Remove the pilot assembly from the furnace and clean it up. You need to be careful when putting it back on at the gas valve so as not to crossthread the screw. Take a thin wire and clean the pilot orifice, then use a brush or sandpaper on the thermocouple.
How do I light pilot light on furnace
its in the pilot lamp.. you need to slide the orifice out of there to clean or replace every so often
No standing pilot, it is a spark ignition unit
At pilot light, pilot light flows around thermocouple.
For one to maintain a good furnace, one must: clean the furnace regularly, replace or clean the filter, service the furnace once or twice a year, make sure that the furnace is kept clean and dry to name a few.
Defective thermocouple or possibly a dirty or clogged pilot orifice.
If this is happening you need to get your furnace serviced by a qualified engineer.
i have a model 125u19 payne furnace i move the thermostat but nothing comes on in the furnace and the pilot light is lit
so when the pilot goes out the gas valve is shut off
No, but your furnace still does
The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner. And when this little flame fails to operate properly or go out, it's one of the most common reasons a gas furnace will fail to operate.
