On my Honeywell thermostat control for water heater the red light is not working at all so pilot won't stay lit. No status light on at all.

Some time ago I had that happen and because of the age my repair man said it would cost too much to repair it. The problem was a worn out thermostat.

Rheem 42VP50FW won't light? Ignitor lights though

The three most common reasons for this happening to you are 1) a defective gas valve, 2) a rusty thermopile, and/or 3) the automatic shut-off not working as it should. So, the most common reason for many people having this problem stems from having a gas valve that is not working as it should. When your gas control valve is faulty, it will mean that your burner is not going to be igniting as it should-or at all. Something that worked for me one time was to turn the Temp all the way down then all the way to Max a couple of times..gradually. Why it worked I don't know. Got a couple more years out of it though. Good luck! Best to you.

What is causing natural gas smell from water heater?

The obvious thing that could cause this is a leak in the burner assembly/connection. You wrote that there are no leaks. Normally, you would check for leaks in joints before turning on a gas appliance. However, in this case there is a BASO valve involved which restricts gas from the joint until the burner is lit. Did you test for leaks before you lit the main burner? If so than you did not test the joint, because no gas is present yet. The burner must be on to test the line. If this is the case then gas will continue to leak all the time the burner is on. And cause a very dangerous situation, because it is likely that the reason you think it is a single puff is because the mercaptan (odorant that is added to otherwise odorless NG gas) could drop from the joint down past the intake vents and be sucked into the combustion chamber reducing the "smell" in the room. However, gas rises because it is lighter than air and the room could be filling with now less odorous gas. This is a long explanation of a simple solution. . . which is check the joint to the main burner/BASO valve when the burner is ON. If there is no leak there than you should shut the thing down and call a plumber "Tout de suite". Otherwise use Rector Seal and reseat the joint.

Pilot won't stay lit and it yellow while holding the button. It goes out upon release of the button regardless of how long button is depressed.

I had the same thing happen to me. It ended being the control. The control coil was faulty. The heater was only two years old. I tried the same things that you have.

After an electric heavy duty auger treatment performed by professional plumbers, toilet still will flush too slow even when it is only water.

Do you mean the water drains too slowly causing the pan to fill up or the cystern won't fill fast enough from the mains pipe? The sewage or waste pipe is not made of metal, not affected by rust/corrosion and should be pottery or plastic. If slow to drain, there could be a blockage further down the outlet pipe to the main sewer, causing it to back up. If that is so, your plumbers are not professional, in my opinion.

Stiebel Eltron DHC 6-2 tankless water heater. Can I reduce the power of it?

Ideally it needs to be on a separate breaker. Surely there is more than one breaker in the apartment. The only way to fix what you have would be to change the element for one with a lower wattage but unfortunately the element is not listed as a spare part. Phone the company and tell them the problem as there may be an issue with your heater shorting out somehow. https://www.stiebel-eltron-usa.com/sites/default/files/pdf/parts-dhc.pdf Others have the same issue! https://www.google.com/search?q=Stiebel-Eltron+DHC+6-2+tripping+breaker ..
