Volván water heater. the pilot goes out
Hi davitoska! Thank you very much for your answer! You know that yesterday I did what you told me and it worked all day. Today I had to turn it off for a while for another matter. I did not touch him otherwise. When he turned it on again, he walked for a while and turned off again at times! ´The flame is still very weak despite cleaning everything and drilling the nozzle a little more. Could it be that I don't hit the distance of the pilot and thermocouple? Thanks again!
When everything is cleaned and reassembled, be careful not to bump into the body, it has happened to me that soft knocking gives off more garbage and clogs the injector, which indicates that more cleaning is missing, do not enlarge the injector very much, and after using Hot water will boil the water that remains in a serpentine without use Be sure to clean the pilot pipe again, give a couple of tight enough to give gas to the pilot but without the pipe, so clean the mouth of the robinete.
The thermocouple tip must be well attached to the pilot, a couple of millimeters apart, and the pilot's flame touches the upper half of the thermocouple tip, with those distances you should have no problem. That lateral flame on the pilot that touches thermocouple should have a well defined shape, which does not dance or bend upwards, a length of 3mm-5mm rounded at the tip.
Yes, if the side flames are less than 3mm long, it is that the injector is lacking, if they are more than 3mm and are bent upwards, it is that you enlarged the injector by another, replace it with a new one. And if the flames are yellow at the tips, when an injector has not been modified, the pilot holes are dirty.
Thank you very much Davitoska. The truth is that except for the small flame, as I told you, it did not go out again. It works great now and I'm just going to clean the pilot a little more. The truth is that I don't know anything about water heaters and you saved me. Thanks again and best regards! Nico
