Thank you, too. I have a Richmond Hot Water Tank / Water Heater with the Honeywell Gas Valve. I did the unplug, wait a minute, plug in, cycle the temperature setting from vacation to max temperature, and the unit immediately turn the gas on.

THANK YOU!!! ❤❤❤ About 4 weeks ago, our basement flooded knocking out the hot water heater. Following 3 visits & $250.00, the service technician was unable to fix the problem. The “Flammable vapours detected” error persisted. After waiting for the basement to dry out, the problem continued. We were in the process of contemplating a new water heater. We watched your video today, re: The Honeywell model…my son followed your advice to toggle the dial 6 times… IT WORKED!!! We now finally have hot water!😂

I was away from my house for 10 months and then I had my floors resurfaced… Luckily, I was able to figure out the code of the water heater and then search for flammable vapor sensor lockout. Your video came up… And within minutes, my water heater was back up and running! Great job!

Christmas day. I jump in the shower and no hot water. Please Lord, I have many things to do today and next week. I won't be able to replace it until next Friday. Wait, here is a video that says how to reset the Honeywell controller. I switched it off, unplugged it for 10+ seconds, turned it back on and turned the temp dial back and forth. It was blinking normally, the gas flamed on and then went out. The light stayed normal and after a few seconds it flamed on again and seems to be heating up at this time. Thank God for people like you that post videos like these.

Honeywell tip worked like a dream! 5 days of no hot water, about to call a plumber, then I forgot KZread!!! Your video came up first, saw the tip for my model and in 1 min fixed! I’m sure you saved me a plumber bill for 1 min of work. Thank you!

My husband told me to comment that thanks to you we’re going to have hot water tonight. You’re video was clear, concise, and extremely professional. Thanks again.

Spent a half hour searching the internet for a solution to this problem and your video had the correct solution for a Rheem with a Honeywell thermostat. Many thanks here, m8.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I am 76 and my husband is not well. I got up in the morning and had no hot water. Googled 7 blinks and then found you. You have no idea how grateful I am to your generous sharing on utube. I an indebted to you. If you ever have an accounting question, drop me a line!

You are a life saver. The repairman came out and ordered a new control valve and burner assembly. It has been almost a week and I seen this video and all it took was pressing the arrows down twice and it worked.

Videos like yours really make the Internet what it was always meant to be. Thank you!

You rock. Had no signs of any issues and then just quit working. I was about to spend $1000 on a replacement and thank to you I spent 45 minutes searching the web for hints and mostly for a replacement until your tip showed up and like magic, my water heater is up and running. God bless you for your kindness and willingness to share your knowledge with others... thank you..

Thank you for the video. I had no hot water and my Honeywell gas valve/thermostat was flashing an error code that the thermostat had overheated. I was going to change it but I wanted to check out other possible causes. Followed the simple reset instructions and immediately got the burner on and producing hot water. Saved me time and $250.

Fixed it and saved myself an expensive tech visit. Thanks very much for this. great video.

Thank you!! I looked everywhere to figure out how to reset this thing after I figured out what the problem was. You saved me waiting for (and paying) a guy to come fix it.

You are awesome. My husband was about to buy a new hot water heater. Never thought turning a knob would fix my problem. Thank you so much!

Thank you. I tried multiple videos before I found yours. Was actually on hold with a plumber and found you. Hung up on the plumber and within 60 seconds I had my water heater back to normal and heating up. Thank you very much!!

I love you!!!!! You fixed my problem! We had varnished the floor and had a plumber come out and he could not fix it!!!! Thank you thank you thank you bless you!!!!!

Just installed natural hardwood floors sand oil based poly tripped the Sensor. No info in product manual, but you have come to the rescue. Thanks so much, your efforts are truly appreciated.

Dude you are my freaking hero. A few months back your videos helped me troubleshoot my AC and today woke up to no hot water and thanks to you BOOM you did it again. We had to disinfect the basement and the heavy odor must of tripped the sensor. We have a Honeywell and yo!u were spot on! Thanks man for saving me a couple hundred bucks to have someone come out I am so grateful to you!!!! YES YES YES!!!!!

I can’t thank you enough. No hot water. Honeywell module. 7 blue blinking lights. Followed your reset instructions and it reset. You da man!!! Thank you

It's midnight before my four-day trip and there's no hot water because I spilled some gasoline in my garage. I never would have guessed that was the problem. Brilliant explanation! In five minutes the hot water heater was up and running again. Thank you!

Rheem water heater Honeywell valve (7) flashes indicates Flammable Vapor sensor no indication on how to reset fired up immediately 1:30 am did not want to take a cold am shower thank you for your clear and right to the point video solution ( I cleaned the water heater shed yesterday lots of dust ) Again great job Thank you Sir.

You are a true angel from the sky. We was about to purchase a new control box. I started to search first to see if I was missing anything and found your video. We thought just unplugging for 6 - 10 seconds might reset and that didn't work. Thank you so much for your video.

That fixed the lockout on my Honeywell gas valve, 2 year old water heater. Saved me a service call and taught me something new! Thank you!!!!

