How do you relight the pilot-light of the home heating furnace?
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.
What is the problem when the gas pilot light goes out when the knob is turned to on?
There are two possible causes for this: 1. The pilot light is dirty. You can tell if the flame is a yellow color. If this is the case, it will need to be removed and cleaned. 2. The thermocouple is weak. This is the rod that the flame burns on. It is a safety device to show a pilot flame is on before main gas is allowed to the burners.
What kind of flame is the pilot light of a gas stove?
a complete flame or a blue flame
Which is the flame that contiously stays lit?
The flame that stays continuously lit is called the pilot light. There is also an eternal flame that burns in certain cemeteries.
What should a gas pilot light look like?
A steady blue flame with no white or yellow flickering.
Where is the thermo coupler?
At pilot light, where pilot light flame goes directly onto thermo coupler.
How do you turn the pilot light on?
To turn the pilot light on, locate the pilot light button or knob on your appliance. Hold the button down and simultaneously press the ignition button to spark the flame. Keep holding the pilot light button for a few seconds to allow the flame to ignite and stay on.
What does the oven pilot light look like?
The oven pilot light is a small, steady flame located near the burner in the oven. It is usually blue or yellow in color and is used to ignite the main burner when the oven is turned on.

How do you light a pilot light on a wall heater?
To light a pilot light on a wall heater, locate the pilot valve and turn it to the "pilot" position. Hold down the control knob and use a long lighter to ignite the pilot flame. Keep holding the knob for about 30 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. Release the knob and the pilot light should stay lit.
Can not get pilot light to light on the fireplace?
If holding the controls in the LIGHT position for about 15-30 seconds does not keep your pilot lit, there is probably a problem with the thermocouple. That is the small tube that the pilot flame touches. Be sure it is not bent, and being missed by the pilot flame. They do go bad, and require replacement.
How close should the thermocouple be to the pilot light?
The thermocouple should be positioned within a few millimeters of the pilot light flame to ensure it accurately detects the heat produced. This proximity allows the thermocouple to generate the necessary voltage for sensing the flame's presence and preventing gas flow when the flame is out. However, it should not be so close that it risks damage from excessive heat or direct contact with the flame. Proper placement ensures reliable operation and safety.
