Is sears Joking??

Had a similar problem with a gas water heater I bought ftom Lowes. It cost $100 to have a local plumbing / heating guy come put and clean the burner and igniter. It worked a couple days and quit again. I took my original sales receipt to Lowes to see if there was any warranty left. I was given a newly designed burner/ igniter (no charge) that I insalled myself in a half hour.
It has worked perfect ever since. Tmm
