Had the same issue about a year ago. Replaced the valve assembly and of course that fixed it. So glad i did a search and found this helpful video. Thank you!

Thank you so much! We had no hot water and I had messed around trying to get the pilot light to stay on but to no avail. I was about ready to pull out the thermocouple when I saw your video. I tried this fix and sure enough it stayed lit and worked fine. I will call Monday to see if I can get a new valve sent out under the recall. Much appreciated!

If the sensor is made to keep people from getting scalded, what is the temperature control button for ?

Mine did the same thing. Seen a video about it and after driving to Menards in the middle of the night to get a new thermocouple which didn't fix it, I removed the sensor, and it has worked fine for a year now.

Thanks so much for the video! I’m pissed though, because the only way to get the thermocouple to make contact…no matter how much I tightened it, was to wrap a wire around the control box to hold the thermocouple in place…forcing contact. I shouldn’t be having to take these jerry rigged measures on a 3 year old water heater

I took a t50 staple and connected those two wires on that plastic piece on top of the thermocouple. Great to temporarily use the heater. As long as the pilot stays lit your good.when my new one arrives I'm going try and splice the new one in instead of replacing the valve assembly

Great tip on how to temporarily fix it but don’t try to splice on the new “sensor” because the actual sensor is internal to the valve. Unfortunately you need to replace the entire thing.

That's why there is a brass connector between the copper and the sensor to prevent corrosion .

what does a fuse do. it senses a overload in a system and breaks so the system doesn't break. Key word Senses
