The Pilot light on but heater will not fire up?
the pilot light in my fireplace is working but when i turn the switch on (new switch) it wouldn't fire up
If one the burners of a gas oven is not emitting fire, when turned on, how would one go about fixing that and getting the burner to work?
Your pilot light is most likely gone out.You can relight it yourself though this can be DANGEROUS.Lift up your stovetop and see if you have all four pilot lights.If you do this is not the problem.Keep that burner off because natural gas can be deadly and call a pro to fix it.

What causes the gas flow to stop when you let off of valve when lighting pilot?
Pilot light is a safety item; to light the pilot, you need to heat up an internal thermocouple; When hot enough, thermocouple will hold open the gas valve on pilot light. If the pilot shuts off when you release the "button", either (1) you did not hold it in long enough & heat up thermocouple sufficiently -OR- (2) the thermocouple has gone bad. Replacements are standardized, easy to find, and well under $10 each, but, sometimes difficult to install.

Hot water heater hasn't been hooked up to gas for 4 months will the burner light right away?
No reason why it shouldn't. You will find a black dial for the temperature settings, to light the pilot light, there will be pilot light start setting, press the black dial in and hold it, light the pilot light and hold the dial down for about 10 seconds. The light should stay lit, once it does turn the black dial to the desired teperature setting.
Pilot light is on but flames wont light when you turn up the thermostat?
This question is not specific enough for a good answer. What is the appliance? A furnace? A cooktop burner? An oven? The first thing to check would be the igniter, which is what typically "lights" the gas coming from the valve. You can check an igniter with a simple continuity test using a test meter. If the pilot is lit, then there is no igniter, or the igniter lites the pilot, so if the pilot is lit how could it be the igniter. Bad thermocouple, this tells the gas valve that the pilot light is lit, if the gas valve does not know the pilot is lit it will not allow gas to come out of the valve, this is a safety feature so your unit does not blow up.

When the pilot light is off does the water heater still fill up?
The water continues to run into and out of the water heater. There is just no flame to heat it up.
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.
