The fireplace pilot light may not stay lit due to issues with the thermocouple, gas supply, or a draft in the chimney. It is important to check and troubleshoot these potential causes to ensure the pilot light stays lit.
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
my boiler wont ignite
The thermocouple is bad. The thermocouple is the small metal tube that sits in the pilot light flame and runs to the control valve. The thermocouple generates a very small electrical current that keeps the gas valve open. They go bad regularly. **** I would have to say to check to make sure the valve is not in the "Pilot" position. If it is then turn it to the "On' position. If it still isn't working then you may have a bad Gas Control Valve. If the thermocouple was bad the pilot light would not stay lit. If the pilot light stay lit, it is doing what it is supossed to do.
THERMOCOUPLE or defective gas valve
The flame detector on the pilot assembly is probably defective. If you do not know how to fix this, call you gas supplier and have it repaired.
Check the starting directions, most gas heater pilots must have the button depressed for more than 30 seconds. If this does not work there is a problem with the regulator.
check for a vehicle theft system?? Is the Light Illuminated. does it stay on:::
Most likely the thermocouple is bad. The thermocouple is the little tube that sits in the flame of the pilot light. Runs from the pilot light to the control valve. Very simple to replace. Costs about $6.
Electronic ignition refering to it having a sparker to light the pilot light? That just lights the pilot, there is still a thermocouple that controls the gas valve. The thermocouple is the small tube that sits in the pilot flame and runs to the control valve. To replace, you will need to remove the cover plate, gas line, thermocouple, and sparker wire as a unit and replace the thermocouple once you have it out and them re-install the unit.
Stay in what? More information needed. It's none of your business why my penis wont stay in
Not an expert, but a homeowner. MOST gas fireplaces (and other appliances) have a flame sensor- frequently in the form of a thermocouple. Intended to prevent gas from flowing when there is no flame present. If the thermocouple is bad, it will shut off the gas flow even when a flame IS present. It may look like a small rod that is in the flame of the pilot light. I would REALLY hand this of to a professional gas repairman. The cost of having this done right is FAR less than the cost of doing it wrong.
Bad thermo,replace. The thermo senses that the pilot is lit and opens gas valve,also could be bad or blocked gas valve.
