Yahoo Message Number: 104175
changed the controller card on water heater in LD  rear bath (86) it will not stay light runs a minute and turns off.  That is why I changed the old controller card. Does one have any ideas what is wrong with the water heater.

Been there - done that.  After installing the new controller with no success,  it was discovered that the wire to the igniter was loose inside.  Seems that the igniter is also the keep-alive sensor.  The loose wire made enough contact to fire the igniter but not for the sensor to function.  A new igniter (couple dollars) cured the problem.
The $100 card is now on the shelf as a spare :-(

Good luck with yours,

ray
