Why does my Bradford White Water Heater pilot light keep going out, and I don't have enough hot water?
- A
  Alan WolfeAug 9, 2025
  If your Bradford White Water Heater pilot light goes out periodically and you're not getting enough hot water, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the unit has enough combustion air by checking for any obstructions in the jacket slot openings and cleaning the flame arrestor plate. Second, verify the venting system is properly sized and operating correctly. Also, check the gas supply and line pressure. If the water temperature is very cold, consider tempering the incoming water supply. If the thermostat is set too low, adjust it. If demand is too high, adjust usage. A plumbing professional can help if the heater is incorrectly sized. If the thermostat is not functioning correctly, it should be replaced. Finally, inspect the dip tube and replace if necessary.

What to do if my Bradford White Water Heater pilot lights, but the main burner won't turn on?

  If the pilot light on your Bradford White Water Heater lights, but the main burner doesn't come on, try these steps: First, check the temperature dial on the gas valve and adjust it to a higher setting if it's too low. Ensure that the thermostat isn't already satisfied. Check the gas supply and line pressure to ensure they are sufficient. If the gas valve has a wide differential or is out of calibration, inspect it for proper operation and replace it if necessary.
