Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
First make sure the thermocouple is positioned correctly. Second disconnect the gas valve end of the thermocouple and and CLEAN it quite well. Also clean the mating area where the end of the thermocouple mates to the gas valve. The reconnect the termocouple.

There are several things that can cause this problem: Restricted air flow due dust or debris that clog the heater. A damaged fan or higher surrounding air temperature, which causes the thermal limit switch to shut the heater down.
Taping the the button down to force the operation of the heater is not safe. As you will override the automatic safety features, that shut the heater down in an emergency.
I have included a link to the Owners Manual for your heater, that you can download and print for future reference. It should help you to further troubleshoot and solve the problem.
