
You just saved me hundreds of dollars and a freezing cold shower in the winter! Thank youuu I appreciate you so much 💜
You're welcome, NettiePNW, and I appreciate you, too. Enjoy the warm shower. ;)
Wow, it worked! Watched the "pro's" replace the entire thing on other channels, but you've found a workaround. Thank you! Save me some money and a lot of time.
Thank you for the kind words, Anthony. I'm so happy you saved your money and got your water heater working again.
I'm a plumber and I APPROVED THIS VIDEO!!!
I was about to change gas valve, did this and boom! It fixed
Thank you, El crazy locote. That's a high compliment coming from you. Enjoy the hot water! ;)
Thank you SO SO much! Worked like a charm. Your video was short, straight forward, easy to follow and I loved that you also provided the instructions via text at the end!
Thank you, Johnson. I appreciate that SO SO much! ;)
This was exactly the video I needed. I am so thankful you posted this. Saved me a service call and gave me confidence that I could do it and it totally worked. Thank you thank you thank you!!
CJ, you're welcome. It's so nice to hear the video helped you and saved you money. I'm even more pleased you mustered the confidence to fix your water heater. Great job! Happy DIYing!
@@frugaldiy1 thank you so much for the reply!! This was my problem to a tee and your video was a lifesaver. Taking care of my elderly mother so every penny counts not to mention I need hot wash clothes a lot and I’m so thankful for your upload and this minute fix. Who knows if a service person would’ve been honest or made me cough up part money that I just don’t have right now. I just can’t thank you enough. The joy I felt when it went back to blinking once after following your instructions and me coming up through the basement door like I just won the hot water championships of the world!! 😄 It just felt so good to fix it myself I could hear the loud crowd cheers in my head. 🤣 🏆🥇👑
CJ, I'm sooooo very proud of you. You, taking care of your mother, speaks to who you are and the level of goodness in your heart and soul. You are an inspiration!
Your reply brought tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. You certainly have won my respect, and I hope you can "feel" and "hear" the loud cheers I'm sending your way. With respect, Frugal DIY
I just watched this video and it fixed my problem with my water! Thank you. You don’t see a lot of videos that ACTUALLY work.
Thank you for the comment, Mr. Rutledge, and you're welcome.
Recently divorced with a house that's way to big and 108 years old, you just saved me!! I was minutes out from ordering the new part and deciding what was worth more, my money or my time. I couldn't believed when it kicked right on!
Katelynn, thank you for taking the time to leave such a compelling and thoughtful comment. That made me day! Bravo to you for DIYing and job well done, ma'am!
YOU are a lifesaver!!!! New Year’s Day no hot water. Lowes was closed. I found your video online. Fixed it just like you stated. Genius!!!
I'm glad the fix worked for you, Mitch. It's mighty cold to be without hot water. Thank you for the nice comment. Enjoy the hot water and Happy New Year!
Amazing! It was 8 PM at night, and my kids would’ve had to take a cold shower… This worked like a charm! So thankful you posted this ♥️
You're welcome, CHC. I'm glad your kiddos will enjoy a nice, warm shower. They actually have YOU to thank for that. You fixed the water heater for them. :)
@@frugaldiy1 I felt proud for sure ha ha! But only thanks to you! (Btw. bought you a coffee but through paypal ;)))
My friend, it was you who bothered to try to fix the water heater yourself, and you did it! Thank you for your support and generosity. It means a lot to me.
I very much appreciate this, so easy to understand. I can’t tell you how helpful it was that you showed all those clicks it took to light, because without the demonstration I would have given up, thinking it wasn’t working. It takes a lot of clicks!!! My hubby is usually the fixer, but he wasn’t home and I needed a hot shower. You’re a lifesaver
I appreciate that, Anne. Now, you're a "certified" DIYer. ;) You go Girl!
So is it still working? I just did mine today , I’m trying to see if it’s worth the effort.?
Thank you soooooo much! My light was working but blinking 4 times each time I tried to re-light the pilot.. This worked just as you said. I need to clean under there on a regular basis. You saved me a $100+ visit.
You're welcome, Ticona2. I'm glad it worked for you.
OMG, I woke to no hot water and I just followed your video.💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I am a first time homeowner and single. Thank you sooo much 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾❤️ you have a new subscriber
You're welcome, Tabitha. I'm so glad it worked for you. Welcome to the channel and enjoy the hot water!
