What are the parts of a Paloma water heater?
If the fuse circuit and the thermocouple are not the cause of the pilot outage, we remove the magnetic valve and check that the valve is composed of three parts: a brass electromagnet, a white plastic housing with a spring-loaded rubber plunger on the end, and a rubber washer. The white plastic assembly snaps onto the brass magnet.

What causes pilot flame outage on Paloma water heater?
Twenty-five seconds is normal. Three components are responsible for pilot flame outages: thermocouple (usually lasts 10+ years), magnetic valve (only a problem after it’s disturbed; do not disturb it), or fuse circuit fusible link (usually the part that we replace). Through the process of elimination we will determine which part is at fault.
What makes a Paloma water heater turn yellow?
1. Observe pilot light with front cover removed. Any yellow indicates a plugged pilot air filter. A yellow flame is weak, tentative, lazily drifting, without continuous bearing on thermocouple tip. Solution: Take a deep breath and blow out the obstructed pilot air filter or use compressed air.
