The detailed directions are printed on front of EVERY gas regulator. - However, in general terms, turn regulator switch to OFF for 2 minutes, then to PILOT and depress for one minute, then light pilot or press clicker till it lights. Keep PILOT pressed for 2 more minutes then slowly release it. If it stays on then turn main switch to RUN or ON. -If you have to light the pilot manually, use a barbecue match (12 inches long)
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
Most pilot lights are not adjustable. If it's not working properly the usual solution is to change the thermocouple.
Spillage excessive condensate bad thermocouple draft
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
The thermocouple is usually the first thing to change. It controls the valve and the spark ignition is just to light the pilot.
Have you turned the control from Pilot to On? Have you increased the temperature setting?
If the pilot light is on, the heater should come on by itself. If the pilot light is off then it has to be lit. If it will not stay on, the thermocouple is bad.
You don't. If the heater has an electronic spark, then it doesn't have a standing pilot to light. The spark lights the pilot when there is a call for heat, which in turn lights the burners. If the heater is on and the pump is RUNNING, the heater should light automatically when the water temperature is lower than the heat setting.
High winds, pilot generator. Is the heater located next to a wall? Is the heater door closed? Does the heater have a draft hood or what they call a stackless heater? Ken
the pilot light in my fireplace is working but when i turn the switch on (new switch) it wouldn't fire up
The most common reasons for a gas water heater pilot light to go out include a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot light orifice, a draft in the area, or a gas supply issue. It's important to have a professional inspect and repair the issue to ensure safe operation of the water heater.
Gas water heater has an orifice for main burner and for pilot light, if not electronic ignition.
Check to see if you pilot light is lit
Most likely your pilot light is out
