Always One of 3 things. Gas control valve, theormocouple or pilot

Gas heater. No leaks. No corrossion. Gas is on. Circuit breaker not tripped. Water runs through. All clear water.
What might be the culprit and can I fix it without calling a plumber or is best just to call the plumber?
WH's have little "gates" in the electrical that flip open and closed based on a thermostat, just like your AC. When one of mine acted up a few months ago I figured it was a bad element, went and bought all of the parts to replace them. While tinkering around with a voltmeter, I realized that the "gate" just wasn't getting power to the elements. I turned my screwdriver around and gave the thermostat unit a whack, heard a pop as it got "unstuck", and it has worked great ever since.

it might be the theormocouple...really easy to change and only cost about $20.
Do it yourself you will save about $130.
Youtube it. I recently changed mine and I am not mechanically inclined

Go ahead and change the bad element on your gas water heater and let us know how that works out.

broken supply line - your cold water is entering st the top next to the outlet.

Bad Element
Its probably got 2 and they may both be bad.

shite - you didn't say if the burner was on. Go look at the bottom.

Mine went out Saturday, got on the phone with Whirlpool - turned out to be the control unit. It was waiting on me when I got home from work Monday, pretty easy to change myself and I'm not mechanically inclined at all.

check your GFCI outlets....reset.

Burner not on. Won't fire up. No pilot. Won't light up.
Posted on 8/6/14 at 10:30 am to HubbaBubba
can you re-light the pilot while holding the button thing down? If the pilot lights while you hold it then cuts out when you release, it is the thermocouple, as others have said. That's what keeps the pilot lit.

Will try. Thanks.

I was referring to the element in mine (electric). (And it was obvious)

It's either a water heater or a hot water tank.
