Check to be sure you have gas. I know this is a long shot, but one of my renters had complained about no hot water. When I went out to check, the pilot light was out and I couldn't light it. Then checked the gas stove and it didn't light as well. Then I check the gas meter outside the house and it was turned off and locked. Apparently they hadn't paid their gas bill.

There are two common issues that can cause that: One is your system pressure is too high, another is the heat to set too high. That valve is a pressure and temperature control valve. it is also possible that it has become old and just failed, but more commonly the water heater fails faster... Cheers, Doc

There are several reasons your water heater could fail to ignite. Often, this issue is caused by the gas supply, so check to make sure your propane tank is full before you do anything else. If your gas valve or water valves are not fully opened, this could also cause the ignition to fail.

Clean thermopile check volts on it should 600 mile volts .

3 amp fuses seems low. What is the amperage of the unit? I don't know what unit you have, but doesn't it call for a 120volt breaker or fuse?

Replace is best.

Have you drained the sediment from tank?

well if there is that much water to pump out id say you have bigger problems, it s ok to leave plugged in if you have a float switch to turn it off and on automatically

A typical answer for this·1. Cut off power to the water heater at the panel·2. Check the water heater reset button- The water heater reset button is the red button situated on the water radiator itself (simply over the indoor regulator). Some water heater may have two reset catches one for each indoor regulator. To get to the reset catch, you may need to evacuate the metal plate covering the indoor regulator that is held set up by screws. You may likewise need to evacuate a rectangular bit of froth protection to see the reset catch(button). 3.DO NOT reset if safety features continuously trip.For More Information You Can Visit: https://www.indiapropertyclinic.com/services/water-heater-install-repair

It sounds like the thermostat that operated gas valve is failing or the gas valve is bad. This is a repair left to professionals. Now I would price a new heater and install it myself. Repairing older heater is not a good idea, the rest of the heater is old and will fail.
