Problems of Water Heater Gas Valve

A water heater gas valve cannot be repaired. If a valve malfunctions it must be replaced.

If the pilot button does not pop-up when you release it, cut the gas off and replace the gas valve.If the control knob will not turn don't force it. Replace the Gas Top Burner Valve .If the high limit has shut the gas valve down the valve must be replaced. It will not reset itself. This will only happen if the thermostat has malfunctioned and the water reaches extreme temperatures, in which case the Gas Valve would need to be replaced anyway.