Thanks so much for the vid! Exact step-by-step instructions and your explanation of the problem saved me from having to wait a whole day to get a tech out to my family’s home!
You're welcome, Gabriel. It's so nice to hear the video helped you and your family get hot water and save money. Happy DIYing!
We had 3 college friends of my daughter visiting when our hot water heater stopped working. This worked. THANK YOU Frugal DIY!!! (My husband tried it 3 times, I watched the video, and it worked. Don't rush the 10 second counting - 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, etc. :).
You are awesome! Called whirlpool and they told me I needed a new hot water heater then I told him it was just a control unit and that was going to be $250 and I wouldn’t get it until Tuesday stumble upon your channel and it works like no thank you so very much!
I'm sooooo happy to hear you saved your hard-earned money and fixed the water heater yourself. Typically, the no-hot-water problem is the failed control board in the gas valve, not the actual gas valve or the water heater. Job well done! Happy DIYing!
I read the whole user manual and still couldn’t find this info. Saved me a call and a bill. Thanks so much!
You're welcome, Jeff.
From all the comments I hope you know just how helpful this tutorial was! You have saved thousands of people thousands of dollars including us! Thank you very much
Jonathan, that's one of the nicest and most thoughtful comments any viewer has ever left me. Thank you from the bottom of my DIY heart. I like to think my videos will encourage folks to be independent, DIY and save their hard-earned money for something that brings them joy in their lives. ;)
Found the instructions online and followed them and now water heater is back on. Also came to watch the video for the next time. Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome, Hugo.
Oh my goodness. This was the perfect video for my situation. I was about to call a plumber but this saved me hundreds. Now, if I can get the anode rods out of the water heaters at my business. They are tough to loosen. Thanks very much for this posting.
You're welcome, Jeffery. For the anode rod, you can try spraying it with silicone lubricant spray two different times and giving it some time to work, maybe a day. Only drain a bit of water out because you need the weight of the water to stabilize the water heater. Then, hit it with an impact drill or a 1/2" socket and ratchet with a cheater bar at the end. You need the cheater bar for leverage.
I verify that your video is an authentic public service. On my third attempt to re-ignite my pilot, I succeeded. And this time--due to watching your video--I knew what to do once I got re-ignition. We're up & running and we've got hot water again. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!
Kevin, that you verifying my video is indeed a public service. LOL! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Enjoy the hot water.
I want to give you a big hug to thank you :) - just solved the problem after following your steps - had to repeat once though. The whirlpool manual simply tells you to replace the control valve.
I'll take that big hug, Steve, and give you a big virtual hug back. ;) I'm so glad you got yourself some well-deserved hot water--enjoy it!
My husband left and my kids and I have had no hot water for a week. I decided to try to fix it myself. You helped me more than you know and when my hot water heater went back on I cried! Thank you so much.
You're the BOSS! You fixed your water heater yourself. Respect! Your kids are fortunate to have you as Momma Bear. ;) You're never alone if you have yourself. Please remember that.
It worked for me! Thank you so much ! I kept following the instructions for lighting the pilot and got the four flashes ! Saved me so much time and money!
You're welcome, Bre. Job well done fixing the water heater yourself!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. After a very long and stressful day, I came home to the exact issue described. Your video helped me fix it.
You are totally amazing! I happened to watch your other video on how to troubleshot the honeywell gas valve first, and I did all of the checks. All good. then I checked this little video on how to reset the 4x blinking lights and.. voila! my heater works like heaven! I now have to return the Gas thermopile assembly I ordered in panic! since it was good (from your other video) but that is not a problem. You are thorough and explain it all so well. Awesome videos and awesome you!
Carlos, thank you for your thoughtful and nice comment. You made me smile--big! I'm glad to hear the videos helped you fix your water heater. It's a great feeling to fix your own stuff. Job well done, Carlos! You're pretty awesome, too.
I've used this twice now and it fixed the issue on the first try both times! Thanks so much for helping others feel a bit more capable.
Thank You so much for making this video. I am sitting on the basement floor thinking about how my day is going to be ruined cause my family can't take hot showers 😂. Thank you so much. These steps worked. You have to do exactly what she says in order for it to work.
You are so welcome!
