    Teystey - Is the control separate from the heater itself or on the hot water heater?
    If its on the heater then more then likely it is the gas control valve , it is not funcationing right, you will probably have to get a new one to replace that one Try calling your local gas person to come and check it out for you
    Good luck and stay safe;; GOD BLESS :: F.B.E.
