Water Heater Solenoid
Thanks MOC! My water heater would not fire off this morning. Of coarse MOC would know what to do. Thanks to the thread previously on MOC, it was a snap to diagnose. Sreigle, Snfexpress, and Carl N Susan describes what to do. Snfexpress described how to test those solenoids and what they should read. Sure enough one of the solenoids was bad.
I asked for just the solenoid as a replacement. But I was told they could not order them anymore. So I sprung for a new valve for $94 right off the parts shelf. Easy fix. I don't know what a mobile repairman would have been or a dealer charge. Might have been able to find that solenoid on the web if I had wanted to wait for one.
Anyway it is fixed!