FINALLY!!! An actual CLEAR EXPLANATION of how properly reset. Leave it to a woman to get clear instructions that can actually be followed. Not half instructions. Not instructions you have to decipher. But clear concise instructions that work! Thank you my fellow comrade. 🤪
LOL! You're killin' me, Robin! Thank you, for the lovely compliment, my fellow comrade. LOL!
Happy DIYing and carry on!
Thank you for the vid. Had my heater up in no time. Good explanations and I love how you go through each step.
What a nice thing to say. Thank you for that, and you're certainly welcome. Enjoy the hot water, ShadetreeShaman!
Came home from vacation and realized we had no hot water at 11pm. Thank you so much for this video, you saved us soooo much money and time!
You're welcome. ;)
7:35 Thank you so much for your easy, step by step instructions! You saved me an unnecessary service call and your instructions worked first time like a charm! Much gratitude for people like yourself who share this type of knowledge freely!
You're certainly welcome. Enjoy the hot water!
Thank you, you're a lifesaver. I had to buy a new valve last year because the control valve failed and thought I was going to have to buy another. Thanks again
You're welcome, Richard. Thank you for the nice and thoughtful comment.
Best video I have found. Helping the inlaws fix theirs. Will be watching again tomorrow when I’m back at it.
Thank you, Utah. I'm glad the video helped.
Thank you for your great how-to video! It worked PERFECTLY for me! Heck, I was getting ready to go buy a new water heater for $300+ :-( You saved me money and grief!! :-)
elreyer1957, you're welcome, and I'm thrilled to hear the video saved you money and the job of installing another water heater. Happy DIYing!
Thank you so much for this video, I was able to avoid making a service call by watching this video. The steps were clear and straight forward. God Bless You!!!
You're welcome, Felicia, and thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice and thoughtful comment. I truly appreciate that.
Thank you! It worked. I followed your instructions, step by step and I was amazed. You just saved me some money!
You're welcome, Christina. Great job, and enjoy the hot water!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I kept following directions to relight and kept getting these 4 blinks and no turn on! This worked like a charm!!!
You're welcome, Zan. Great job and enjoy the hot water!
had the 4 blinking light problem on my whirlpool water heater...followed your video and it reset perfectly... i was ready to go to the hardware store to buy a thermocouple replacement...thank you sooooo much !!!
You're welcome, James.
Thank you, thank you! I called the water heater company. My unit was under warranty,so they are sending out a new gas control valve. No plumber had availability to come this week. Was without hot water for four days. This reset fixed my problem. I even asked the first plumber if there was some kind of reset and he said no. I am a happy hot water user again. Thanks so much for this video.
Great to hear! You're welcome. Enjoy the hot water!
This worked for me! I didn't have to do the steps immediately. After I lit the pilot, I got the 4 blinking lights.... I came down from my attic and found your video. I went back up and just did the 4 steps. (very hot, hot, pilot while waiting 10 seconds in-between) It worked! Thank you so much!
Just another comment to say thank you. This was exactly my problem. Followed your instructions and actually laughed when it fired right up.
Scottie, you're welcome. Your comment made me smile. Enjoy the hot water.
Video is 2 years old and still is very useful!!! I swapped out my thermopile...I didn't see a spark... then I couldn't get a light. Followed the steps, bam hot water!!!
Wonderful to hear!
This is the first tutorial I have ever used that worked perfectly, thank you.
Thank you! You explained it so simple for those of us who have never touched one of these.
You're welcome, Ana. It's nice to get your feedback because I try to explain how to fix stuff so folks can fix their own stuff. There's no need to hire a contractor, repair person or mechanic most of the time. ;)
I'm so glad I found your video, we almost bought a new water heater. Your instructions worked great. Thanks!
OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! HA HA HA... I followed your instructions step by step and my water heater started right up... Your a life saver...
You're welcome, Rory. I'm glad to hear you have hot water now. Enjoy it!
You helped my dad and I restart it THANK YOUUUU we thought we would have to clean out are garage and everything then call someone but u saved us a lot of money 🙏
You rock! The instructions said to push the igniter button every second. I did that over and over again and the pilot light never lit. I did it the way you demonstrated (click, click, click!) and it lit in a few seconds. Great job!
Thank you, Mark. I'm so glad you got your water heater working again. Enjoy the hot water!
