Gas Water Heater won't Ignite - Intelli-vent Gas Valve Error Code
If your water heater won't light and stay lit and you are getting the error code show above, then this might help you fix it. I have had lots of luck just cleaning the flame sense rod but sometimes you may have to replace the whole part.

Thanks for making this video! You save me and my family on a Sunday
This worked like a charm. So far so good thanks man great job. Subscribed.
Thanks bud. This did the trick. Flame rod always seems to get dirty every few years
Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. I have a unit that keeps tripping, and resetting the power off/on fixes it for a few days. I will give this a try. Many thanks for the video, you're a lifesaver!

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro This was awesome advice.. I pulled out the burner and gently cleaned the pad and the probes with steel wool. Worked a treat. It's been almost a week and it had not tripped since (previously it was happening once per day). Thanks again for a truly informative and helpful video!
🎉🎉🎉 thank you for the quick and easy tips to get my tank heating again. The hardest part was getting the burner in just perfectly. I’m sure you just saved me $300 easily! Or being told I need a new tank.
You saved this sparky’s weekend with this video! Have this on my 10+ year old water heater and this got it up and running in no time

Exactly what I needed to see. Might save me a call to the repair man. Thanks
I had my doubts, but this method worked flawlessly. Thanks for posting this!
Had the same issue with mine, this video walked me through my fix, thanks so much!

It worked GREAT. Thank you
Just saved me a service call! Thanks dude!
Nooo!!!! Don’t brush the ignitor with steel wool! Leave that baby alone. It’s just the flame sensor that needs cleaning.

Hate to be the dummy here but which one is the igniter and which one is the flame sensor?

@@OSheaSpringers thank you! I saw in other videos that people will clean the igniter with steel wool. It sounds like that is a no-no?
Thank you so much sir, I just fixed mine using your video

My Water heater has the same electronic reader and the heater is going off and failing to ignite multiple times and going on lockout mode all day, should I be worried something catastrophic is going to happen or such ?
Same issue with mine going ok into vacation mode and HVAC tech said it's due to high city water pressure. Can you explain to me how that's related to the ignition sensor?

No. Will pass this question on to my plumber mentor though
I have this exact issue, and I've done all of the above steps that you did. GE is completely useless in terms of helping. Gas is turned on, and yes the bills have been paid lol. When I try to restart it the igniter lights up just fine but I never get a flame. Please for the love of god help, because the internet seems to be failing me on this one lol. Bad flame sensor? I'm having an EXTREMELY difficult time even finding a replacement part for it. My burner/igniter assembly is identical to the one you have in the video.

Is this for the intellivent gas valve? Either way if you have an igniter getting red it’s probably not the ignitor it’s most likely gas flow.

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Yes it's for the intellivent. I'm not sure what would be limiting the gas flow at this point unless it's the intellivent module itself. Any way that you know of to test that theory?
So what it was just dirty? Because that code says maximum number of ignition attempts led to lock out

Your plumber is an idiot... Unless it is really old pretty much the only time you replace a tank is when it's leaking. Source: Me owning a plumbing company that doesn't rip people off.
This guy is not a professional. You never want to clean the ignitor or touch it. You also need to soap test any and all gas line you disconnect. Clean the burner itself serves no purpose. Just knock off debris.
