I waited a couple of days to be sure it was fixed, but our water heater is now working like a charm.
The help desk guy at Rheem was true to his word and overnighted the part he said would fix our water heater. It got here about 10 a.m. on Saturday. What he sent was a new control valve assembly.
I was distressed to see that it did not come with a new thermocouple, but it turned out that I wasn't as right about the problem as I'd thought. The thermocouple was working normally - the problem was the way the control valve read/reacted to the signal.
Once the new valve was installed, the water heater went back to working like a new water heater should.