Thank you very much for your post. Your instructions were easy to follow and now we have hot water Saturday morning. Have a great day!
You're welcome, David. You too have a great day and enjoy the hot water!
I had my doubts, but tried it anyway and it worked the first time, just like you said it would! Can't thank you enough. All the mfgr did was tell me the price for a new gas valve!!!!!! I am a subscriber and strong supporter! Fred D.
Fred, you're welcome. I'm so glad it worked for you--thrilled actually! Thank you for the kind words and support. Frugal DIY
Very very helpful I got up this morning no hot water at all. Turn to UA-cam find your video. The most helpful. Thank you very much. Saved me big money I would think
You're welcome, John. Thank you for the nice comment and taking the time to write it. Enjoy the hot water!
Thank you! Came home after a 12 hour shift, no hot water so made do. Did this the next day after my other 12 hour shift and seems to be good now! Cant wait to enjoy some hot water tomorrow!
You're welcome, Snow. That's wonderful to hear. Enjoy the hot water!
This information was so helpful. I was able to reset the Honeywell valve (with 4 flashing lights) using your instructions. Thank you for sharing!!! And the info too about not setting the thermostat too high will cause it to fault again.
You're welcome, 57. I'm glad the video and information helped you. Enjoy the hot water!
From Desoto Tx. Watched your video and it solved the problem. Follow her steps exactly as she gives and you will have your hot water working!!!
Thank you for uploading this.
I LOVE Texas, Eric. You're certainly welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and nice comment. It means a lot to me. Enjoy the hot water!
Holy cow, this worked perfectly for us! Thanks so much for the tutorial, saved us from buying a new gas valve for no reason! Awesome 👏🏻
You're welcome, Zach. Enjoy the hot water and Merry Christmas!
I had the same exact issue with my 6 year old Honeywell water heater and this worked perfectly, Thank You!!!
You're welcome, Ryan. I'm glad the video helped you.
OMG. That worked in like an instant. I thought I was going to have to get a whole new gas water tank. Thanks so much!! Great first video.
ke kanoski, wonderful news to hear that the reset worked for you! Thank you for the kind words, too.
Just a great video! I wish we had more that was laid out and explained like this !!!
Mark, thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
Came across your video after having the same issue. You are a true blessing thank you 😊
Thank you, John. That's kind of you to say. ;)
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I’m suffering right now with COVID-19 and wanted to take a hot shower. And I have guests from Hawaii that also are suffering from COVID-19. I followed your instructions and it worked!!! Mahalo Nui Loa!!!
You're welcome, Orlando. I hope you feel better soon. Enjoy the hot water!
I followed these steps and got the pilot to start! Thank you for your instructions!
You're welcome, Tracie! So happy the video helped you. Happy DIYing!
Thank You so much for posting this. I've re lite by pilot light before but when I saw the error code I thought I was for sure out of luck. I did a quick search and found this video. I can't believe how easy it was to fix. Everyone should know this trick. Thanks again.
You're welcome, and thank you. Enjoy the hot water!
I can’t believe that worked! I almost dumped a couple hundred dollars on repairs. Thanks!!
Thank you, you just helped us save elderly lady the cost of a new water heater.
That's wonderful to hear, Laurence. It truly is heart-warming to hear that. Merry Christmas!
Thank you and God bless you. You saved me alot of money. The reset on the 4 flashing Honeywell gas WH worked like a charm.
You're welcome, Kenneth, and bless you too. I'm glad the video helped you. Enjoy the hot water!
I dont know how to tell you How thankfull I am to you for saving me $$$$$ specially on this Holiday season. You explained detail by detail step by step. And tried it and boom burner ignited. Like some sort of trick. I really appreciate you making this video for a fool like me. Thank You again and God Bless you. You a life saver
Jose, bless your heart. Thank you for such a lovely and thoughtful comment, and you're welcome. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Enjoy the hot water.
Great video! Very clear instructions and this worked perfect for me. You’re a life saver!!
You're welcome, Mike, and thank you for the lovely comment. Enjoy the hot water!
Most helpful video on all of UA-cam... I've used, and needed it, 2 times in the last year
Thank you. I appreciate that. ;)
Thank you so much!! This saved me from another day of cold showers and the cost of a plumber! 🙌
Mine went out 9 months ago. This video helped last time, but I set it above "hot" because I don't like to listen. It went out again yesterday, and I came back to this video and got it going again just now. Thanks twice. Another day of not having to overpay a man to hit on me and do 45 seconds of work.
