Over the past month I have been getting calls from all over the USA on the newer
Whirlpool Gas water heaters acting up....
I just had one yesterday at 2pm on a 2 year old unit that would not stay lit.....and this one was in my city.. The person told me their problems and I told them that I cannot work on that brand because the parts are not interchangeable with other brands and they would have to call Whilrpool to get parts sent to them... Of course this customer was a little peeved with me that I would not come out and look at the unit.....
I guess I am gonna have to go down to Lowes and just buy a common Whirlpool heater and see if they can be broken down and re-built with other Honewell parts like what is on the
Rheem heaters from Home Depot.....
has anyone ever taken a standard Honey-well valve and experimented with it to see if it would work on a Whirlpool unit??? I am also worried about liability with cross dressing these heaters with other thermostats made for other brands......
RUNS WITH BISON you got any professional advice on this matter??
