Replacing the thermocouple that the pilot flame touches when it is lit will fix the problem 90% of the time. A thermocouple costs about ten dollars and allows the gas to the pilot and main tube to flow by generating millivolts from the heat of the pilot flame. The thermocouple is a copper wire attached by a small nut to the main gas valve near the pilot tube coming out of the gas valve.

Why would burner pilot light extinguish shortly after firing up on Laars Lite Model LLG Pool heater?
Have the thermocouple checked or spillage from down draft and make sure there is free air for proper combustion
Have a laars lite 2 pool heater and cannnot get pilot to even lite you hear gas bleeding but it will not lite?
Good chance its your hot surface ignighter that has broken. Check to make sure that there is 120 v or far more common 220v at fenwal Depending if heater is wired for 120v or 240v. If proper voltage is present ignighter is broken. by zoomy
Pilot will not light?
If it will not lite at all, copper pilot line kinked,,, bad gas valve, if you have the button on pilot and depressed down all the way. Will light but not stay lite, bad thermocouple.
What could be the problem with a Teledyne-Laars pool heater that will not light It makes the clicking noises and never lights you turned the gas off for 5 minutes but nothing?
It sounds like the spark module is working but maybe corrosion is preventing gas from getting to the spark. How long has it been since burners pulled and inspected? If u can understand how a gas grill doesn't lite when its been too long between cleanings its the same basic thing.
Replaced the pilot generator on a Laars lite and it generates 670 to 700 millivolts however pilot won't stay lit when releaseing the valve Is it a bad gas valve Is it worth the money to replace?
Assuming you are getting that measurement at the valve would indicate a strong pilot generator and if the valve still will not open then I would pronounce the gas valve DOA. To replace the valve cost can vary from $350 to $650 depending on the Contractor due keep in mind that you've replaced the Pilot Generator and now a valve to finsh the job right install a new Pilot Body with the correct orifice and that will round out a reliable system.

Why won't your laars lite pool heater turn on The heat exchanger temperature sensing bulb and siphon loop assembly have all been replaced with no leaks.?
When was the last time the filter was cleaned? Have all the components in the heater system been checked for proper values? Does the heater sound as if it wants to fire up? Does it have a pilot light or electronic ignition? Have the orifices been checked for bugs or spiders? Ken
How do you unseize the gas valve on a Laars Lite pool heater?
If a product like wd40 does not work easily Get a new gas valve, Why risk loosing your house over a 100-200 dollar part. If the gas on your car was stuck well you get it.
my oven will not turn on, even thought the pilot is on and lite. so please if you have an idea please send me an answer on this email,?
If the pilot is lit and it still won't turn on, then there is a big problem and you should contact a mechanic.
What is wrong if your pilot light will not stay lite?
High winds, pilot generator. Is the heater located next to a wall? Is the heater door closed? Does the heater have a draft hood or what they call a stackless heater? Ken
What is the difference of lite and not lite in the app store?
lite from the app store- is a demo and not lite is a full game
What causes a gas hot water pilot lite to go out?
No, that is part of the function of the pilot light. To light the burner and to keep the gas valve open. The thermocouple sits in the flame of the pilot and produces a small electrical current that keep the gas valve open. When the tank cools down, the thermostat opens the valve to the burner so that it can light. When the pilot goes out, it is usually the thermocouple that is bad.
