TROUBLESHOOTING and SERVICE HANDBOOK

RELIANCE Water Heater Company Technical Training Department

Tools:

• Vacuum cleaner with crevice and curtain attachments.

• Twisted wire brush (household cleaning brush)

• Flashlight

• Small mirror 2” X 3”

• 3/8”, 7/16”, and 3/4” inch open end wrenches

• 3/8 inch nut driver

• Small container of soapy water and an applicator.

Procedure

Turn the water heater top knob to “off” and allow the burner area to cool. Then, remove the plastic air intake

screen(s) and use a small mirror and flashlight to view the bottom of the flame arrestor. Using the crevice

tool, vacuum all dust and other particles from beneath the water heater. To clean the bottom of the flame

arrestor, use a common household cleaning brush that will pass through the air intake opening at the base

of the water heater and extend into the water heater 2/3 the distance to the back. Use a gentle back and

forth motion. Vacuum any remaining debris that may have fallen out of the flame arrestor. Re-insert the air

intake screen when finished. At this point, relight the pilot, and check water heater for operation. Allow an

entire heating cycle to complete to assure proper operation.

The following procedure requires abilities equivalent to that of a licensed Tradesman. Contact a

qualified service agent for assistance.

If the yellow flame or pilot outage problem persists, perform the following procedure. Turn the water heater

top knob to “off” and allow the burner area to cool completely, approximately 15 minutes. Turn off the supply

gas at the supply gas line if applicable. Disconnect the three connections from the bottom of the gas valve,

being careful to note their location.
