Why is My Pilot Light Not Staying Lit? Common Causes and Solutions
There are several reasons why your gas water heater pilot light might be failing to stay lit. These include:
- Dirty Pilot Light Assembly: Dust and debris can clog the pilot light assembly, preventing a consistent flame.
- Faulty Thermocouple: The thermocouple is a safety device that senses the pilot light flame. If it's faulty, it will shut off the gas supply.
- Gas Supply Issues: A problem with your gas supply can also cause the pilot light to go out.
- Drafts: Strong drafts can blow out the pilot light.
Our engineers will thoroughly investigate the cause of the problem and explain the necessary repairs clearly, so you understand what's involved and the costs.
