    My Rheem is not heating
    I turned on my Rheem 90 and it is not heating. Do I need to do something with the pilot?

    Hi Rooster...

    This may seem like a silly question, but did you turn your thermostat up to a high enough temperature for the unit to turn on? If not, then that is probably the issue right there... ;)

    Otherwise, if I know the unit, the unit has an electronic ignition so the pilot should come on no problem... UNLESS THE DOOR IS OFF. Here, the door must be in place before the unit will turn on... has a safety latch (I think).

    Try this stuff and then pop back if the issue is not solved, OK?
