I've successfully replaced my hot water heater, but I'm having a real bastard of a time with the burner. After replacing the old unit with a slightly smaller new unit I can't get the burner to stay lit. The pilot will light (and stay lit indefinitely as far as I can tell), but as soon as I try to light the main burner with the temperature control knob, it ignites for about 3-5 seconds and then flares out. My gas main is working correctly; I tested the gas furnace and it operates just fine. Not sure what to do. I'm hoping this doesn't mean the heater I just spent all day replacing is defecive or something.

Rd Rash 1000cc posted:where did you get the heater from, how many BTU's is it? Lowes', it is a Whirlpool 30 gal 30,000 BTU natural gas unit. I am calling the warranty/customer support line tomorrow to see what the deal is.
