How to light the pilot on a Reliance 606 water heater
This is a "Reliance" 606 . Although in the video I say it is "crappy," I am actually happy with the company's response to my complaint about me having to light the pilot all the time. Make sure to read the directions for your model. .The company was actually pretty cool and ended up sending me a new pilot assembly for free, which I installed on my own.

Thanks. This helped. I've been dealing with this pos for months now. It's on the landlord's "to-do" list but it's taking longer to get dealt with. It had a harder time starting today and had to look this up to trouble shoot something. Thanks again.
Worked perfectly! Thanks! 💪🏾💪🏾💯

Thank you:) I have to say, the pilot light is really hard to see or hear. However, I turned the lights off, had my trusty flashlight, repeated your instructions, and voila! I have a lit pilot light:) Here's hoping it remains lit! Thanks again. Your video saved me a service call:)

Thanks it was a great help. Worked perfectly
I should add, that this is the second one of these in about 5 years. The first one went while under warranty. The top sprung a leak and sprayed water all over for days while I was away on a trip. This one has been fine until now, and I went to take a shower and had only warm water. So I did not have any problem with warranty replacement or repsonse from them.
I have been doing 10 times a day I have bought 3 pilot assembly in the last
you're a life saver, thanks!
Glad it helped. What would we all do without KZread, huh??

Good news... Ever since I fixed mine it has been fine. I got Reliance to send me a new pilot assembly for free and I fixed it myself. It wasn't that hard and I m a ...drum roll...woman. If they ignore you, contact the Better Business Bureau and they will send it ASAP.
You are SUPER cute and very helpful! Thank you!

I actually ended up replacing the thermocouple. Reliance sent it to me free of charge. It was an easy repair :-)
Thank-you so much other wise I would have waited for a technician to arrive after a 2 days

Thank you. I did it. I didn't have to call anyone to help me. 😄
Every year I have to replace mine. I think I should buy a new water heater
My pilot won't stay on either. I called the company and I'm having a hard time getting replacement parts for a water heater still under warranty. They insist its not a parts issue and refuse to budge. I even had a plumber diagnose the unit and he had a hard time dealing with Reliance. After a a week of cold showers and dealing with those hard heads I'm replacing the entire water heater.

It wasn't that hard to replace the thermocouple. If I can do it, anyone can! I did need to buy a special attachment for the socket wrench. But cheaper than replacing the water heater.
Glad it helped :-)
So glad I could help :-) And good for you for adventuring to do this on your own :-)
You are welcome :-)
Hmmm.it's been awhile since I fixed it and I tried everything before finally replacing the thermocouple. It may need to have the filter cleaned. Do you know how to get to the air filter? I was able to find the owners manual on the Reliance site to see how to do this. Have you had any flooding? If so, you may need a new water heater. Once there is a rust problem it is dangerous to try to fix them. Good luck!
Sometimes you have to go through the steps a few times. But it is also a faulty part in my opinion.
Mine won't light by doing that, so something else must be wrong.

Well excuse me. I was doing everything by myself. What do you expect for free? Go call a repairman :-)
