Gas Wall Heater Pilot Light Won T Stay Lit

The heater won t operate properly if the pilot flickers is too weak or goes out and the cause could also be blockages in the pilot tube.

Gas wall heater pilot light won t stay lit.

Blast some compressed air through the tube. You can test it with a multimeter. If it determines that the pilot light is off it shuts down the flow of gas. Put everything back together perfectly.

I replaced the thermocoupler and the gas valve with a new valve itt general controls b67ra56 and nothing different it still won t stay lit. Remove the orifice or the pilot light tube from the mounting bracket. The initial flame of the pilot heats the thermocouple which will signal the valve to stay open and keep the pilot lit and the propane heater functioning. Or use a single strand of wire and run it through the tube.

I have a gas wall heater and the pilot won t stay lit. Without it the water heater won t be able to maintain internal temperatures allowing the water to cool off. This device generates a small electric signal to keep the gas valve open when the pilot is on. If not then you have a problem with the gas valve.

The pilot light in your gas furnace supplies heat to your home. When the pilot on your wall furnace does not stay lit your furnace won t heat. Listen if there s a hissing sound. While this is an excellent safety feature a faulty thermocouple may decide arbitrarily that your pilot light is off when you want it on shutting down your pilot light and your furnace.

A number of reasons can cause the wall furnace to not light including a damaged thermocouple a clogged pilot. If the thermocouple is too far from the flame this can cause the pilot to go out and shut down the propane heater. The pilot light in your hot water heater does more than simply ignite the gas. You can fix this easily by moving the thermocouple closer to the flame.

Another cause of a weak pilot is a faulty thermocouple. An operational pilot light in your furnace means safety from the possibility of a gas leak. We hope that your heater will stay lit. When i hold in the pilot button to light it it does light but when you release it the flame goes out.

This pilot light may not always stay lit due to a variety of issues that may affect the gas supply or ignitor. Every gas appliance with a standing pilot that cycles on and off needs a thermocouple. If the pilot lights but won t stay lit the thermocouple is probably bad. Thermocouples detect pilot lights by sensing the heat they produce.
