anybody else having issues with the square burner type? rumor has it, reason the W/H keeps shuting down is due to overheating.... some people have said to take a screwdriver and poke holes in the burner screen and this will stop from happening,,,,,,,, when can the manufacturers get their crap together,,,,, i hear the 30 gal are the biggest problem...

I agree the problem is caused by the manufacturers. Keep in mind the manufacture made the change to their heaters because of new laws being made to protect us from ourself. Just like the 1.6 gallon flush toilets. Remember how bad they were when they first came out. In time I'm sure they will solve the problem. In the mean time we all have to pay for their mistakes.
