Hi, I believe the thermocouple needs replaced. Sounds like it is a millivolt thermocouple and produces voltage to open the gas valve. Good luck. kstfas

SOURCE: the pilot light goes out

Hi there.
Check the thermopile, it must be clean and free of soot or any form of dirt. The gas pressure must be sufficient and all wiring should be tightly connected. Check also the hi limit, it should have continuity across its terminals when tested with an ohm meter.
Regards.

Wrong voltage thermocouple? must have 400mv, residential uses 25-40mv.

SOURCE: No Pilot Light

This device actually uses a thermopile it is part number P5047541. There are two things to check here ensure that you have had the right part installed be verifying the part number and also check that the sensing end of the thermopile is directly in the path of the flame.
