    Water Heater states "thermopile voltage low"
    I have a State Select gas water heater that's 2 years old and the pilot light is lit but were not getting hot water because the light that's blinking is stating "thermopile voltage low". What's going on and can it be easily fixed?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    A thermopile is just a high voltage thermocouple. Might have to remove some front metal. Google "replacing the thermopile on a State gas water heater". There are videos on line.
