Browning Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 First, the washer decides to take a shit, not that big of a deal, except being short on cash. Today I wake up and go to get a shower, no hot water, wtf? So I go down and have to relight the pilot on the water heater. Thought it was strange becuase that was the second time in a week that it has went out. Wait for it to heat up, get a shower. after I get out I went down to check on it, and yup, it's out again. I relit the fucker 5 times today. I do believe it has a leak. shit like this pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Your heater pilot going out was most likely from the 40+ mph winds yesterday. I wouldn't give up on it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desperado Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's a good possibility that your thermocouple might be going bad. It's a $10 part that will cause all sorts of discontent. If this keeps up I would try changing it before you swap the whole water heater. As far as the washer, what is it doing? They ain't all that complicated and you shold be able to fix it if you are able to wrench on a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 is you hot water heater outside or something? most are in the basement. The wind comes in through the heater vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 The new house has a tankless water heater. I didn't figure out what was causing it at my old house until I was ready to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 No, it's not due to the wind. The pilot wont even light at all now.
