[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3250575, member: 44328"] I'm not sure what the question is... Could the water be high enough that it covers the orifice under the burner and/or the pilot tube? Or maybe it was at one time, and the tubes are blocked with water? This would be a dangerous condition. Can you not see the flame when it sounds like the pilot is lit? If the water heater is not leaking, about the only place water could be coming from is a roof leak, maybe running down the vent pipe and ending up in the drain pan. Is there no sign of water outside of the pan, in the immediate area? I'm not a plumber either, but I did work for the gas company as a service tech for a while, so I have more experience with water heaters than electricity. [/QUOTE]
