Woke up this morning to only cold water in the shower - wife was very
unhappy considering only she has to work today. This is a 6-year old
free venting State Select natural gas.

I can light the pilot and turn up the thermostat only to have
everything go out within a minute or two. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The most common cause is a bad thermocouple, or one
which is not in good contact with pilot flame.
But you could have a flue blockage (in the chimney or
even inside the heater) which is choking the flame off.
