Water Heater pilot light won't stay lit HELP?
Jun 06, 2009 by wildkat4510 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
My water heater pilot light will defer lit for a a little while and then goes out. I have to keep re lighting throughout day, I do not think it is the thermocouple, I do think it is an air flow issue. So how do I go about getting that established???
Is it a 2003 or newer water heater?
If it is, the US domination mandated changes in the combustion system that has affected the operation of the burner. The popular brand water heaters now call for periodic cleaning.

a new thermal three may be the problem, is it windy lately where you live? you may be able to turn up the pilot flame (slightly) and fix it free. you can substitute for the thermal couple for maybe 20 bucks if neither works it's new water heater time
