Why does the pilot light on my appliance keep going out and how can I fix it to stay lit consistently?

There are a few reasons why the pilot light on your appliance keeps going out. One possible reason is that there may be a draft in the area where the appliance is located, causing the pilot light to flicker and extinguish. Another reason could be a faulty thermocouple, which is a safety device that shuts off the gas supply if it detects that the pilot light is not lit.

To fix this issue and ensure that the pilot light stays lit consistently, you can try the following steps:

1. Check for any drafts in the area where the appliance is located and try to eliminate them by sealing any gaps or cracks.
2. Inspect the thermocouple to make sure it is positioned correctly and not damaged. If you notice any issues, you may need to replace the thermocouple.
3. Ensure that the pilot light is clean and free from any debris or dirt that could be blocking the gas flow.
4. If the pilot light continues to go out, you may need to call a professional technician to troubleshoot and repair the appliance.
