This helped get my water heater going again! It took a few time pressing the spark button while holding down the pilot knob, but it eventually worked. Thank you again!!

Your demo is much more helpful than their instructions. I thank God for your video.

[jovijohnson]

Even 5 years after you made this video this video has helped me very much appreciated and I hope your business and your knowledge continue to help people thank you

This is the best DIY lighting video I’ve seen yet very informative and simple, others scare you with all the precautions and safety do’s and don’ts thank live saver

[edwardreilly]

Thanks for detailed description - showing the pilot light turning off - and pilot light turning back on. That’s really helpful. It’s the details that are super important - and now I have hot water agin.

[BartFriedmanvideos]

I watched a few of these and you are the most articulate person I've seen and made the best video.

Since I lost my hubby last yr I look on YT for solutions. So thanks so much for making it easy for me. I did Babe!!

We just went through Hurricane Milton in Sarasota, FL. The wind blew out our pilot light and we couldn't restart it. After watching your video, it started right up. Thank you so much for making this 😊

[edwardreilly]

Also. I could not bend down to check the window if pilot light was lit - so I used my iPhone camera to view what was going on in that window - and that was really helpful. I got that trick from your video.

If you couldn't find the pilot flame, then try again by looking the left side and right side of the water heater though that little glass door. My pilot flame is so small and located further on the right side and I missed it on 3 times by looking on the left side all the time. I was upset because my water heater is just only 2 years old; so after watching this video and read some comments and one comment emphasized about that, then I went back to do the same procedure and Bingo! I found the pilot flame which is located on the right side. Man, my water heater is alright and thanks for this video. I don't want to spend $900 again.

I now understand what someone feels like who has never held a gun. I was always afraid to even look at a water heater wrong for fear of it exploding, much less, playing with the controls like this man is doing.

I've fixed my water heater by watching your video, thanks!

[imadvlgrl]

Thanks for this video. I wasnt sure how many strikes was okay. And the other comments about looking more to the right saved me. I turned off the light and used a flashlight so I could see it better and it lit right away!

[FRAKROD]

Thank you for your video, it really helped me a lot. I had no water running in my house and the water heater was off. As soon as I did exactly what you described in the video I had water again. Thank you very much

[Snoop-tb]

Thanks so much!! Simple sweet and to the point, but also very educational.

[pbv]

Thanks alot.
Watching your instruction gave me more confidence now to how do it myself re-lighting the Pilot Lamp.
My Water Heater is now Back to Normal

[altusshow]

I watched a couple of these videos and yours was the easiest an most detailed of all of them. Thanks, very helpful.

[kryssiswift]

Omg I was so scared to light my water heater. There is no striker. I found this video after I got it lit, but I'm still so glad I watched it. I appreciate you explaining everything in great detail. Thank you!!!

[CarmenGonzalez-nmgf]

I agree with the others, I looked to other videos and you make it so simple that I was able to relight my water heater Thanks 🙏🏽

[JohnWright]

Thanks so much for the instructional video! Watched several videos on this and they said how to relight but didn't explain each piece and what they were for! Easy to understand. Thanks again!
