It regulates the temperature of the water by controlling the flow of gas to the burner assembly. A faulty gas control can result in issues such as no hot water, water that is too hot or too cold, or a pilot light that will not stay lit. Replacing a failed gas control thermostat with a genuine Rheem part helps restore safe and efficient operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part is intended as a direct replacement for compatible \u003cstrong\u003eRheem natural gas water heater models\u003c\/strong\u003e.
