I cannot get my furnance to light, I have replaced the thermocouple, but
the pilot will not stay lit, even though it is very easy to light, what
should I do and what am I missing.



Press down the Pilot Light button setting to keep the pilot light lit
for half a minute or more. The thremocouple has to be warmed up
before it will generate a strong enough signal to keep the gas valve
open. Once the pilot light stays on turn the gas valve setting to ON.