Was doing oil varnishing at the basement and water heater stopped. After watching this video I have my Flammable Vapour Sensor reset! Thank you!

Thank you for saving my husband a mental break down this morning lol Great video!

Thank you ! Honey well gas valve … vapour sensor lock out. Did what you said and was working within a few seconds ! Thank you again !!!

You are a genius!! You saved me a boatload of money! My wife thinks I’m brilliant. Sorry, I didn’t tell her about you. Gonna be a great night!

You are a life saver!!!!! I had a bad code 8-1 and replaced the sensor. But, then I got a 7 code ... but I have a natural gas sensor/alarm right next to the tank. So, I know I don't have a gas problem. Apparently, once you get locked out, you have to enter the cheat code to unlock it. You, my friend, saved me days and days of waiting for a service guy... and saved me the cost of the service call too. The heater is running normal now after clearing the lock!

OK, this is incredible. Last winter during the coldest weather we were having at the time, my gas furnace died. You gave me the advice I needed to get it going in no time. Now, my Rheem gas water heater went flameless and you did it again. This is an awesome channel, I'm a subscriber since November and now it's time to donate! Thanks!!

I had my exhaust disconnected to work on a water pipe. Had no hot water the next morning. Tried your instructions for the honeywell brand. It worked perfectly. Back up and running! I'm very grateful for your video. Thank you.

A few days ago, I sealed my ceiling with oil-based sealer, and then my gas hot water heater stopped heating water and displayed a flammable vapor sensor locked code. The manual said to replace the entire unit...i.e., permanently damaged. Your video, extremely well made and presented very logical and progressive, provided the secret reset to unlock the unit. Amazing presentation!

Sorry to bother you, but my ceiling stain came back, so I applied two additional coats of oil-based sealer and then applied ceiling paint, and the stains are now gone. Prior to applying the two additional coats, I turned off my water heater until after I applied the paint, so the fumes would be near zero when reapplying power. However, my water heater now continues to display the Flammable Vapor Sensor Locked code after trying the above trick to reset the water heater. Do you have any suggestions now? Thanks again for your video.

Additionally, my 7-pulse lockout code begins six seconds after turning on the Honeywell control box. Your video states to cycle from Vacation to Very Hot six times, but your written instructions state to cycle from Hot to Low six times...I've tried both ways after turning on the control box...even within the first six seconds. I even put the vapor sensor into a container to ensure the air had zero fumes.

Thank you so so so much! Saved me $1000. Only diff in my case was upon repowering, I had to press the two arrows within a second. Worked. Left right left left right left right right...now that's stuck in my head

It worked!!! Thank you!!! I was able to call off my maintenance guy which is great considering I'm currently in a bit of a financial bind! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the video. I was a plumber 15 years ago and forgot how to reset one of these! Worked like a charm.

You SAVED my family with the tip to turn the temp up and down to reset. THANK YOU!!! Already mad a trip back to Home Depot tonight to get the missing vapor sensor that was not included in the new box.

Great post I stumbled across when my plumber couldn't figure out why we couldn't recover my Honeywell controlled WH after a vapor sensor errror/replacement. I was close to spending $3000 on a new WH when I tried the reset method mention here and lo and behold it worked. Thanks for putting this up!

Thank you! You saved my family hours of hassle and distraction.

Thanks boss that worked for my honeywell . Saved me from calling anyone.

4th of July, 2024. No water heater. I turned everything off last night, went down this morning and tried lighting with no luck. Went on KZread and found this, Bam! Water is heating and we're good to go! Thank you so much. All good!

Wow, first let me just say thank you for this video. You saved me a lot of money. Second, let me tell my story. I bought a new house and lived in it for a couple of years with zero water heater problems. In fact it was excellent. I had always used an electric lawn mower, then I bought a gas lawn mower. Around that same time my hot began going on the fritz. I'd go to take a shower and the water would be ice cold. So of course I did the only thing I knew how to do: I unplugged my hot water heater and plugged it back in. This would solve the problem for a couple of days - maybe even a week, then randomly the hot water heater would fail again. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, temporarily fixing my problem probably a dozen times. Finally, I took a close look at the blinking LED and determined it was indicating a flammable vapor sensor had been tripped. Amazingly, that thing was so sensitive, it was detecting fumes from the plastic gas can I had purchased to fuel my new lawn mower. The container was tightly sealed and was stored at least 20 feet away from my hot water heater, but even that was enough to trigger it. Now, thanks to this video I've reset the sensor and store the lawn mower gas cannister in a heavy-duty garbage bag. That seems to be enough to contain the fumes and prevent the sensor from tripping. Those things are sensitive! Thanks again for this video. Cheers, and good luck to anyone with an ailing hot water heater!

2024 - Thanks to this video👍, Mine was Reem with Honeywell Water heater. We had a power outage in the area that must have tripped it. Followed directions: unplug wait 10 secs. Put switch to ON. Then go High Low - 6 times, you will hear a click and then Flame starts 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much for this video! After refinishing our wood floors and applying oil based poly, the vapor sensor tripped. I'm so glad it was an easy fix and this video saved me when the owners manual had no constructive advice.

