replace it if you don't have the time to clean it.
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
The water heater pilot light may not stay on due to issues with the thermocouple, gas supply, or a dirty pilot light. It is important to check and potentially replace the thermocouple, ensure proper gas flow, and clean the pilot light to resolve the issue.
The heater pilot light may not stay lit due to issues with the thermocouple, gas supply, or a dirty pilot light. It is important to check and clean these components to ensure the pilot light stays lit.
Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.
You shouldn't need to clean the pilot. If it frequently goes out you need anew thermocouple.
A number of problems can cause a swimming pool heater not to work. The most common I have found is lack of water flow. A heater needs a certain amount of water flowing through it to work correctly. The next most common problem is due to the pilot not lighting or remaining lit. This is usually due to the pilot generator not working. When you light a pilot light and have to hold it for a length of time before releasing the button you are allowing the pilot generator to heat up and then stay open to keep the pilot lit. Usually you need a licensed person to do work with changing items on a gas unit. The thermostat can be a problem for any water heater. Most of the heaters I have worked on were gas. If you have an electric heater waterflow still needs to be checked and the electrical connections can become corroded in the presence of chemically treated pool water.
To replace a water heater gas valve, first turn off the gas supply and water heater. Disconnect the gas line and pilot tube from the old valve. Remove the old valve and install the new one in its place. Reconnect the gas line and pilot tube, then turn the gas supply and water heater back on. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and manufacturer instructions.
its in the pilot lamp.. you need to slide the orifice out of there to clean or replace every so often
To adjust the pilot light on a Warm Morning heater, first turn off the heater and allow it to cool down. Locate the pilot light assembly, usually found near the bottom of the unit, and ensure the gas supply is turned off. If necessary, clean the pilot orifice and adjust the flame by turning the adjustment screw on the gas valve. Once adjusted, relight the pilot according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the flame is steady and blue.

I need to replace the pilot light on a superserve calor gas fire as the flame is blue on the bottom and yellow at the top
The water heater pilot can go out due to issues such as a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot light, or a lack of gas supply.
