Hey hey Jose D...
How old is the water heater.. Brand name... model number would also be helpful.
Sounds like you need to replace the THERMOCOUPLE... see 1st picture. But, I need to know how old to tell if this is an older style thermocouple or a newer closed chamber system (click on best thermocouplekit.pdf) that requires us to look at more than the thermocouple... could be a vapor switch, for example... ;)
Let me know...
