SOURCE: Pilot lights but main burner won't
sometime if the heater has been sitting for days spiders get into the burner area or the area between the tank and the burner and make a web blocking the flow. I have taken a compressed air in a can like the ones you use for computers laptops and blow air up the shaft and around the burner wait 2 minutes then try again. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 blowouts to work. Put the air compressor right in the little gas nozzle that comes out to light the pilot for the best results
SOURCE: Burner will not ignite as pilot light goes out when knob is released
Are you holding the knob for 30 or more seconds,If so,Clean or replace the thermocouple/Flame sensor.
SOURCE: The pilot seems to light but then when I turn the
let the pilot light burn for a few min and get hot after this try slowly moving the knob over to full burn. Sometimes it just need to heat up.
