No, hot water heaters don't typically have a smell. If you are smelling fumes, you could have a leak in your gas line.
Device called a thermocouple. Turns off the gas if it does not sense a flame. Check with your local gas appliance repair company, have them replace. Fairly cheap item, and they DO go bad.

Distilled water contains only hydrogen and oxygen molecules and it doesnt contain any of the minerals that normal water contains. Normal water contains minerals such as calcium and iron. It probably tastes so bad because the minerals have been taken out of it. I hope this helped :)
its not.

It is most likely the thermocouple that is bad. That is what keeps the pilot light on. The thermocouple is the small tube that sits in the flame of the pilot and runs to the control valve.
sounds like you have a bad thermocouple. The thermocouple senses the pilot flame and produces voltage to tell main flame to light. Thermocouple can be bought at any hardware store.
If the pilot light is on, the heater should come on by itself. If the pilot light is off then it has to be lit. If it will not stay on, the thermocouple is bad.
Most likely the thermocouple is bad. The thermocouple is the little tube that sits in the flame of the pilot light. Runs from the pilot light to the control valve. Very simple to replace. Costs about $6.
thermocouple is bad.
Spillage , bad thermocouple
The thermocouple is bad. The thermocouple is the small metal tube that sits in the pilot light flame and runs to the control valve. The thermocouple generates a very small electrical current that keeps the gas valve open. They go bad regularly. **** I would have to say to check to make sure the valve is not in the "Pilot" position. If it is then turn it to the "On' position. If it still isn't working then you may have a bad Gas Control Valve. If the thermocouple was bad the pilot light would not stay lit. If the pilot light stay lit, it is doing what it is supossed to do.
You might have to try pushing the button for longer, or you might have a bad thermocouple.
The thermocouple is bad. The thermocouple it the small metal tube that sits in the flame of the pilot light. Has a copper colored wire from that to the bottom of the control. They are easy enough to replace, just unscrew from the control and usually pull out of a spring clip at the pilot light. Costs $6 or so.
