Common Culprits Behind a Troublesome Boiler Pilot Light
Many factors can cause a pilot light to fail. Some of the common ones include:
- Faulty Thermocouple: This safety device shuts off the gas supply if the pilot light goes out. If it's failing, it might not sense the flame properly.
- Blocked Pilot Jet: Dust and debris can clog the small opening in the pilot jet, preventing a steady flow of gas.
- Drafts: Strong drafts can blow out the pilot light, especially in older boilers.
- Gas Supply Issues: Problems with the gas supply to your property can also affect the pilot light.
