Light Steam Power ended in 1981.
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
Pilot light would work but the main burner would not as the thermocouple proves that there is a pilot light to fire. The main gas valve would not open
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
No. The pilot valve is closed when no flame is sensed by the thermocouple.
Gas stoves require that the pilot light is lit on the oven because otherwise it would just be leaking gas.
How do I light pilot light on furnace
Simply put, no. Some gas stoves use an electrical system for ignition. Others have the typical pilot light that needs a real flame to manualy light it.
To turn on the pilot light on a gas appliance, locate the pilot light button or knob and turn it to the "pilot" position. Then, press and hold the button while using a long lighter to ignite the pilot light. Keep holding the button for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit. If the pilot light goes out, repeat the process.
To turn on a pilot light, locate the gas valve and pilot light knob on the appliance. Turn the gas valve to the "pilot" position and press down on the pilot light knob while using a lighter or match to ignite the pilot flame. Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit, then release the knob.
Pilot light for what? There should be no pilot light on a heat pump. Is this another silly homework/exam question?
The pilot light goes out when the gas appliance is turned to the "on" position because the flow of gas is redirected from the pilot light to the main burner, causing the pilot light to extinguish.
The pilot light can go out due to a variety of reasons, such as a draft, a dirty or faulty pilot light assembly, or a lack of gas flow.
Turn the knob on the top of the gas valve to "Pilot" and hold it down. Put your match or lighter near the pilot and it should light. Continue holding the knob down for about 30 seconds then release, and the pilot should stay lit. If it goes out then you may need to replace the thermocouple (the gold color rod that the pilot flame burns on) or have the pilot cleaned if it has a yellow flame.
To start a pilot light on a gas appliance, you typically need to locate the pilot light button or knob on the appliance. Turn the knob to the pilot position and hold it down while you use a long lighter or match to ignite the pilot light. Keep holding the knob down for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit. If the pilot light goes out, repeat the process.
How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
At pilot light, pilot light flows around thermocouple.
