Since yesterday Pilot light in furnace was out so i went out bought
thermocouple and replaced it. I wasn't able to light up pilot light
after so many tries I held i down for 15 minutes. Finally it woked and
remains lit. But when I turn on the thermostat(manual) not automatic it
remains on then goes off. Also other thing i noticed it if put the
thermostat to max pilot goes out right away. Could it be Thermostat or
something else? Thanks


Yes, replace the thermostat. Replace the thermocouple too. You
probably got a bad one.


That would make two bad thermocouples in a row, plus a bad thermostat.
Do you really think all 3 are bad? I don't.
