|In response to Re: Gas water heater requires reset|
The gas water heater burners are not controlled by any power connection from the exhaust fan are they? The gas burners use a thermocouple which is a closed loop system which screws into the gas valve to prevent gas flow in the event of pilot out, and permits gas flow when the thermocouple is heated by the pilot, and the water temperature drops, requiring re-ignition. You seem to be describing two different (but related ) problems, unless the gas valve is interconnected with the fan controller. Thermocoulpe replacement is not terribly difficult, unless you really don't know what you are looking at. Electrical control sounds like it is outside your capacity. Do yourself a favor and call a LICENSED plumber.
: Could this be a DIY type repair?
