We've just moved into a new rental home in Melbourne. Here's what happened-
We turned on the pilot light the other day. We hadn't used it until today becuase we were staying elsewhere. The hot water kicked in enough for me to do a few lots of dishes. Then I went to have a shower a few hours later and the hot water lasted for a couple of minutes. I went to check the pilot light - which is still on. There are three settings, Pilot, On and Off. I think the setting is on Pilot. I went to turn it to what I thought was On and there was a big gas WOOOSSSHHH sound so I turned it back to Pilot (I think). The flame is still on but we don't have hot water.
Okay so should it have gone WWOOOOSSSHH when I turned it to On? Should I just leave it for a plumber to have a look at?
And yes, I know, I'm bloody hopeless!
Thanks for your input.
