I have a 40 Gal Richmond Power vent water heater that lights, burns for a few seconds, then goes out. This continues to cycle every 15-20 seconds.

I've replaced the thermostat and it does the same thing. What can I test or which parts do I start replacing?

Does your model have trouble code lights?

Have you checked the pressure switch on the blower?
