Worked like a charm. To Clarify to everyone

Step 1: Move Red Switch on ignitor from ON to OFF
Step 2: Unplug Blower motor from wall outlet
Step 3: Turn Red knob to Low (ignitor will STILL BE IN OFF POSITION)
Step 4: Plug in blower motor to wall outlet
Step 5: Move Red switch on ignitor from OFF TO ON
Step 6: Move red knob from Low to VERY HOT 7 Times
Step 7: You will hear a click of the ignitor turning on, then move dial back to B (or desired temp)

Nadeem, you are the MAN!!! The user manual said to replace the vapor sensor which I did, but it still flashed 7 times. I then took the thermostat controller apart and it was in mint condition and I didn't believe it was bad. I began thinking there has to be some reset sequence which is when I searched and found your video. Thanks Bro, you made my night!

A year after your post and you're still helping people like me out.

Awesome! It works. Thanks for the video. One step you forgot to mention is that after plugging, we have to turn the switch back on and then turn the know 7 times. Thanks a lot!

Thank you, Nadeem!! You saved us thousands on a new water heater!!

[AskDIYDad]

Amazing. I was super skeptical watching this that you were just messing with people but that 100% corrected it and my water heater is heating once again. Thank you!

Had a brief power outage and no hot water after. Followed your directions and the machine started up no problem. Thank you.

Nadeem, you are the man! Wish I would've done this last time, cost me quite a few bucks for a technician to come and fix it. Thanks much, you provide a very worthy service.

Thank you very much. I have the same waterheater i heard it click on the 5th time. But i did ot 7 times anyway. So far so good

Some additional discovery for folks that find this excellent video of Nadeem's. My water heater, which my brother-in-law and I installed over a year ago, started demonstrating this symptom. Nadeem's excellent video was instrumental in helping me reset the heater. But, the symptom persisted to the point where this was occurring several times a day. Fortunately, the heater was still under warranty for both parts and labor. (YAY!) But the folks at Rheem said that if there are various fumes in the area, the sensor inside the valve (the little control box Nadeem is fiddling with in the video) will shut the heater off as a safety precaution. In my case, the sensor had failed. The sensor in the valve has now been replaced, and the heater is back to full function.

Thank you! It worked! We are back up and running!

You just saved me $$$ thank you so much for putting out this video

Thank you so much Nadeem for making this video. My water heater tank looks exactly like yours. Your instructions (plus turning it back on after plugging it back in, Thank you commenters) worked perfectly. I think I heard mine click on after 5 turns though, I'm not sure. Burner was pretty quiet. My AC unit was on making it harder to hear. Manufacture date is 1/2019.

Thank you! This worked first try! Was not wanting to call tech on a Saturday night. You were the first video I found. My husband watched this and did exactly as you said and it worked! Many thanks!

[Linda-squs]

Love the video, easy simple direction, saved me a lot of money from having someone come out to fix. Worked like a charm, thank you for your posting....

[chadovermyer]

I thought this has to be a joke when I watched it. But sure enough, it worked! Motor kicked right back on. Hopefully I’ll have hot water again by morning. Thank you!

THANK YOU NADEEM! Just had that happen after a power outage and was terrified I was gonna have to call a technician out.
