There was probably nothing wrong with that valve OR thermopile.  With THAT, I have to wonder whether, upon their realization that THAT’S the case, they’ll go and try to return the parts they’d installed after realizing they were not  the problem.

You and I both know that that isn’t the case.  If it’s electrical and you opened it, you own it.  There is never any reason to just replace parts without knowing the exact problem and what caused it.  The only variation from that is a intermittent that will not present when you are there. Even then, recorders help.  They are definitely the hardest for all of us.
