My American Water heater/proline had a faulty valve when new. It took a few months for the pilot to stop working. It got to where I could not relight the pilot. Luckily I had bought it from the gas company and after trying to get me to pay for the repair they sent out someone to replace the valve free. Heater has a 10 year warrantee (nothing compared to the old ones where you could get a 20 year model) and it was crapping out in months?
I honestly think the gas company made the repair for free because it was a known manufacturing defect. After a new valve , no problems in 3 years.
