erin s answered question 8/16/2007 My Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit On My Gas Water Heater,what Do I Do? IF THE PILOT WON'T STAY LIT, IT MAY BE THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH MINERAL BUILD UP ON IT. NATURAL GAS LEAVES A WHITE-ISH MINERAL SIMILAR TO CALCIUM AROUND THE PILOTS AND IGNITORS. IF THAT IS NOT THE CASE, TRY REPLACING THE THERMO COUPLER. (STAT)
