   No fur, the water was cold overnight. I called the dealer, they want me to bring the small circuit board in to check. He said it should be clicking to light, and that most likely is the culprit. Ill let ya know

	Is the water already hot? you say you tested it on elec. If the water is hot, the gas side won't light.

	Hi guys I dewinterized and im getting ready to go out for 2 days on friday. I ran the heat for 10 mins or so, it was fine. I was just testing everything out. I tried the water heater on elec, it worked. I put it on propane and it was "clicking" (the igniter) and not lighting. I went to watch with the hatch open and saw a small fire, then nothing. I realized i was out of propane. I got it filled and the propane tank good now. I tried the water heater again and i smell plenty of propane, but no clicking of the igniter. ive tried a dozen times. I put the furnace on, it works fine. I checked a couple fuses, seem ok. Any idea why no igniter clicking?? Also, is it dangerous to light it with a lighter if i had to? Thanks
