Can I replace the thermocouple in my water heater?

Answer by  nathan88 (47)

Typically, on most heaters the thermocouple is able to be replaced. I have had one replaced on mine. However, this should be left to the expert technician. You do not want to injure yourself or the unit by trying to replace it yourself.
