How do I light a pilot light on a gas hot water heater when the pilot light area is sealed, and the...?
Q. electric sparker is not sparking? The hot water heater is new (10 months), but the shop is closed today. I turned the light off to paint an epoxy floor (those directions said - turn off pilot lights). Now the damn thing won't spark, and the directions say 'dont take off the panel and hand light'. Any realistic suggestions will be appreciated, sarcastic answers will be snickered at. (and the laugh would probably do me some good)

A. for safety purposes because you are not familiar with doing the re- lighting, you can call your local fire dept and they will come out for Free to re-light the water heater. They will probably commend you very much for being smart about what you did in following instructions. Be SAFE Good Luck r o s c o roscooo

how to light the pilot light on a gas fired fireplase?
Q. Someone blew out the pilot light on my gas fireplace. Is there any trick to relighting it?
Asked by ??!! - Sun Oct 14 19:25:16 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Just move the gas valve knob to pilot mash down and light it keep holding down till it stays lit once it stays lit move the knob to ON then turn the thermostat up or it just may come on if their is no thermostat NOW if it does not STAY lit it is because the pilot ODS system has a bug in it literally ,a bug will make a cobweb inside the ODS chamber and this will mimic loss of oxygen in the room. ODS stands for Oxygen Depletion System. It is designed to lower the output flame of the pilot when oxygen gets low in the room, causing the safety magnet to shut down the fire before asphyxiation occurs hopefully. Blow out the pilot chamber located behind the pilot burner if this is the case use shop air, or alcohol, or rust buster. Good old rust… [cont.]

How much does it cost for a pilot light to stay on in gas fireplace?
Q. I just moved into an apartment that has a gas hot water heater and a "decorative" gas fireplace. All the other appliances are electric, including the main heating system. The fireplace doesn't work well for heating purposes and since it's approaching the warmer summer months I wonder if I should have the pilot light shut off to save money? How much gas does just having the pilot light use?

A. If you're not going to use it for for more than a couple of days turn it off. If you use it daily during the colder months, you might as well leave it on b/c the pilot light costs next to nothing, I was told it costs pennies a day to run the pilot. If you really want to know the exact amount- call your gas company.

Do I need to turn off the pilot light off in a gas-fireplace in Summer?
Q. I have a gas fireplace (Heat-N-Glo) in master bedroom. This fireplace has a switch on the wall just like a regular switch for any house lights. The pilot seems a lot bigger than the one seen in gas stove. I am just wondering if it is needed to turn the pilot light off in the summer. If it is good to do, who can do it? If I can do it, how? Thanks!

A. A gas pilot light has a valve that, when you shut it off, will turn off the gas pilot. All you do is turn off the gas valve...(yes, you can do it!). Now, when you go to turn it on, read the iinstruction. It may be like a "furnace" and you have to turn the valve and push it down to start the pilot light, then turn it to on. (basically all gas valves have this, on boilers and furnaces). I would do so, because your needlessly putting heat into the house and defeat the A/C, and also your burning gas for no reason at all :) It will be real easy to turn it off and on. I wish you well..

How do you turn the pilot light back on a gas dryer?
Q. I moved my dryer to check the air vent, and when I moved it back the pilot light went out. It won't come back on, and I even changed the fuse. Any suggestions? The problem I orginally had, and I still have is that it won't heat up. The dryer is about two years old, and I don't think it needs to be replaced. Sorry, I am aware that there is no pilot light now.
Asked by pretty_as_me - Sun Mar 4 00:05:50 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Never heard of a gas dryer having a pilot light. In fact they use a kind of spark plug to ignite the gas, similar to how you ignite the LP on a gas cooker. If you disconnected the gas, the line may have a lot of air in it and may take a while before it bleeds out and ignites properly.

