Pilot light will not stay on Bosch natural gas tankless water hea

Bosch Tankless water heater Pilot light on an 8-10 year old unit. About every 3-4 months the pilot light will go out. Today, when this happened, the pilot light would come on but not stay on. This happened after I left for work. My wife has restarted the pilot light several times but was not able to get it to work today. Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Check to make sure the flame of the pilot is hitting the thermocoupling. If not then you can use compressed air to clean the pilot port and relight and check again. If the flame is hitting the thermocouple, then it may need to be replaced.

Probably the burner and parts need to be cleaned yearly as recommended in most gas water heater manuals. Both tank and tankless today recommend same.

I had a similar problem with mine and it turned out to be a plugged air vent sceen. This is the small dome like sceen on the gas valve. I vaccumed out the unit and have not had the pilot go out in over a year.

Pilot light goes out randomly on 6 year old Bosch Aquastar tankless water heater. When I restart it it may work for a day then goes out again.
The pilot light can be blown out just by the main gas being ignited especially if the pilot flame is a little weak. Some times a bit of grit gets into the pilot nozzle reducing the flow and hence a weak flame. Try cleaning the piolt jet nozzle with a fine piece of wire. You may have to dismantle the jet nozzle to clean it properly.

Bosch tankless GWH 1600 H NG won't always ignite. The igniter sparks, but doesn't always light the gas. It just clicks. When installed it lit every time, now it takes more and more tries to get it to...
The manual says to hold a match near the pilot while the ignitor is trying. It says that if the unit lights the pilot orifice may be dirty or clogged. Then the manual says to check the voltage on the igniter. It should be 1.3 volts DC minimum if it is not means the electronic control box is defective.

Let me know the status ...Kevin

Gas tankless water heater turns off during shower
Take the thermocouple out and match it up at any hard wear store. Maybe $10. Replace it .Make sure the flame is clean and hitting the rod in the center center. Ajust (Bend) accordingly.

Tankless water heater pilot light will not stay on
It is most likely the water valve stuck open, telling the controls to heat water, that it thinks is flowing through it, but without actual flow it overheats. Depending on how comfortable you are with taking it apart yourself, you could open the valve to see if it just needs cleaned out, or if you have a ruptured diaphragm or some other cause.
