Hi,
Leaking? Where from? How old is the heater? Leaking water drops can
douse pilot. I think that's what is going on. New ones don't even have
pilot. They are trying to fix it? Told you what is wrong other than
thermocouple?


This one is not leaking. Our old one that was in here when we bought
the house. We had it replaced. We had nothing but trouble with the
replacement unit so they replaced that. No fee for the replacement one
but a helluva lot of money to have it installed. I am just annoyed that
I have to keep relighting it so often.

Hi,
Is the pilot light staying steady, not flickering or dancing around?
Does it get worse when windy outside?


I can't even see the pilot light. I think it is deep inside. It's windy
now but I don't think it was prior to it going out.
