Heater is in a closed garage. no wind. It's brand new. Flexible gas line is new from existing pipes to new unit. Once a week, or so, the unit turns off, and I need to restart the pilot flame. Inconsistency is a brain teaser here. It'll light right up, turn on and heat fine, then on thursday, when the wife gets into the shower, eeeeeeeee, it aint hot anymore.
Bradford White's web site suggests: Check the resetable thermal switch, (where's that? and what does it look like?) venting (is OK), air supply (is OK), gas valve magnet (don't know about this one), gas pressure (is fine, I have gas kitchen appliances and they work good), and for dirt in the pilot orifice (Possible, but it's a new unit. It oughta be clean...)! |