Can you really explode while lighting a pilot light?
Q. I live in SD and all of a sudden we had no heat. So I went downstairs and figured out how to light the pilot light, which I was told I should not have done because I could have died. For real?
Asked by karalinn - Sat Jan 26 12:02:48 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When your pilot light goes out, gas still flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If the pilot light has been out for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. Not fun. In your case, the pilot light had only been out for a moment or two, so the gas had no time to accumulate. And if your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. But if there is any doubt at all, you really shouldn't have taken the risk. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot… [cont.]

Pilot light in Gas Firsplace seems to be high: how do you check?
Q. Is there a way of knowing if my pilot light is letting too much gas out? When the firsplace is off you can hear it across the room. I'm wondering how much gas it's burning on me and if it's dangerous at all.

A. Don't know who makes it. There is usually a small screw on the pipe that feed the pilot light. Turn the screw to see if the pilot gets smaller. It must maintain a flame to keep the thermocouple hot. Go on line if you don't have the manual to see if you can adjust it and how.

The pilot light went out on our Enviro-Temp gas water heater last night. How to relight?
Q. We rent, and this is the first time it's happened. We removed the panel and found the control area with the water temperature knob and the "pilot light" knob, but we can't actually find where to light the dang thing!! Does anyone know where it is? Thanks.
Asked by stormsinger1 - Mon Feb 26 12:30:43 2007 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments
A. There should be a small door at the very bottom of the tank with maybe one/two screws on it. The tank should have directions that say the dial on the gas valve should be in the pilot position and hold the valve down. put a long match or lighter in the small door and follow small tubing to the end that's where the pilot should be if it working correctly. When it lights hold the the Dial for about a minute then let go and turn to run. allot of tanks are different but this is how most of them work so if there isn't any directions on the tank itself then try to get the make and model and look it up on the net and when all else falls call a the gas company sometime they will light them for you to.

How do I find where my pilot light is on my furnace?
Q. I thought I would find it quite easily but it turns out that I couldn't find the area where the pilot light is! Obviously I don't want to be throwing flames around where a gas leak is occuring... The results may be...too exciting for me.
Asked by mateo - Sun Dec 17 10:29:36 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. IF it has a pilot...there will be a 1/4" line coming out of the gas valve up to your burners. If no line, then you have either a spark ignition system or a hot surface ignitor. Another way to verify if you have a pilot style system is if your gas valve has "PILOT" setting and not just "OFF or ON"

Q. I have a Gaffers & Sattler Mission recessed vented heater. If you open the bottom panel there are instructions on how to light or relight the pilot, but I can't find the little pipe the gas will come from in order to light it.

A. If it was made in the last twenty years and plugs into an outlet, it should be self-lighting. Most of the ovens have a delay of about 30 seconds before they light (the lighting mechanism has to get hot). Just turn the dial to the desired temp and wait about a minute. If it hasn't lit by then, you need a repair tech to visit. Good Luck!

A. Is that a package burner? the one that comes with the blower, controller, et al all fitted in? If so, it is supposed to have an in built lighter which causes the pilot to be ignited automatically. check the connections to your lighter and solenoid, switch the system on -- most likely it will be ignited. Alternately, just light up a cloth rag dipped in oil and hold to the pilot- assuming the burner pilot is getting it's supply of fuel.

A. Here is a link to check out, complete with a video - To turn the pilot light off, all you have to do is turn the gas valve knob to off. Usually, to relight the pilot, you would turn the knob to 'pilot', and hold it in, while lighting, and for an additional minute or so. The video in the link above should be helpful Have Fun

Is it Costly to have an always ON year-round Pilot Light for a Fireplace?
Q. My house has two fireplaces that have pilot lights always running. THey are always on even during the summer months when the fireplace are never used. I was wondering, are my gas bills significantly higher with them always running? I cant figure out how to open up my fireplaces to get at these pilot lights to shut them off so i am wondering if the best option is to just leave them running forever, as they have always been

A. If you are using propane-you may can save money by shutting them off. If natural gas, -then you may have to pay a minimum anyway. If you use nat. gas for heating water and cooking, then you may want to shut off the pilots because you will already be using enough to be more than the minimum.
