Pilot light for what? There should be no pilot light on a heat pump. Is this another silly homework/exam question?

How do relight your pilot light on a whirlpool stove?
Simply put, no. Some gas stoves use an electrical system for ignition. Others have the typical pilot light that needs a real flame to manualy light it.
How do I relight a heater's pilot light?
Usually you can relight it with a lighter, and it will be good. If not you should shut it off so that you don't have a fuel leak. It shouldn't take much to fix any way.
How do you reignite a boiler?
There should be a sticker on the boiler or the gas valve telling you how to relight your particular model.

How do you relight the pilot-light of the home heating furnace?
Turn the knob on the top of the gas valve to "Pilot" and hold it down. Put your match or lighter near the pilot and it should light. Continue holding the knob down for about 30 seconds then release, and the pilot should stay lit. If it goes out then you may need to replace the thermocouple (the gold color rod that the pilot flame burns on) or have the pilot cleaned if it has a yellow flame.
How do you reignite a gas furnace?
You should not be relighting the furnace, if your unit does not have an automatic ignitor you merely need to relight the pilot light and the instructions to do that specifically for your equipment can be found somewhere on the unit.
Can you light a gas stove with electric pilot when the power is off?
You can but it just has to be done manually..
Do electric water heaters have pilot lights?
No, electric water heaters do not need a pilot light. The heating element is heated by an electric current (similar to the 'eye' on an electric stove or the heaters in a toaster). When the circuit is completed, electric current flows through the element, and it gets hot, and when the electricity is turned off, the element starts cooling. In a gas water heater, the pilot light is a flame, which is always burning. When it's time to heat up the water, the main gas valve is opened, and the pilot light ignites the gas, so that the main burner heats up.
If I turn the gas on but the pilot light isn't on does the gas keep running?
On a stove it will. On a modern, code-compliant water heater, space heater or furnace it will not, because these modern appliances have electric valves that will not open if the pilot flame goes out. Once the pilot is out, the only way to get gas to flow is to push the pilot button in on the gas valve and relight the pilot flame according to the instructions. You can check for gas leaking from the pilot burner or main burner by smelling for the scent of gas, as natural gas and LPG (propane) have an odorant added to allow you to detect their presence. (Do NOT use a flame or spark to test for the presence of gas!)
How do you relight the pilot light?
If you have an automatic lighter connected to the thermostat follow these directions: - Turn the on/off/pilot valve to 'pilot' - Hold the button on top of the controls down completely. This is the thermocoupler button. - While keeping the thermocoupler button pressed down push the automatic lighter button until the pilot light lites. You can see it lit through the viewing glass. - Keep holding the thermocoupler button down for a minute after the pilot light is lit. - If it does not stay lit then your thermocoupler is probably bad and needs to be replaced
You replaced the thermocouple in your furnace but the pilot light still goes out when button is released?
The pilot flame has to encompass the top half inch of the thermocouple. A dirty pilot will sometimes point the flame away and therefore not heat the thermocouple enough to hold. Take a small rubber hose about two feet long and point it at the pilot orface and blow through the hose to remove the ash on the pilot surface Now relight and try it out.
