Have a natural gas water heater installed in 05192017. Suddenly (after cleaning out the garage) it started giving me the 7 red flashes on a Honeywell Water Heater valve WV8860C1008. Up to this point was working fine.
So I don't believe it's the flu. It's mounted 24 inches above the floor with external flue throughout the room. Natural Gas in Central CA. (yea I know it's the left coast)
I followed the reset procedures for 10 seconds on the highest setting, then 10 on hot, then 10 on the pilot. Works for about a day.
My question is since it's a 6-year warranty and it has not been 6 years would it make sense to get Rheem to send out a replacement gas value? I don't have a problem paying for a new one if I can get a different model that will last at least another 6 years without the aforementioned problems.
Just don't know what model to purchase. OME is Honeywell Water Heater valve WV8860C1008.
Thanks, I have enough problems with PG& E and solar. This is not something I want to deal with in Perpetuity.
