Even with routine maintenance your water heater can malfunction. Before you call a plumber it is important to check and make sure that it is not something simple, like a blown-out pilot light that is causing the problem. Simply take the cover off the front of your water heater and check the pilot light. You should be able to see the small flame through the opening. If it is not lit, you can follow the instructions on the panel and try relighting the pilot. If the pilot will not light after the first couple attempts, you will need to call a plumber to come out and find the problem for you.
