Try reading the instructions on side of heater and DIY. If that doesn’t work watch YouTube videos for step by step instructions.

You don’t want to pay a plumber for something that takes a couple of minutes to complete.

S&E has been real good to me in the past but you can do that shite yourself.

No need to relite... water is already hot.

Serious tho, read the 3-4 steps to re ignite the pilot. It’s very easy.

Sorry guys, should have been more clear. I have tried to relight it, and it won’t fire. Based on what I read sounds like it could be the thermocouple but I’m not sure hence just wanting to get a plumber out here.
