This story will address the most common issues associated with gas-heated appliances illustrating how to identify and resolve them with ease. 

What Is the Purpose of a Pilot Light?

A pilot light is a very rudimentary device that is not just a course of ignition. It is a flame that is fed continually by a tiny bit of gas at all times.

Dirty Pilot Light Hole

This hole may be small, but it often needs better protection. Therefore, it is susceptible to dirt and debris entering the space and quickly causing a tiny pipe blockage.

Gas Feeder Hose Kink

Gas is fed into your appliances through a long and complicated underground network that constitutes a national gas system.

Faulty Thermocouple

Any modern gas-fueled appliance with a pilot light will also have a thermocouple as an integral safety mechanism.

Malfunctioning Main Control Valve

If you have established that none of the above reasons are the source of the pilot light outage, you can move to a more severe issue.
