If the control got under water, you probably will have to replace it. If it was just the burner, you can take the tube loose where it connects to the control and blow out the water in it. You should be able to relight it after that.

Either the thermostat has been set too low, your hot water heater is not big enough, or your hot water heater has not been installed properly.


Is it called a hot water heater or water heater?

It's because "hot-water" is a compound adjective, modifying "heater". It's not for heating water, it's for heating a house with hot water. There are many types of heaters that heat water, but only a hot-water heater is used for providing heated water for domestic use. A hydronic boiler also heats water, but it's only for use in radiators.The name "Hot Water Heater" is completely wrong for any use. There is no need to heat hot water. IT has always been "water heater". The term hot water heater has just been used for years because people don't realize the difference. It has always been WATER HEATER.The first answer is jibberish and makes no practical sense at all.

The heater core may be stopped up. This can be cleaned by removing the heater hoses under the hood of the van and running water through the heater from a water hose. Disconnect the hoses from the front of the engine.

AnswerLeak or the car has been under water. I would suspect the latter.Your heater core could be in that area. Or there could be a hole in your car frame and water may be following your computer wires. What year, make, model, and engine size is it.

There may have been some water left in the heater core when you disconnected both hoses at the firewall. I can't think of any other explanation since there is no water circulating through the heater core.
