DAGS on "Whirlpool water heater", you'll get A LOT of complaints. I
put a new "EnergySmart, FlameLock" gas heater in two years ago, it's
worked flawlessly until last weekend. Then, itstill made hot water,
but I had to restart the pilot after every batch; I got the error code
"upper sensor failure", whih I think refers to a thermocouple. IDAGS,
and found A LOT of the same complaint. and refernces to non-standard
replacement parts (left-hand threads). I fiddled with mine without
really doing anything, but it
's back to working.

Google is your friend.

THAT said, numerous sources revealed in the Google search indicated
that most major water heater brands are all made by 1 or 2
manufacturers, which slap a different brand name on and distrubute
them nation-wide.
