Clean the flame sensor...

I cleaned it with 100-grit sandpaper. I uploaded the results to the
photo album. Reinstalled the burner assembly...still doesn't work.
Now it will only stay on as long as I actually hold the button down.

Is it expected for the thermocouple to be soldered in place? I think
I have to replace it now, but have no soldering equipment.


If you don't have the tools and don't know how to fix the problem, you
should call in a professional.
