How To Light AO Smith Water Heater With Honeywell Gas Valve

- This video will show you how to light your AO Smith water heater with a Honeywell gas Valve. If your pilot light is out on your AO Smith water heater with the Honeywell gas valve chances are the wind blew it out. This video is for the AO Smith with the Honeywell Gas Valve. The Honeywell gas valve will show an error code to show the problem with the water heater. I have other videos that will show you how to light water heaters with different gas valves.
Honeywell Gas Valve Model # WV8840B1158
Honeywell Gas Valves similar models: WT8840B1000, WV8840B1109, WV8840B5077, WV8840B5068, WV8840B1037
This valve is also used in Reliance, Bradford & Rheem Water Heaters

Man me and my mom watched this video and read the comments ,first then we ran to the water heater and one minute later we had hot water. God bless you we are so grateful
Glad you were able to get the water heater working.
I know this is an old video but you just saved me in 2024! It’s the weeked and no of the maintenance workers are answering thank you so much
Same! Thank goodness for this video!
Great to hear!
Glad it helped!
Omg, thank you so much for posting this video. Single mom here with 2 kiddos and need hot water in the dead of winter. Very easy to follow your video. So helpful!
Same here ❤
Me too!
Me too!
Yeah me too
THANK YOU SO MUCH! New, clueless, first time home buyer here. noticed my shower wasn't all that warm this morning and finally realized the water heater wasn't making any noise and the little status light wasn't on at all. within 15min you solved my issue and now my heater is back on and I know I did it safely. There's so much to learn but I'm excited to go on this journey.
I just lit mine ,thank you so much ,I sure didn't want to wait till Monday to call a service person,you are a life saver !
I’ve been at my water heater for about an hour and a half trying to light it, this video was spot on with getting it lit, thank you so much
Thank you so much! I watched a few other videos before I found this one, and they didn’t help at all! However, I followed your simple instructions and my water heater started!
Thank you so much! New homeowner, clueless to something this simple. Super happy it worked!
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for this video! My grandpa wanted me to read the step by step an translate in spanish for him but it was so complex for me Im so glad you posted this video! Totally made it so much easier for us!!🙏🏻🙏🏻😇 God bless!!
Thank you very much sir. My basement flooded and I’m still learning the ropes of homeownership. The instructions on the unit were not serving me well but your video got me going!
Omg, you're a life saver. I had like a week without any hot water, I would take the coldest of showers. I'm in California and this record cold weather was insane!
I tried video after video and none of their methods worked. I was finally going to give in and call someone to fix it. But I thought, "just 1 more video then I'll call someone." Yay, it worked! Hot water shower here I come! 😅 THANK YOU!
yer the man...your instructions worked, the one's printed on the damn water heater didnt....Thnak YOU
Agreed. After 20 minutes on hold for the AOC number, I just hung up and followed your instructions and all was well! Thank You very much--appreciate it.
Another satisfied customer! The thirty seconds holding was the key. Still took 45 seconds to a minute to work. I had no lights or anything until it just lit and turned blue. It was a new install so I would have sworn it was broken. They need better instructions for this. Thanks very much for the video and all you guys in the comments.
Thank you for the excellent instructions. My husband passed away recently, so I've been kind of stuck trying to do things for myself or having to pay to have them done. Yesterday my sump pump stopped working in the basement causing about 3 ft+ of water flooding it, got that dealt with, and the water out of the basement, went to take a bath and, no hot water, UGGGG lol. Yelp, the flooded basement got high enough to put out my pilot light. Thanks to you though it is back up and running and I should be able to get a good, relaxing, well deserved, hot bath soon.
I am very sorry! You definitely have a lot on you plate. I think after yesterday you need a vacation. I sure hope that life gets easier for you. I truly wish you the best!
TY
You are THEE man! God bless. We've had a natural disater here in GP MI and this has give me hope as the light blinked on for a few moments which is more than I've gotten all day.
Life saver! I woke up in need of a a shower and it was freezing! Thank you so much
Thank you for this video!! The thought of a lot flame and gas SCARES the BEJEEBIES outta me but this was so simple and easy to follow!!
You are so welcome!
Excellent instructions, this is a concise, orderly video.
Our pilot went out, right as my daughter was taking a shower. She was complaining as usual, though in this case it was understandable.
I was unable to figure out how to light the pilot and I was unable to find the instruction manual. I also called a service provider but as it was after hours no one was available.
My son was clever, he looked for instructions and guidance for us. Using this video we were able to relight the pilot, saving us money on a service call, and more importantly, ending my daughter’s complaints.
Me too…my plumber didn’t answer the phone on the weekend and thanks the video and we can get hot water back in no time.
Merry Christmas to you and your beloved 🎄
This is soooo helpful to a novice homeowner like me. Thank you for posting this video.
Used this video guide twice, flawless everytime
Omg thanks man. I tried it many times and it didn't work, I try your method and BAM! It works. Thanks! Saved me from an awkward conversation with my boss.
Thank youuuuu soooooo much. This video was so effective and easy to follow. I'm a new home owner and this saved me a money of not having to get a someone to help me fix the problem. God bless
It’s 11 degrees outside. My status light is operating fine. It’s a red blink every 3 seconds. I don’t have a drop of hot water.
I've watched other videos and yours was the only one that was able to help me turn it on
Thanks a million. They sure have made things much easier water heater wise. Great video.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! Spent almost thirty minutes fighting it just trying to read the instructions, which are not well written, and got it done before the video was even over
Great to hear!
Thank you!!!! I’ve watched other videos on this unit in the past and I still had issues. Yourmethod worked on the first time.
Glad to hear it worked, they can be stubborn.
Thank you so much! I’m a single woman who recently inherited my late father’s home. Your instructions were super easy!❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
@@sellgooddeals-DIY thanks for the video on by chance do you have a video on how to do a hard reset of these valves?
Thanks man, straight to the point and 100% effective.
Thanks for the note on holding it for 30+ seconds. Really key!
Thank you for watching!
Thank You, video was so helpful, just had to depress the ignitor button a few times more.
God bless you! It started right away. This video is very helpful!!!
I like videos like this get to the point and make it really easy to follow.
This video was a life saver for me last night With my husband not home for a few day. Thank you!
Great Job!!
OMG THIS REALLY WORKED!!! I had been trying since last night to light it but was watching videos saying you don't need to hold down the controller well UMMMM it works if you DO HOLD IT DOWN!!! and hold it down after for about 30 seconds ... thank you so much for this video!!
Liked and subscribed. Read the instructions on the water heater and was completely confused. Watched the video and 2 minutes later the gas kicked in the water is getting hot. I am the hero of the house right now, but I am gladly sharing the credit with you!!!
Thanks for liking and subscribing, I really appreciate it. Glad you got your water heater working again.
Just watched and easily re-started my water heater. THANK YOU for such an easily understood video!
Glad it helped. Have a great day!
You saved me! Official instructions didn't work, and a couple plumbers said they wouldn't work on this model, so I was in the process of calling around when I found this. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thank you! I was afraid something would need replacing. I followed your video and the pilot light lit right up.
Great Job!
Thank you for this video. Our hot water heater went out today 001/08/2022. With your video we were able to get it back on. Thanks again!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent, amazing, wonderful and extremely clear explication! Thanks you so much!
Thank you SO much, you saved us lots of money. God Bless you for your patience and sharing with us.
I am glad the video helped you with your water heater. Thank you for watching!
I used this video after a wind storm and it worked the first time just as described but if your having issues not getting the boiler to light continue holding the pilot button down while pressing the electric ignition every second until the white light starts flashing then switch it to the desired temp setting. I had to hold for about 1 minute and click 20 or more times before it lit the pilot on a windy day.
GOD BLESS YOU. Your instraction is the most easy to follow. I wish you were my school teacher.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you!! You saved me plenty of money. I had already replaced this control a couple of years ago.
What a bummer that you already had to replace one. They can be very stubborn! Thanks for watching!
You're awesome. I have this same unit and the instructions to relight the pilot are very vague. I was able to get it relit thanks to you. It started with an error code and then went to normal procedure.
They really are quite vague.
Well I've lit my NEW propane/LPG before and it lit off fine. This last time when I tried it wouldn't light. I waited the 10 minutes twice and it still wouldn't light. This time I tried your method, except I only waited 20 seconds and it lit on around the 4th push. Thanks so much, warm showers tonight! Best Wishes and Blessings. Keith Noneya
Great job!
You save my day on my job! THANKS
Thank you so much, no clue what so ever with water heater, this saved me $$ and stress. You saved the day.

