You may have the gas valve selected to pilot. Turn the knob from PILOT to ON. It should fire immediately. If you have a wall mounted thermostat, make sure it's set to a point that calls for heat.

Should the pilot light be on for an empty gas water heater?

Pilot light alone will not produce enough heat to damage the tank, but the main burner will destroy the tank and possibly start a fire. Why would anyone want to leave the pilot light on an empty tank?


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.


How do you light the pilot on a Robert shaw heater when the knob only says ON and OFF and there is no PILOT indicator?

It probably doesn't have a pilot light. Turning the nob to the on position causes a click start - which is a spark that lights the flame. It's like most gas grills you buy today. Most furnaces are the same way now. Pilot lights are rather a thing of the past.

How do you light the pilot on a whirlpool gas dryer?

I don't know of any dryers that have a pilot light. They have glow plugs which glow red hot before the gas valve is opened so that the gas will ignite. If the glow plug is not working it probably has a crack and needs to be replaced. The dryer will not start without it.


Why is the first episode of everyshow are call pilot?

When they start making a series, they don't know if it will be successful, so they broadcast a pilot and if that goes well, they make the rest of the series. I think some pilots do have proper names though, I don't think there's any rule that says it has to be called Pilot.
