That is not a model number that sounds familiar. Should be a tag on side of water heater behind cover, outside. If it has the little arm adjustment for temperature on top of gas valve, simply move it over a little to the left to increase water temperature, and try it until temperature is what you are happy with.
I'm assuming when you say it goes out completely that the pilot remains on and water heater re-lights when called for? If you adjust that temperature lever over, and water still doesn't get hot, you need to replace gas control, as thermostat is built in to it.
Hi. I am also working with my Jade J81 with varying success. I think I once solved the problem you are describing! I think the pilot flame is too weak! THere is an adjustment screw hidden behind the threaded cover cap marked "PILOT ADJ". Turn that slightly counter clockwise and the flame will increase. If the flame does not respond much, then remove the entire module with the thin pilot gas pipe and ensure the front part is clean and free from dirt.
I have another question to anyone that may know! There is also an adjustment marked "VENT"! What is that? What functions does it have in the system? Thanks. Fredrik
