How do you relight the pilot light?

If you have an automatic lighter connected to the thermostat follow these directions: - Turn the on/off/pilot valve to 'pilot' - Hold the button on top of the controls down completely. This is the thermocoupler button. - While keeping the thermocoupler button pressed down push the automatic lighter button until the pilot light lites. You can see it lit through the viewing glass. - Keep holding the thermocoupler button down for a minute after the pilot light is lit. - If it does not stay lit then your thermocoupler is probably bad and needs to be replaced


How do you replace thermocoupler on rp2100 pool heaterAsk us anything?

Why does my pilot light keep going out on my hot water tank?

try changing the "thermocoupler"( not sure of the spelling) The piolit light heats the thermocoupler. looks like a little metal rod that sits above or right next to the piolit light. when the thermocoupler is heated it produces a millivolt of electricity the power it produces is what keeps the gas vaulve open. this is a safety feature, if the piolit light goes out the gas will shut off so that the house does not fill with gas. This is why when you light the piolit you must manually hold the button in until the thermocoupler heats up. Gas appliances should only be worked on by licienced pros, don't risk the lives in your house in order to save a few bucks


Why is cold air blowing out when heater is on?

What is wrong if the exhaust temperature light comes on?

There are times when the exhaust temperature light may come on right after washing the vehicle, since water can get into the wires. Another reason for this could be that the thermocoupler ECU's are not working properly.


Why does your pilot light keep blowing out?

If your pool heater is outdoors in a high wind area, the wind might be blowing it out. In some cases you can solve this by installing an outdoor vent cap to extend the distance from the end of the exhaust and the combustion chamber.Answer:try changing the "thermocoupler"( not sure of the spelling) The piolit light heats the thermocoupler. looks like a little metal rod that sits above or right next to the piolit light. when the thermocoupler is heated it produces a millivolt of electricity the power it produces is what keeps the gas vaulve open. this is a safety feature, if the piolit light goes out the gas will shut off so that the house does not fill with gas.
