Water heater pilot light out — Sacramento, California
A gas water heater that has lost its pilot light will stop producing hot water. Common causes include a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot orifice, or a draft blowing out the flame. While relighting the pilot is sometimes a simple DIY fix, repeated outages indicate a component failure that requires a licensed plumber or gas technician.
