I have an older Purex heater with what i am assuming is an electric ignition (see pictures).
When I try and turn it on I hear the ignitor fire its usual sound(a buzzing) but i don't hear the sound (whoomp) of the fire starting. Light indicators show pressure and It all worked fine last use in the early fall of last year. The gas lines are all connected and valve turned correctly. We had heavy rains for SOCAL, this winter but no flooding. I have never had this problem before. There are no water or gas leaks that i can find and all seems to be normal. Any ideas before i call a repair guy? Thanks for the input.[attachment=1:gtj7rk63]007.JPG[/attachment:gtj7rk63][attachment=0:gtj7rk63]006.JPG[/attachment:gtj7rk63]
