Reliance Water Heater Natural Gas Control Valve 100112336 Thermostat Compatible with A.O. Smith, Reliance, State, and American Branded Water Heaters

It works just fine.

My water heater is about 13 years old but it still looks brand new. It started acting up on me and would not stay on. Pilot light was on and I reset the control valve by turning it off and then back on again. It would fire up but the light on the valve kept blinking 5 times saying it was the temperature sensor failure. I looked up videos on YouTube on diagnosing the issue and finding out how to swap out the control valve hoping that was the problem. I ordered this valve and it arrived in about 2 days. I removed the old valve and replaced it with this one and it fired up right away. It has been working perfect ever since.

Make sure you realize it’s not returnable. It turned out that the stem on it was too short for our water heater and now we’re stuck with it.

I arrived in the stated arrival date. It was very easy to install. A simple video on YouTube gave instructions clearly. Replacing this particular part required very little that even a 5th grader can change it. As a landlord who has had to replace entire Water Heaters in the past and the incurred cost having to purchase a brand new Water Heater at $700 due to damage or wear intear for the same main part. This item was only $134 saving me over $600 dollars. I strongly recommend to any landlord to search everything on Amazon for your home and appliance parts.

This water heater gas control valve worked properly, and was delivered in a timely manner--not quite as quickly as the description showed, but it was delivered to a rural address. One caveat: The nipple to connect to the burner jet was shorter than that on the water heater valve it was replacing. It would be nice if more pictures of the back of the valve were included in the item description.

Fast shipping. Fixed my issue with HW tank.

Perfect

The item was perfect the costumer service impeccable 5 stars from me
