Your video makes it really simple, thanks for the refresher course
Have had problems with these Honeywells.
Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much for posting this video! You were a life saver. Your video is the only one I've found that shows the AO Smith and Honeywell combo that I have. I followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly and it was quick/easy. The hardest part was finding a pluming supply store that carried the replacement thermopile. ;) Thanks again.
Where did you find it
Thanks for the video. I didn’t trust the amazon part which wasn’t exact so I went with the part matched for the model from Sears parts direct. It came in 5 days. I used the old pilot tubing because some reason when I put on new tubing it leaked gas.
I appreciate you leaving out the monologue. This is exactly what I need.
You're welcome
Dude thank you so much not too many videos on this kind of thermocouple. Thank god I came across yours! 🙏🏻
You're welcome
Great tutorial! No fluff, no fat.
Ryan Lynch no shitty music 😓
Great job, perfect explanation
great video. Thanks
Great video, thanks.
My burner exactly the same. I replaced it and it worked like a champ. TY so much
You're welcome!
Also thanks for putting the link to it in the description you’re a savior!
You're welcome!
Inspect and be aware of tears in burner screens! Whirlpool/AO Smith has known issues w/ burner screen ruptures and Honeywell Gas Valve replacement (to help detect burner screen tears).
Thank You
Great Job!!!
It is really well made! Thanks
You're welcome
This is a really good video. Thank you.
You're welcome
Great video Chris, Ok now I remember gas furnace video they sand it and it work without replace a new one. I'm going to try tomorrow to sand thermocouple and see if it work but I do need to get a brand new one just in case.
I'm curious... Did sanding it work?
Great and helfull video
can i replace (or bypass) this electric thermocouple with the old thermocouple? my home depot only has the old ones... thank you
Thumbs up video thanks
Hi - I am trying to replace the thermocouple on an old gas water heater. I am having difficulty removing the burner assembly from the thermostat/gas valve fixture on the outside of the tank. I can't get the bolt on the pilot tube loose. The bolt seems to be a soft metal and now has a bunch of nicks, etc. from me trying to remove it. Questions: 1) Can this be a "left-handed thred screw" situation where you must turn the bolt CLOCKWISE to LOOSEN? 2) Should I be using a FLAT adjustable wrench instead of toothed adjustable wrench? 3) Is there anything that the pros use that would help "grab" the nut better and leave fewer nicks - something like a kitchen jar gripper comes to mind. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!!!
Great video!saved me from calling a plumber and a lot of money thanks
You're welcome!
where can I get the complete part for ao smith 40 300 thermocouple? i bought one on ebay, but it does come with the electrical wire thermocouple like on this video. please help.
Thanks! Great video!
Where did you get the part. I can’t find one for my model heater
Very much appreciate this video.
thanks
Sos pls!where do you buy this part?i need it asap.
Where is the part # located. Great video. Can you just replace the thermopile?
Thanks
Mine went out ( no stays light)today..I was about to replace the thermocouple..... Am glad I called the manufacturer and help me troubleshoot it...he told me to reset the tiny black button an d it works again
How did you reset it?
@@vickyiannucci6630 from the gas valve on the right there's a white and red wires follow down and you'll see a solenoid ..there s a tiny button ..push it.
what’s the name of this type of burner? the nozzle is different from the disk burner which is inside underneath , in the center of the tank.
also is that a thermocouple? or a heat sensor? i thought new units didn't use thermocouple...
Good job very good video
jose lepe .
Ok...I have a brand new (installed yesterday) water heater with this valve that will not light the main burner. It has 2 flash thermopile,low voltage code. I replaced the brand new pilot assembly with a brand new pilot assembly and it still won't light the burner. Pilot works fine. What's up with that?
had to like and history when i will need it thanknyou
This is exactly like my mine. I found the part calling the number on my water heater
We’re you successful?
Currently installing mine and afraid when the pilot flame lights up lol looks like it’s burning inside.
@@i_Gotcha_ yes.
@@maschngon I had a thermocouple issue on the old one. And I tried cleaning it with emery cloth and was able to fire the pilot and get a flame. But the flame was out of control and too big so I had to buy a new assembly of the thermocouple. So I’m hoping it’ll work. Was it as easy as it looked after watching this video?
