Help with non-lighting water heater
Hot water heater on '91 Gulf Stream Ultra. Mor-Flo brand. Electric ignition..
When I flip the switch inside you can hear the click as the switch sparks then the whoosh of gas and the burner lights. 5 seconds later it goes out. It will do this sequence 3 times and then it locks up.
Plenty of propane & burners on stove light just fine. I took it apart. The 'burner' is just a metal tube with a metal plate mounted in the middle of it.
This is the sparker right and the gas tube right?
This is an apparatus on the left side:
The bottom has a little pinhole in it where I assume the gas comes out to go into the burner tube. Somewhere I read where the thermocouple isn't sensing the heat from the burner lighting & is cutting off the gas. Can someone tell me where this would be located? Is it somewhere in the apparatus on the left? There are several electrical wires going into the top & bottom of it but I didn't mess with those yet.
