A.O. Smith Water Heater Repair
When your A.O. Smith water heater flashes an error code or stops heating, you don’t need a general handyman guessing at the problem. You need a specialist who knows the difference between a thermopile failure and a gas control lockout.
At Water Heaters Today LLC, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing A.O. Smith residential and commercial water heaters. We stock the specific pilot assemblies, gas valves, and sensors required to get your hot water back on today.
Get Your A.O. Smith Water Heater Back Online Today
A cold shower in Las Vegas is not an option. Whether you have a ProLine® XE model or a standard Signature Series from Lowe’s, our technicians carry the diagnostic tools to read your unit’s “Intelligent Control Logic” status light and pinpoint the failure immediately.
We don’t just swap parts and hope. We test the thermocouple voltage, check the gas pressure, and inspect the combustion chamber. Our goal is a single-trip repair.
However, we also respect your wallet. In Las Vegas hard water conditions, repairs on units older than 6-8 years are often band-aids. We will tell you upfront if repairing your water heater is a smart investment or if the cost of the part exceeds the value of the heater.
Signs Your A.O. Smith Water Heater Needs Professional Repair
A.O. Smith units are smart; they usually tell you when they are sick. Before you panic, check the Status Light on the gas control valve (the box where you adjust the temperature).
Common A.O. Smith Warning Signs:
- Status Light Flashing: Count the flashes. 2 Flashes often means a weak pilot signal (thermopile). 4 Flashes usually indicates a high-temperature shutdown. Tell us the code when you call, and we can often diagnose it over the phone.
- Pilot Light Won’t Stay Lit: If you have to hold the knob down for 5 minutes and it still goes out, your thermocouple or thermal switch has failed.
- Sizzling Sounds: If it sounds like bacon frying inside the tank, you have internal condensation dripping onto the burner which is a sign of a cracked tank or flue obstruction.
- Luke-Warm Water: Often caused by a broken dip tube (the “DynaClean” tube) disintegrating and mixing cold water with hot.
How Our A.O. Smith Repair Process Works - Should You Fix it or Pivot?
Our repair philosophy is simple: We don’t patch bullet holes. If your unit has a simple mechanical failure, we fix it fast. But if the tank itself is compromised by Las Vegas hard water, we won’t take your money for a repair that won’t last.
- The Diagnostic: We arrive, check the error code, and test the safety sensors.
- The Warranty Check: We run your serial number against the A.O. Smith database. If you are under warranty, you might only pay for labor.
- The “Retail vs. Pro” Assessment:
- Scenario A: You have a solid ProLine unit with a bad sensor. We Repair.
- Scenario B: You have a 7-year-old Lowe’s Signature unit with a leaking drain valve and rust. We Recommend Replacement, because the repair cost is 50% of a new, better unit.
- The Fix: If we repair, we use OEM A.O. Smith parts to guarantee the warranty stays valid.
Our Commitment to Honest A.O. Smith Repair Service
At Water Heaters Today, we earn our reputation by telling you the truth, even when it means we make less money. If your gas control valve has failed, we will show you the part price.

Have Any Questions?
It depends on the age. The gas control valves on retail units are expensive ($200-$300+ for the part alone). If your unit is over 6 years old, the cost of the valve plus labor is often better spent on a brand new ProLine unit with a fresh warranty.
We understand the “Language” of your water heater. While other plumbers might stare at a blinking light and guess, we know exactly what the Intelligent Control Logic is telling us. We specialize in A.O. Smith systems, meaning we can diagnose a failed thermopile in minutes, not hours.
We offer transparent pricing, honest “Repair vs. Replace” advice based on the harsh reality of Las Vegas water, and the speed you need when your morning shower turns ice cold.
