The Sears Kenmore Power Miser 6, 40 Gallon, Natural Gas water heater is a poorly designed product. I recommend that if you are needing a water heater, to stay away from this product line, and this specific water heater (the Sears Kenmore Power Miser 6, 40 Gallon, Type: Natural Gas).
I have now been waiting for about a month for a thermocouple part to replace the thermocouple on my two-year-old Sears Kenmore Power Miser
6, 40 Gallon, Natural Gas water heater. This part is on backorder because, I believe, they can't keep them in stock because the thermocouple assembly is failing for many customers who have purchased the Sears Kenmore Power Miser 6, 40 Gallon, Natural Gas water heater over the past few years.YCTML.