@@i_Gotcha_ the warranty send me new everything I unscrewed it and replaced all new updated. New burner and thermocouple. And it was very Easy
Nice Job - - Thanks -
You're welcome!
there are two red and two black wires coming out of my natural gas reliance 606 hot water heater and there is only 2 plug-in spots on my Honeywell gas control valve where do these wires hook in
If the pilot flame is on the side, it would not be easy to light up the main gas nozzle. Why the pilot flame is not near the main gas nozzle in the middle?
The water heater I have doesn’t have a thermos witch but the thermopile assembly I bought has wires for thermoswitch.. can i still use it .. o what I do with the wires for them I switch
Good job
Thanks
My water heater don't have those sensor wires you unplugged?
Pilot lights up, but not status light comes on, and pilot turns off when black knob is released.
That means the thermocouple needs to be replaced.
me ahorre tiempo en buscar en Amazon. El número de parte del termocopler y problema era de a 90 grados o más temperatura afuéra está el boiler y se apagaba en tiempos de Verano en California thank.
Chris, please let us know where you bought the parts from?
Hello Edward, has Chris told you the part number and how he purchase the part?
What was your original problem? I have 5 lights flashing which means sensor failure. Not finding much info on the web about my issue. Any help would be appreciated.
khanghis Keenan I think this one is for 2 flashes
What was the initial problem with the water heater? Mine does not flash any lights or anything. Do you think this is my problem. I was gonna change the whole gas valve.
maddhattery562 no sorry, I haven't called anyone out. But as soon as I do find out something I'll leave a comment here. Sorry I couldn't be any more help at this time. Hi f you get any information before I do, could you leave a comment? Thanks!
You forget something real important, if you see the green staff on the burner screen is mod you need to clean it with a wire brush otherwise the light indicator will tell you to replace it the burner
thanks for the additional insight!
good video, a bit laborious. How much on average will a plumber charge for doing this job?
+Alejandro De Miranda ..but, what's the fun in that?
When I google estimates for labor ranged from 125 to 150 for an hours work.
Is there a trick to re-threading the pilot tube and gas tube -- I am having a hell of a time getting them to re-thread!
I'm having the same problem. Any suggestions?
@@Christina926- I started to reverse the threads and felt the fitting seat. Then I immediately threaded the fitting into place . tightly. I hope this helps 🙂
6 flash error means burner fail. after replace burner assembly , water heater start work but fail again after 3days. Could you tell me what is wrong?
Need new themostat
how do you unplug the red/white wires that go into that black plastic box? 0:41 seconds in and it just disappears without explanation.
it pulls out...the whole plastic housing. just gotta wiggle it a bit. I used some needle nose to grab the plastic. little tugs and it came out. I was hung up on that at first too.
I have the same type of burner assembly you have for your water heater. I have an issue removing that burner assembly after the 2 screws were removed. Seems like the assembly if catching onto something preventing it from sliding out. Any ideas?
I know it's been a long while since you posted this comment.. curious... were you able to remove it?
@ChrisAsipyan I was never able to slide out the burner assembly. It was caught on something inside, I assume. Seems like the manufacturer did a terrible job assembling this water heater.
I have the same looking water heater with the honeywell assembly. My pilot lite won't stay on. Gonna call the 1800 number tomorrow unit is only 4 years old. Great video what was your original problem...
Jack Gilbert i think I'm having the same issue as u. After the pilot lights and the gas valve blinks, i turn the nob to hot. It turns on for 30 sec then die. What was ur problem?
The thermocouple. Depress the button on the rear to reset it
Jack Gilbert Did you replace the thermocouple?
Would there be or some type of white substances like cement PVC cement or glue or corrosion where you unscrew the lines from
I'm unsure
This water heater does not have a thermocouple. It has a thermopile!
Lol. They actually have both. Thermopile is the energy source of a water heater and the thermalcouple tells the gas to keep flowing because it detects the heat source from the pilot light.
Thermopile is just 2 thermocouples boys
How important is the chamber sensor when replacing the gas valve regulator
I'm unsure, perhaps someone can chime in on this?
My flame in the background looks super red and burning the back part? But not burning it just super red flames when turned to hot or to A & B
We're you able to get more insight about this?
Thanks for the video chris
Where did you buy the right replacement?I don't see it on Amazon.
Hi, I have linked the part I used on Amazon in the description of the video. However, you may not have exactly the same heater as me. It would be best to get the model number of the part you need and search for that exact same one you need.
i cannot break loose the manifold tube. it feels like if i turn too hard, i will break the control panel. any suggestions?
