Water Heater Pilot Light Goes Out ???

[Rbertalotto]

I have a 1998 Palonimo Bronco with a hot water heater that the pilot light constantly goes out. Even with no wind blowing.

Is there a way to resolve this or convert to electronic ignition?







Thanks in advance!

Pilot flame going out:

Low propane pressure
Dirty/obstructed pilot orifice
Weak thermocouple
Weak magnet in gas control
Defective ECO

Dirty orifice and weak thermocouple are easy/cheap fixes
Magnet/ECO.......requires new gas control valve. Pricey

Replace the thermocouple. Only a few dollars at Home Depot.

if your handy clean the assembly , iy should have a nice blue flame about a 1 inch long.
