First, I want to say thank you for getting straight to the point with your video! One RUclips video was 11 min long!!!!! Just to light a water heater!..... This was my first time to light a water heater. I was super nervous, but I did it, thanks to you! My husband who recently passed away would have been so proud of me! THANK YOU!!
@@hoohoohoblinplumber forgot to light the pilot, he said he’d return but I’m proud to say I lit it myself with your video. Thanks so much and I can tell him, it’s all good, no need to return.
This is the perfect video. No introductions, no, “today we’re going to XXX” just a minute and five seconds of explanation, and then you stop. Absolutely perfect. thank you.
I'm a pretty good "general fix it" kind of guy, but I've had an irrational fear of water heaters since I was four or five years old... My mom told me to "never touch the red button" on our 1960's era water heater or it would "blow up the house".. So it took great bravery for me to attempt to relight the pilot light on my own Rheem water heater...your video saved the day and erased a lifelong terror of the water heater. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this!
Dude you were a life saver today!!! You never realize how much you take HOT water for granted until it's NOT!!! Thanks for the clear and concise instructions with minimal commentary...you were straight to the point!!!
Life saver. After hours of trying to figure it out myself, I followed your video and it worked! I seriously thought I was going to blow up clicking on it around 50 times
Thanks, got it working. Just for reference, I had to press the button 60 times before it finally lit, so if it feels like a lot, just keep plugging away and should eventually light.
You wrote this awhile ago but thanks for the heads up. You saved me money. I gave up twice. Looked up this video and saw your comment. Wasn’t 60 times for me but still more than a couple of dozen. Thanks for being mindful enough to share that with others.
I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for this video! My neighbors water heater went out last night and I figured out one of the wall fuses had burnt out (we have those old glass fuses) and changed that, but didn't know how to relight the pilot. Your video immediately got to the point and gave perfect instructions with the demonstration. I appreciate how quickly you got right to the point because people usually say " like my video and subscribe !" and then they tell a funny story which is great unless you're laying on the floor at 11 at night trying to figure out your neighbor's water heater. I will definitely "like" and subscribe though! Thank you!
Thanks for this video! When you say you need to press the igniter button a bunch of times, I had to press it over 20 times to get it to light. Even then it flashed a red error light seven times. It took another 10 attempts to get to a steady pilot light. For anyone with this problem, try this process exactly and press the igniter button until your blue in the face and then try it a few times more.
I have watched several videos about the same honeywell thermostat, but this video tells me to keep pushing the reset button several times, i did push several times & it lit!! Thank you for this detailed video!
THANK YOU! Ours just went off by itself for no good reason. Has only been installed a couple of years now. Have never lit this sort of pilot, nor have I had to do this for years. From their explanation on the unit I thought I had to take off the cover. Also, had no clue where that little igniter was. So, thank you for your help.
First of all THANK YOU for getting to the point, also, THANK You for the video! our water heater is in the Laundry of the apartment (so everyone has access) and one of the neighbors keeps turning it off before midnight (not manager or LL) and i get home from work at 3 am and always take a shower before bed, i was so happy to find this video AND i learned something i’ll never forget so thanks!
I just had a Performance brand water heater installed. It has a similar set up. It took 4 lighting attempts before we got the pilot on. According to the manual, this is normal after initial installation. We followed your instructions. Thank you for the clear and concise video.
You’re an Angel!!! Thank you from Chicago. We just got hit a couple times with bad storms and a mini tornado! To lose soooo many things, it was a relief to not have to replace a water heater too! Very much appreciated!! 💯🫶🏽♥️
Thank you WOW!! I was so upset realizing after a cold shower something was wrong. In 6+ years I have never had to re-light this!!! So you are not alone.... Word of wisdom: you may not be able to see the little flame once the pilot is lit, But once a blue light starts you are good!! Just turn the heat up and wait 20- 30-minutes. Done. Thank you to the guy who posted this. I thought I was looking at replacement or an expensive repair.
I just wanted to tell you that I'm a single female who has book marked this video and used it several times. When I go out of town, I turn off my water and gas and can't remember how to re light my pilot lot once a year or so, so I just watch this video and can successfully do this. Your video is just so simple and to the point. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this!! I finally did it and didn't have to call maintenance! Letting people know that it would take quite a few clicks was incredibly helpful. This might be the most perfect vid on here. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your helpful video, you are a life saver. Just one minute video but very efficient. One day without hot water, I just saw your video right now and followed all instructions. Waouhhh I light my water heater.
Life saver! Thanks for posting such a to the point, informative video on how to get the pilot light back on. Such a huge help in understanding how to fix this issue over just reading the instructions. I'm 6 years into this Rheem water heater and it's the first time something like this happened. Glad it wasn't a bigger issue.
I am so grateful for this video. We had our anode rod changed today and they forgot to re light the heater, so we are able to get it done off your video. Thank you.
Thank you, I did shut mine hot water heater off yesterday, trying to replace my whole house water filtration cartridge. Now I don't know how to get the heat back on. This information is very helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for this quick video. First time I had to light my water heater in 4 years. I was stressing a bit reading the manual but got to your video. Thank you very much!!
@@hoohoohoblin just wanted to ask, why would it just go out? I have a Rheem that has a pilot out right now. A friend came over, follow the directions of your video and the blue light came on intermittently, however it seemed like the pilot didn't really light. But the blue light did come on which makes me think we didn't wait long enough? It's night time now so I have to start in the morning and see if I can get it to start. Do you have any further suggestions since the blue light did come on intermittently earlier? As in could you tell me how I can get it to ignite once I see that blue light come on intermittently? Thank you
I am so appreciative of this video...saved me lots of money and grief. I'm a first time homeowner who has never ignited a pilot light on a water heater EVER!
OMG....!!!! Been trying all "Friggin" day n night. Then just going to bed thought I'd see if RUclips had any help...!! Low and behold after day and night. Just went out and lite it just like that what a life save for sure.... I diffidently will sleep better now...Thank you so much .
Thank you so much, this video help me a lot, I took shower last night with very cold water, and found your video today following your steps and it's working. Save my life and $
Absolutely life saver, day kept going without stop because of this video, I fixed my heater due to this video otherwise I would have been brainwashed by crazy mrktg people buying a new one for no reason. Truly I recommend this video for all home owners if they face the same issue.❤
Thank you because I was nervous about messing around with gas. After watching your video and reading comments I mustered up the courage to follow your instructions and after about 30-40 button presses the blue light started flashing then I could hear the “whoosh” from the unit starting up. If you would’ve never said you had to press it so many times I probably would’ve gave up after about 10-20 button presses.
Your a lifesaver! Single Mom her lol...Anyways, I just realized I wasent pushing down when holding button in, rather I was pushing in . I forgot this everytime I have to light the Pilot. Then I gomthrew RUclips videos after 10th time, and ur video saves me everytime!!...lol thanks again for video :-)
If you're having to click the igniter a lot. You probably just have air in line. Simply open your union for about 2 seconds or even better the cap on the bottom of the short pipe coming out of the bottom of the T right before the water heater control box. Gas will come out and you will smell it but it's only 2 seconds it won't hurt anything
Took me two attempts. I tried it once, felt uncomfortable after 9 pushes and then came to watch this video. Second attempt took 20 pushes. Thanks community.

