🔥 When “Easy Fix” Turns Into a Full Repair – Water Heater repair in phoenix It’s always the last call when someone says, “Oh, it’s something easy!” 😅 This time, the water heater was out, and the homeowner tried relighting it – no spark from the igniter. I thought I’d slap a new igniter in and wrap up quick… but nope. Pilot still wouldn’t stay lit. 🚫🔥 At this point, it’s either a lazy thermocouple or a gas valve causing trouble. A quick multimeter check told me the thermocouple was fine (21 millivolts – way above the 13 needed). That meant the gas valve needed to be replaced. Time to swap it out and save the day. 💡 Pro Tip: The thermocouple is a safety device that keeps the gas valve open when the pilot is lit. If the pilot goes out, it cuts the gas to prevent leaks. Simple, but crucial for safety! 👉 Like and follow Plomero en Phoenix for more plumbing tips, water heater repairs, and gas valve troubleshooting!
