How LONG are you holding the button in when the green indicator is showing. I have found, that you may have to hold it up to a minute. If so, then the Nut on the Thermocoupler is NOT tight. Usually, just a 1/4 turn on the nut will restore the millivolt connection. You do have to partially pull the refer to do this. Doug

Yep if it’s lighting but not staying lit then the thermocouple probably needs replacing.

That sounds like the thermocouple is bad.