Yes it is very tight,I did mine yesterday and I used a small pipe extension to break it loose. Put your other hand holding the gas valve while the other hand loosening the manifold nut. I hope this help
Option 2 is that you can spray some wd40 around the thread first then use my procedure
why didn't you show how the red/white wire clip comes off?
Camera malfunction :)
I cannot find the same control valve case even with the same model, serial and so on #'s The temp sensor connector won't fit or there is not spot for it. I wish I could send a picture. I have searched high and low for a matching part or even an adaptor. Can anyone help please?
That's unfortunate, were you able to find it?
From the glass window I see no spark
where did u buy that piece . i didnt see it athome depot
MAKE MONEY they sell this piece at Lowes.
Vaughn Ross did Lowes sell the whole assembly as shown in the video. I checked their website and couldnt find it.
what was that green stuff on the burner screen? Mine looked the same except upon igniting the burners it sound like that green stuff was dripping on the burner screen and sizzled. I thought my tank was leaking water. It must be coming from the center vent hole of the tank. Can anyone shed some light in this issue? It also clogged my screen causing the system to shut down.
Condensation as the tank starts to heat, it drips and is normal. The green is mineral build up from water boiling off when it hits the burners, all normal. You can take vinegar and scrub brush and clean it off if you like. Dry it off afterward.
@@williamkeith8944 Thanks Keith. This must be the most expensive burner out there. This type burner should be used in a temperature controlled space that is above 32 degrees to avoid constant condensation dripping on the burner. Had to remove and clean five times during the winter.
Am I missing how to pull the red and white wires? You don’t seem to have them. Mine are to the right on the module in the input that is empty?
I might be using a different model heater
Do I have to take out all the water before doing this?
Nope... Just turn off the supply going into the tank by closing the valve nearby
@@ChrisAsipyan Thank you 🙏
Excellent video. More like this and I'll be a plumber. lol
Are they really going to leave it on 'C'??.
I'm sure "C" is just to heat the water up quickly. "A" is almost too hot.
Where can someone buy this part?
James Cox
Have a question about this, I did all the steps as explained. But when I turn it into in the temperature to hot. ( not A B C VERY HOT) it’s turns off. Normal blinking just once. when I restart it same thing. What could be the problem?
Shareing my experience and frustration.
brand new AO Smith gas water heater purchased on 13May2019 from Lowe's model # G12-UT4040NVR 400
serial 1910113979916
Manufactured 03/05/2019
after installation each time burner kicked in loud scary noise occurred, and burner even shut off.
turn out to be a defected burner.
since under warranty A O Smith Provide two Pumbling company to contact which they have service contract.
3 days later replacement burner installed no more noise.
than on 25May2019 noticed small gas leak from honeywell control valve at the top of the plastic box.
gas company technician detected the leak even sniffer alarm didn't sound off. however technician still red tagged and turn off the gas supply to the tank.
due to long holiday weekend our family without hot water until Tuesday as A O Smith provided replacment part# 100093971
and warranty labor reference work order # unfortunately technician not available until Tuesday 28May.
sincerely hope no more additional issue with this A O Smith gas water heater.
Thermopyle..
I hate this kind of cheap build thermostat within 2 years it just doesn't light up, the square metal one last for a long long time. Now home depot don't carry it no more.
Video doesn’t show what part you actually replaced....
The thermopile. Watch it again
Replacement part here: amzn.to/2n7WdFW
Some of you may have this one: www.supplyhouse.com/AO-Smith-100281571-Thermopile-Assembly
That's not the replacement thermopile as shown on your video. The one on the link has a cord to the switch. Yours in the video does not have a switch.
Your link is incorrect. The thermopile in your link is for a burner with the switch. Yours in the video does not have a thermoswitch. Wrong link.
This part isn’t an exact replacement, but it will work. You just need to cut off the two connectors on the end of the red wires and splice the two ends together. I soldered the wires together, but a simple wire nut will work just as well. I did the install this morning and the pilot stayed lit on the first try.
@@jburkett83Thank you for the information, I am going to try to see if it works.
It’s a thermopile, a thermocouple has a capillary tube not wire and it’s smaller….
