Pilot goes out after heating cycle

Feb 27, 2009

-   I also have the same problem.  I sat and watched the cylcle to see when the pilot was actually going out.  After becoming impatient, I decided to turn down the thermostat to make the cycle stop sooner.  While still in the warm range the pilot would stay lit.  after the water got a bit hotter (top of the warm range) the burner turned off and the pilot seemed to slowly extinguish.  I was expecting to see it being blown out by the burner shutting off but that didn't appear to be the case.  I cannot re-light the pilot until the water has cooled.  I have replaced the Thermo-coupler.

-   Seems no one on the net can answer the question. It's gotta be a clear cut answer to such definate symptoms. Your description of problem is my EXACT problem also.-   floydgator1
