Hi, I had an issue with the water heater not firing up on propane. You could hear the solenoids clicking but apparently weren't opening. I replaced the gas valve and everything is working great (knock on wood). And since I can't leave things alone I tore the old valve apart and cleaned the plungers on the solenoids and tested them, re-installed it on the water heater worked, like brand new. But because it is a gas valve that could cause a fire or lots of damage I removed it and put the new one back on. I know, but I really had nothing better to do other than find out why and how it ticks. But for sure put a new valve on it's the safest and only way to go.
