The enhanced
design provides the latest technological advancements in gas water
heating. All Whirlpool® standard gas water heaters enabled by 6th
SenseTM technology use a premium Honeywell gas valve, with tighter
temperature control and advanced diagnostics.
Features and Benefits
Self-Powered Electronic Gas Valve: has fewer
moving parts than a conventional mechanical gas valve, for
durability and long life - no external power source is needed.

pilot fast and easy.
Built-In Safety Features: automatically shut
down the water heater if air supply becomes restricted or
overheating threshold is reached.
The Flame Lock® Safety System: reduces the risk
of accidental fires involving flammable vapors from products such
as gasoline, paint thinner, and solvents. 
Self-Cleaning Dip Tube: reduces sediment
buildup for heating efficiency and long tank life. (9 & 12 year