LOL! You're welcome, Laura C. I'm glad my video helped you get hot water. Enjoy it, and Merry Christmas!
Excellent video! Saved a call to the plumber/gas company! You ROCK!
Love hearing that you saved money! Thank you, Backlineguy, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and nice comment. It means a lot to me. ;)
Hello Frugal DIY, just had to find your video once more for some refresment , because I forgot the sequence every since 2 yrs ago. Thank you Again. Blessing to you & Fanily...
Hi, Joseph. Thank you, again! ;)
Thankyou so much !!! I have been fighting this hot water heater ever since we moved in and on my second gas valve and now this happened but glad I found your video !
You're welcome, Darrius. I'm glad the video helped you. Enjoy the hot water!
Thank you @frugaldiy1. The one step that I added before following these steps was to flush the water tank for about 15 minutes before following your troubleshooting tip. The manufacturer of the water tank had suggested that I flush the tank since there was about 9 years worth of build up in it and the sediment might have caused the failure in the first place. The burner came on and I am waiting for a few hours to make sure the burner stays on and heats the water as expected. Lifesaver!
You're welcome, Rohit. I'm glad you were able to get some hot water. Enjoy it!
@@frugaldiy1 - thankfully it was 65 degrees in Northern Virginia today (1/3/23) and I was also able to do the water tank flush otherwise I would not have been able to purge the (almost) nine year sediment build-up.
your videos are spot on ! you have the best on water heaters better that the other crazy others that resort to shorting with foil etc etc You also perfectly point out in your other video the W model ! again no one points this out clearly
Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words, firefly. They mean a lot to me. I'm so pleased you like the video and hope it helps you. Happy DIYing!
Thank you SOOO much!! This is one of the most well done, helpful videos I've ever watched!
Thank you, Travis. That means a lot to me. Enjoy the hot water!
Success!
Thank you very much!
Out of 5 videos that I found, (that weren't 52 minutes long, and ladden with unnecessary historic and technological comparisons), yours was the only one giving this solution. (and, by the way, the only one by a woman -- I am a guy, so I can point out this distinction, because, good advice is appreciated, wherever it comes from).
One guy was talking about, removing the PCB boared, and using tin foil to short it out, in order to reset the codes.
However, what you will also short out, following his instructions, is your warrenty!
No thanks.
With your steps, my water heater was up and running in, 10 + 10+ 10 seconds.
I will appreciate your help, each and every time I take a hot shower now.
Thanks again.
LOL. You're funny, crossbowmd61! It's always nice to hear that I could help someone with his/her DIY project. Enjoy your hot water!
Women always say the true a lot of man making videos how to repair it and anyone works.just you make the different thanks 🙏🏼
Cesar, you are very welcome! Thank you for the kind words. They mean a lot to me.
Thank you so very much! I was looking for a technician when i came across your video! You were a life (well shower) saver!
Let me just add this ---
If you have found this video, because you are having these same issues with your, "Honey-not-too-well" thermostat.
Look no further.
There is no need, spending time watching other videos - not, until you've, at least tried this solution.
The majority of other videos should just be deleted as useless - especially considering how direct, simple, and helpful this one has been, to so many people.
This should truley be listed, among those rare, "One and done" videos.
Multiply the number of people who have expressed their thanks here, (including myself), by the ballpark figure for new thermostats, (approx. $140), and you'll get a sense of how valuable this advice has been.
Once again, thanks.
crossbowmd61, I truly appreciate your kinds words and that you took the time to write them.
Thank You thank you thank you!!!
My water heater was out for a day and I tried to get it to work but nothing was happening. I had the four blinking lights. After watching your video, you made it so easy and I was able to relight my water heater. TY!
I love hearing that, Ndorfin13! You're welcome and enjoy the hot water. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for posting this video! ! It worked for my water heater and saved us money
Thank you so much. Followed the steps exactly as you said and we have hot water again!
Isn't that exciting! Job well done, Jim. Enjoy the well-deserved hot water!
Thank you so much, i saw other youtubes and all they say is replace the control valve on simple fix like this, thank you again for your help. This was a huge help to me!!
That's wonderful to hear, and you're welcome!
