I have a ten gallon water heater and the wire that controls the gas needs to be wiggled if I want the gas to come on. the wire connector is behind the black reset cover on the face of the heater.I am having one of those senior moments and am trying to remember what to do to make better contact. tried sand paper, tried to squeeze the fitting tighter, any other trick I can apply to make this thing work when I throw the switch inside the TT
Are you sure it is a bad contact or a worn out thermostat? I have replaced both the 120v and the propane thermostat on my Suburban twice each over the past 5+ years full time.
