know it worked this morning as we had heating and hot water. Now, I dont
have a pilot light.
Can you light these manually?


Has it been serviced? The pilot jet in these blocks up with crud over the
years and eventually won't light from the igniter. It can also be too
small to operate the thermocouple. I'm assuming you have the procedure for
lighting it - they can sometimes just blow out.
