The plumber fixed the water heater
in about ten minutes and charged us
$138.91 for the trouble. He said that
the thermal coupling had stopped
doing its job (which is a thing that,
I learned, tells the heater to give it
some gas). He might as well have
said Your main flux-T oscillator had
rotted due to its proximity to the ion
pulse modulator, which is common
in these older heaters. I wouldn't
have known the difference. I was
just glad to have dodged a bigger
thousand-dollar bullet right before
the holidays. You can get hung up
on lots of possible cosmic injustices
until you find out your problems are
just caused by a bit of built-up soot.
$138.91 is big, but not so big, and
a warm shower makes all the difference.
