Want this question answered?
You can hire someone to do it for lots of money (I did that). Or you can light it with a match (that's what the guy I hired did)
Most pilot lights are not adjustable. If it's not working properly the usual solution is to change the thermocouple.
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
Make sure gas is on and shut offs are open Turn gas valve to PILOT position Push knob down and light pilot HOLD knob down for aprox. 30sec-1min Slowly release knob Pilot should stay light (if not troubleshoot) Turn know to ON position Adjust thermostat to desired position
because its leaking out gas
the pilot light in my fireplace is working but when i turn the switch on (new switch) it wouldn't fire up
Gas water heater has an orifice for main burner and for pilot light, if not electronic ignition.
Most likely your pilot light is out
