A pilot light might not stay lit due to a few common issues, such as a faulty thermocouple, which detects the pilot flame and shuts off the gas if it goes out. Dirt or debris in the pilot tube can also obstruct the gas flow, preventing ignition. Additionally, drafts or improper ventilation can extinguish the flame. Regular maintenance can help identify and resolve these issues to ensure consistent lighting.

What The Pilot ignites?

The pilot light is a small flame which stays on all the time (as in older water heaters for example). When the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the main heating gas is turned on and the pilot light ignites it. There are many other uses for pilot lights. To conserve gas, modern water heaters generate a spark to light the gas.

What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?

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
