10 yr old gas water heater worked fine this morning, not heating tonight. No pilot light, can't get it to light. Doesn't seem to be getting gas. Need troubleshooting tips or is it time to call the man.

Bad thermocouple would be my first guess.

Sure its no gas? Crack the line coming into heater to check and make sure you are. Will the pilot light and then go out when you let off?

10 year old heater should probably be upgraded. Try blowing it out with a air line. Mine did what you described once and a good cleaning with a compressor and blow off nozzle worked.

I would try a thermocouple first as well. It may have a leak inside the liner that just won't allow it to light. Mine did that a few years ago and I had to swap out the water heater. It acted like it wasn't getting gas though, or it would light them immediately go back out.

Took it apart and cleaned/blew it out. Had to hold the red button down about 30 seconds and the pilot lit. Working now, will be looking for a thermocouple to have on hand just in case.
