I bought this Kenmore water heater from Sears back in 2011. Well the gas valve is having the 5 flash "internal sensor error" issue which means replacement. The gas valve was discontinued but another replacement exists. I can't get in locally only online and I can't tell how much that won't work for the family. So the earliest it may get here is Monday but most likely Tuesday.
I found a valve that is similar and the same brand but meant for Bradford White. It looks like everything will hook up the same but just wanted some advice before I attempt to install it and if it doesn't work then possibly won't be able to return it.
