Oct 26, 2013 - i have a gas furnace with a lit pilot, but the burners won't light. ... if the thermocouple does not sense the heat of the pilot it prevents the gas controller fromturning on the burners. ... clamped onto the outgoing hot water pipe, if huydronic system) that is telling the furnace it is too hot, whether or not that is true.
Good morning,if you've replaced the burner and block and it still isn't heating,you definitely have a bad burner switch. On an electric stove you have two lines of 115 volts going through the switch to the burner. If one of the lines through the switch has burnt out,you may still get the burner on light. Hope that helps.
If possible, remove the pilot gas assembly and clean the gas jet and thermocouple - they can get carboned up and stop working properly. Make sure the pilot flame and deflector is aimed properly and making the thermocouple glow red hot. If the problem persists, you may want to replace the thermocouple and also check the propane regulator.
no easy fix . your water heater should be fine most likely its up to temp ,thats why its not lighting its main flame . the frozen pipe is another story you need to get the heat up in the house open any cuppord doors that have pipes in them like under a sink ( to let heat from the room get it there ) leave a faucet on hot and wait . at some point you will unfreeze . but you migh end up with a broken pipe so keep your eye out for a water leak . good luck
Look inside the water heater when it is heating the water, the flame should be blue. If it has yellow tips on the flame, it needs an adjustment to the air shutter. There is a nut on this air shutter to make this adjustment. This adjusts the air gas mixture. You may first try just simply tapping on the burner lightly to loosen any debris that may have built up and vacuum it out. MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE CLEANING THE BURNER!! Also, check for drafts that may be blowing out your pilot light, Furnace register or outside drafts on windy nights. Some water heaters have an automatic shut down if the water heater gets too hot, so don't have it set to its hottest setting. Most water heaters only last about 10 years or so, It could be you are ready for a new one....Joe
frist did this heater go under water if so call the pros.this can be do to dirty orfic on burner. clog presure regulater at gas meater check other gas applince.
check your fuse / breaker box make sure you have power (sounds like you dropped a leg of power) make sure breakers/fuse is on/good flip it to off the to on if oven don't work then take a look at the cord to the range check power at the wall then open where cord goes into range check power or you may even find the cord burnt in there if so replace all damaged wires good luck