Thanks for the additional information 👍

I hate that your watching and then it jumps to the fast forward of what was going on, or onto the next step. its like wait....what happened...good video but i would have liked to seen it all...struggles and all to know what to expect.n No need to try and make a perfect video everyone knows some things are not that easy, This would have and could have shown how the struggle is but to keep going. Thank you for the video though
Such a shame that Honeywell builds such trash , Brand new unit installed and failed the first day . No voltage from Thermopile . I look at the design and it is horrible . Such a critical part of a Water heater and poorly designed . And I have talked with many guys whom have had the same problem . Naturally Mine happened the last days of December , Hard work for an old man to bring a Water heater up into his Attic and change it out . Disgusting to say the least . So now I go to Lowe's and buy a new Thermopile if they have one . The Unit would run a while and shut down , I watches as I lost voltage from the Thermopile , now zero Voltage, naturally the status light will do nothing . The igniter works fine and it did produce Hot water for an on and off period , then finally quit . Makes me so angry that America is producing such garbage by the thousands .
Man. You saying that naturally the status light will do nothing cuz the thermopile is bad!!!!! Made sense since it cant get any voltage to power the status light!!!! Now I know what to buy. Was worried it was gas valve. Thank you. That helped me mote than anything cuz my main concern was that damn light not working and was thinking it was gonna cost 150 vs the 31.99 for the thermo assembly!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's HONEYWELL, they're bit really an American company anymore. But they're easy to fix
Also you can clean thermopiles sometimes it'll work again
This digital system is a trashed equipment. Thank God a friend tell me about the TITAN water heater factory in Hialeah ( Dade county, Miami FL) and one for ally trouble with this Honeywell digital shit go away.
Takes just minutes......
I am about to replace my 18-year gas water heater. I prefer the old reliable gas valve, not the new fancy electronic valve. I know not to put gasoline in the basement, so I have never had a fire or explosion. The new fancy valves will cost more and will be less reliable. This is not progress.
Like I said. Everything is on RUclips lol.
No fucking way was that nut that easier to loosen. Mine was so tight, I have to put a wrench on the left to keep the control valve module from twisting.
Good idea about using a second wrench to keep it from twisting!
Honeywell will be sued for all of the problems these units have.
so those wires...do I rip them out ?..pry em off?...I watch these videos to get a step by step idea on "how to"...but to skip steps kind of defeats the purpose of the "how to" video....but thats just me...im a complete imbecile who needs step by step verbatim explanation...shouldn't be doing these kind of projects in the first place...lol
Paladin Garcia any tips on this? Can't get past this step. Don't wanna break the wiring apparatus.
needle nose pliers, grab top and bottom and pull straight out.
I'm a woman and it very easy for me to tell my 2 years ago they were 17 and 18 sons what to do, now they're both working full time and school, 12 hrs from now I had to go and do it.
@@thetyleraugust look on you tube for tutorial on unplugging wiring connectors. Use your head and work the problen.
@@williamkeith8944 haha this was 3 years ago. Everything worked out 💪
Just think about all the crap they force us to learn in high school when we should be learning things like this and other life skills issues. I told my friends Sons and Daughters to go into the trades, don't get a bunch of college debt. Look at how much a plumber makes per hour!
this is called a thermopile...not the same as thermocouple
Thanks for the insight!
If anyone is freaking out about their status light. Like I was and watched 100 vids. Its the damn thermopile. Thermopile us where the status light gets it voltage from!!!! Its not hard ppl. Just turn off the gas. When u hook everything back up, dont tighten the nuts for the valves too tight cuz then u will have to get a new honeywell piece of shit gas valve!!!
People I had to replace my Sears Kenmore in warranty Gas Valve. Sears wanted to charge me to have a service call to replace this valve that's still under parts warranty of 6 years .I explained to them that I am very handy and would replace it myself, they refused to send the part with out the service charge .I ordered the part paid for it and replaced it myself . So this is why Sears is going out of business they where once a great company years ago but they are to STUPID to understand what they need to do to keep there Customers Happy for return business. People DO NOT Buy Appliances from Sears .I hope Amazon gets in the Appliance game soon and put another nail in Sears coffin .Thanks for reading my review
Around the 4:33 mark you skipped over an entire section of replacement of the thermocouple. What good was this video? What a joke.
I think I did alright... Refer to the many people who thanked me in the comments of this video and you might answer your own question.
@@chrisbike so where did you find the part at?
