Hi,
Maybe interlock switch problem if it has a fixed glass front.

turn the gas valve from pilot to on?
replace the thermocouple?

Try replacing the switch that turns it on. It's a cheap fix before you try
anything else. That was my problem a few years ago -- change the switch.

First, you determine what the problem is. Do you have a multi-meter or some
way of checking to see if the gas valve is getting power? Next would be a
thermocouple that senses if the pilot is on. Many good hardware stores
carry replacements and they re fairly cheap.
