Update: Gas water heater pilot won’t light.

Need recommendations for a local company in Baton Rouge. I pulled burner assembly and used sandpaper on igniter and thermopile, blew out the pilot gas line. Still no spark showing. No status light. Honeywell gas valve.
Update: Burner assembly would have taken a week to come in. I was able to find the pilot assembly and swap that out on the burner. Put it back on and all lit up perfectly. Feels good to get the win for the DIY guy just trying to get by. Total cost $75 in parts and $90 diagnoses. The pro wanted $700.

Did you try manually lighting it? Just don't blow your hand off.

If you pulled the burner assembly, you can install a new one. Just order a new burner assembly. I just did one of mine, same problem and it works perfect now.

I couldn’t light mine and did get my plumber out. He called tech support to just to have them walk through a couple of things looking at mV signals. Ended up changing gas valve/controller unit if I recall correctly. That did the trick.