Saved me brother .and I was staining hardwood floors!

thank you so very much!! We came home from vacation and there wasn't any hot water. I didn't get it at first, but the LRLL, RLRR code worked. Timing is very important, but I got it! Thank you again!

Thank you I was working on a Honeywell just now and you tuned it and it worked you saved me SIR!! Now my wife and 3 daughters won’t hate me!!

Have a Richmond water heater with a Honeywell valve. Just reset. Fired and cycled perfectly. Thank you.

Thanks so much. Went to have a shower this morning...wut? no hot water. This video got me to reset the error code. It is running now. Hopefully that solves the problem but you saved me.

My Rheem just kicked back on! The Honeywell code was going to have me replace the control valve! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for making this video. I went through the owner's manual for my heater, which told me to call the 800 number for technical support. After being on hold for 20 minutes, the 800 number randomly hung up on me, TWICE! Your video is the first one I found and I was able to get my water heater running again within 60 seconds of watching this.

I looked up the fault code ( 7 pulses) in the manual for my 2016 Rheem PROG50 and purchased a new FVS for $23. Disappointed that it didn't fix it, I called my HVAC guy for a service call. While waiting I found your video. Back and forth 6 times on a Honeywell? Yeah right and click my heels together 6 times too? Imagine my surprise as it fired up! God bless you for saving me a $78 service call plus who knows what else I may have got charged

Thank you very much - followed your instructions to reset the Honeywell gas valve on our Rheem hotwater tank and it worked like a charm!! You Rock!

OMG, you just saved me hundreds of dollars! Followed your instructions and had it back up and running in less than 10 min! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I have the Honeywell. -Unplug for 10 seconds - Switch the dial back and forth 6 times from Low to Very Hot. My pilot light fired up immediately and I set my dial to preferred setting A.

Thank you! I had to replace my sensor, but this is still very helpful information. A few years ago I had my floors refinished and the sensor tripped. I was unaware of how it worked and when I asked a large plumbing company here in Denver if the sensor could be reset, I was told no and was then charged $500 for them to replace it. Total rip-off. This time I did more digging and bought a new sensor for $50. I was being quoted $2500 for a new water heater!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU, woke up 5am to shower for work, running on schedule then NO HOT WATER. You saved me, reset the sensor and all good again.

No one else was communicating this! Yes, your video gave my 3-family brownstone in NY City hot water today because I fixed the heater myself thanks to you. Otherwise me, my family and our tenants would have had to wait until Monday with no hotwater, and we would have had a large bill from the plumber. Thank you thank you thank you.. Thumbs up!!!

You just saved me so much time and effort. The last thing I wanted to do was call the rental company and wait for someone to come out. 5 minutes and our heater was running like normal

Thanks for the great video instructions! I replaced the temperature pressure valve on my water heater because it failed to reseal after testing (the unit was 12 years old). While working on that and splashing water on the floor I decided to clean the concrete floor (it was dusty/dirty). After installing the new temp/pressure valve and starting the water heater, it was throwing the flammable vapor error code and would not ignite. I tried a dozen times without luck, even after running a fan overnight to dry the concrete. I did more internet "studying" which told me how the flammable vapor circuit works. Basically, the sensor is a variable resistor that will change value when a flammable vapor (or other debris) is detected near the floor. My temporary solution was to disconnect the sensor and connect a 33,300 ohm resistor in its place. The water heater fired up immediately on the first try after that. So I know the sensor needs to be replaced (about $30 on Amazon). Without knowing your LRLL RLRR button code, I would have been at the mercy of a plumber looking to make a couple grand by replacing the entire unit!

Thanks man!! Our Honeywell sensor shutdown after our basement flooded. Wasn’t until bedtime we found out we didn’t have hot water. After a day of cleaning up and drying out you helped me figure it out. Really appreciate it!

So helpful. My husband was getting ready to head off to the hardware store for a new sensor when I found your video. Thanks for saving us the time and money. 😘

The Honeywell valve on my Richmond water heater was giving me an error code for a flammable vapor sensor lockout. This video worked like a champ! THANKS SO MUCH! 🏆

With money being tight due to covid I wouldn't have been able to pay someone to come fix it. Your video saved me and my family alot of money and trouble. Thank you so very much!

Excellent advice. Thank you. Your advice worked perfectly. I had never found the "code" for a White Rogers sensor. Great job

Thanks for you knowledge, now mine working again. I was painting.

So straight forward.. yet I could not find the information I needed anywhere else. Thank you so much!

Thank you!!!!! I was worried we would have to replace the whole water heater, your video was a life saver!!

Super helpful! Saved me calling a repair guy!

It worked thank you so much. I almost was out of pocket at $1000 replacing the entire water heater which is what was suggested to me by a plumbing company. Your video saved me so much money and so much time.

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! Thanks for a very helpful video. One very crucial point to remember (for the second type) is the need to immediately begin the button-pressing sequence within 2 or 3 seconds of restoring power. I was coming off a stool as the power cord was plugged in above and it never worked. So I switched the fan to off instead. After turning it on and quickly holding the 2 buttons I got the flashing green light and was able to reset.
