Follow the instructions
in "Removing the Burner Door
Assembly" section to remove the assembly.
Remove the retainer clip securing the two piece wire
connector to the burner door assembly. (Note the orientation
of the retainer clip). Insert the tip of a large flat head
screwdriver between the clip and the top of the two piece
wire connector. Carefully rotate the screwdriver to raise the
clip. It may be necessary to remove the connector one side
at a time. (See Figure 27.)
Locate where the thermocouple
connects
pilot assembly, and pull the thermocouple
the pilot assembly.

4.

Remove the nut securing the pilot assembly
and keep it for reuse later.

5.

Use a 1/2" open end wrench, to loosen the nut securing the
pilot tube to the pilot. To prevent any bending use a pair of
pliers to steady the pilot bracket.

6.

Remove the old pilot assembly
from the burner door assembly.

7.

Insert the pilot tube into the new pilot assembly. Important:
The new pilot assembly comes with an orifice. This orifice
must be installed when replacing the pilot assembly.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate this water heater without the
orifice in place.

8.

Use a 1/2" open end wrench, to tighten the nut securing the
pilot tube to the pilot. To prevent any bending use a pair of
pliers to steady the pilot bracket.

9.

Use the nut removed in a previous
pilot assembly to the burner.

10.

Insert the igniter wire through the burner door and reconnect
the thermocouple
to the pilot assembly. See "Replacing the
Thermocouple"
section.

11.

Reinstall the two piece wire connector. NOTE: The pilot
tube must be at the top followed by the igniter wire then the
thermocouple.

Test the thermocouple using the following procedure: Disconnect the thermooouple
from the gas control valve/thermostat. Using a multimeter with alligator clip leads,
attach the red lead to the body (copper part) of the thermooouple Attach the black
lead to the end (silver part) of the thermooouple that connects to the gas control valve/
thermostat Follow the instruction to light the pilot and watch the voltage readings on
the multimeter. After 45 seconds the meter should read 12 millivolts DC or more.*J
