Control valves do go bad, but not that often. The tip of the thermocouple is in the flame? Holding the pilot button down long enough for it to heat? Sometimes the first time you light it, it takes a little longer for the thermocouple to work. Good clean connection on the valve end of the thermocouple? That's all I can come up with at the moment.

What causes Grill pilot light on wolf salamamder grill to keep going out thermocouple ok valve new?
If a Salamander Grill keeps going out and the thermocouple is okay and the valve is new then a faulty thermostat could be the cause. Replacing the thermostat or re-calibrating it generally solves the issue.
How do you replace a thermocouple on a hot water heater?
The thermocouple is the small tube that runs between the pilot light and the control valve. The valve end unscrews and the pilot light end in held in place with a spring clip that the tip pushes through. Unscrew the valve end and work the pilot end out by twisting it and pulling it out of the clip. Install a new one making sure the end is in the pilot flame and light the heater. No gas will come out when you take it loose from the control valve.

Is it dangerous for oven pilot to go out?
It could be, but if it keeps going out you need a new thermocouple fitted.-This is the device that keeps the gas open to the pilot and thus controls the regulator. They cost less than $10 and can usually be changed in less than an hour. If you haven't done it before I would suggest hiring a competent handyman to do it, or if you are quite mechanically inclined, Youtube it to find any videos of it.
How do you change a therm-coupler on a water heater with no opening to the polite light area?
I'm guessing there is a cover over the opening with a small window in it to view the pilot light and you push a sparker button to light it? I haven't changed the thermocouple on one of these but have installed several new ones like this. If this is the type you are working on, the cover plate should be held on with a screw on each side. I think the manufacturer intends for you to take the entire burner assembly out and replace it or buy a new heater. The thermocouple can be replaced once you have the burner assembly out. Disconnect the main gas line that goes to the burner and the smaller one for the pilot light and the thermocouple. The assembly comes straight out of the hole with the cover plate. Put a new thermocouple in place and re-install. Another thought, you are sure it is gas and not electric? Just asking.
Why your water heater pilot turns off?
You possibly need a new 'thermocouple' -this is a device that sends a signal to the regulator to turn on. They commonly fail, not a big job for a gas technician. -Call one to repair it, about a 1 hour job.
How do you light pilot light?
The detailed directions are printed on front of EVERY gas regulator. - However, in general, turn regulator switch to OFF for 2 minutes, then to PILOT and depress for one minute, then light pilot or press clicker till it lights. Keep PILOT pressed for 2 more minutes then slowly release it. If it stays on then turn main switch to RUN or ON. If the pilot must be lit manually, I use a barbecue match ( 12 inch long ) NOTE - If the pilot will NOT stay lit, then you need a new 'thermocouple'
