o/t hot water heater fix?

ok- was micro switch hidden on top of the hot water heater, behind a couple of wire nut things-- I had overlooked. There is one at the bottom and one at the top.

He said it was a bit too hot up there possibly because the draft was getting slowed down a bit, and that may have triggered it to pop--
I looked down chimney cleaned it out a bit, but no substantive result other than he recommended a CO2 alarm just in case.

I had no idea this section was here; otherwise I would have posted it in here originally! This is definitely where it belongs, -now I know.
Thanks all!
