FullySprinklered
In the Trades
Installed a w/h last week. It was a 12yr warranty Rheem gas appliance from HD. Everything went fine until I went to fire it up. The clicker wouldn't click. Tried to take the plastic cover off and see if the striker was loose, but the torx screw that holds it on was buggered up. It's the kind with the little hole in the bit to prevent unauthorized persons from working on it. Anyway, the post down in the bit hole was mushroomed and none of the bits would go in. So, I went out and robbed the striker from the old water heater and used that to jump the new water heater off. I made the customer aware of what was going on, and he will contact the company. Let's see what happens next.
You'd think someone on the production line could repurpose a finger long enough to check the clicker.