As a first time homeowner who freaked out today when I woke up to cold water, I never felt so proud reigniting my water heater. Thank you!!
You’re welcome
Same thank you so much for the warning of it taking a while too ❤

You’re welcome
For real. I boiled water for about three days before finding this out. Smh.
When i do this it stays on for 10 secs approx then flashes red. What would cause that?
Life saver. After hours of trying to figure it out myself, I followed your video and it worked! I seriously thought I was going to blow up clicking on it around 50 times

60 times that's crazy.
Same here, it took like 40 times. Thank you for your comment it saved me time and money and sanity, what's left of it.
Thank you so much. I read your comment and decided to give it another try and it worked!

Thanks for this straightforward tutorial. Saved me a bunch of headaches trying to get a water heater re-lit in less than ideal circumstances.
You're welcome!

From the bottom of my heart, tons of thank you, it worked in a fraction of seconds. In the middle of the night, you saved our life.
You're welcome!

Thank you for a video. This helped me win an argument + saved my mother god knows how much money she would’ve spent on a plumber
By watching your video, I got the boiler turned back on less than 5 mins. Thank you!
Glad it helped
You saved us at least $100 call! I figured how to do it, but never imagined it would take 30 ignition clicks.
You’re a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for the instructions.
You’re welcome

You’re welcome
Thank you WOW!!
I was so upset realizing after a cold shower something was wrong.
In 6+ years I have never had to re-light this!!!
So you are not alone....
Word of wisdom: you may not be able to see the little flame once the pilot is lit,
But once a blue light starts you are good!! Just turn the heat up and wait 20- 30-minutes.
Done.
Thank you to the guy who posted this.

If you would’ve never said you had to press it so many times I probably would’ve gave up after about 10-20 button presses.
Glad it helped! It’s crazy that you have to push the button that many times, but sometimes that’s the case.
The BEST demo by far. Well done.
Thanks
Thank you for posting! Got it to work following your instructions to the letter. I found taking off the cover to be helpful to see the light ignite.

Then I gomthrew RUclips videos after 10th time, and ur video saves me everytime!!...lol thanks again for video :-)
You’re welcome. Glad I could help.
If you're having to click the igniter a lot. You probably just have air in line. Simply open your union for about 2 seconds or even better the cap on the bottom of the short pipe coming out of the bottom of the T right before the water heater control box. Gas will come out and you will smell it but it's only 2 seconds it won't hurt anything
Klutch after hours of messing with this dang heater waiting 10min to hours smh this worked in less then 1min with 2 pushes lol
🎉🎉🎉Thank you. I really needed this. You were amazing clicked it 6 times and it turned blue

Thank you. Couldn’t see the pilot light so thought I had to repeat steps but when I finally turned to a temp, the burner lit up.
