[QUOTE="2busy, post: 2681945, member: 12213"] Sounds like a gas valve problem or thermostat problem. If the pilot light stays lit then it is producing the required millivolts to keep it lit. If it stays lit, then it has proved there is a flame. If there is no gas coming out to light the burner then the valve is not working. The problem may be the thermostat has not sent a signal to open the gas valve or it has sent the signal but the gas valve is defective. You need to follow the sequence of operations and find where the signal is being lost. Sometimes if it is an old manual thermostat, the anticipator in the thermostat has broken. That would be the really fine wire under the cover. I still think it is a problem with the signal to the gas valve.Not the thermocouple. Ok I see you have found the problem. Disregard [/QUOTE]
