Geyser pilot flame keeps dying

The pilot will not stay on, or the flame keeps going out.

Why this happens

  • A faulty thermocouple not sensing the flame
  • A dirty pilot jet
  • A draft or wind blowing it out
  • Low gas pressure

Safe checks you can try

  1. Gently clean around the pilot area (no water)
  2. Shield the unit from strong draft or wind
  3. Check the cylinder gas level
  4. A flame that will not hold is usually the thermocouple, a technician job
A repeatedly dying flame is usually the thermocouple, an inexpensive part a technician can replace.
