Default Pilot (sometimes) won't light in gas water heater

Last week, my water heater stopped heating.


Just to close the loop on this:

The burner itself was broken into two pieces. I'm guessing the broken
piece was partially obstructing the pilot (or our view of it).

Whirlpool sent us a replacement for pretty much all of the guts and
now we have hot water.

I am really appreciating showers with warm water now. Thanks for the
responses.