Great job! They can be a real pain lighting them.

I came across your video after a few and I am so happy I did bc it works after other fails! You didn’t have to do this but we are grateful you did!! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Thank you very much!! Holding pilot button down for 30 seconds was the key for me. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Amazing, excellent video. it worked. Very useful,Short and easy. Thanks.
You are awesome. Strait and to the point!
The Honeywell gas valve gets its power from the thermopile. The thermopile needs the flame from the pilot light to generate the power. It takes around 30 seconds.for the Honeywell gas valve to get powered up. The status light will start blinking once it is running.
Thanks for showing this video!
Thank you soooooo very much. You saved my family 👍👍🤗
Thank you mister I very appreciated
I just did it and it works 🙏
Thank you for making this for us non technical people
Thank you for watching!
This worked great. Thank you. I couldn't figure out why it was struggling so much to re-light.
Glad it helped!
Your a life saver. I was afraid at first that i was going to explode but this video saved me alot of trouble
Great Job! These can be a real pain to get started. Give yourself a pat on the back.
you really helped us out today. Thanks !
Dude! YES! Thank you so much!! Can I just say, I tried a bunch of videos where these dudes apparently loved the sound of their own voices more than solving the problem! Every video I watched gave zero useful information. As soon as I saw the 2:53 timestamp, I knew you were my guy! Thank you so much! I can now take a now shower again! You are the best, my man!
Rock on!
@@sellgooddeals-DIY Thanks again, buddy! You are the best!
This video and the explanation was very useful, it helped me today. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the video!!
I have the same equipment but I found that when I hit the igniter button more than once, the pilot went back out. One hit was enough for my igniter. It all worked out. Thanks for this helpful video.
Thanks for the info
Thank you, woke up after a big wind storm to no hot water with a new water heater, and these instructions worked like a charm!
