[A/S] Furnace pilot



Hi list,

I just went through that repair yesterday but it was on my hot water heater 
pilot light, it would stay lit for exactly one minute then shut off.  I 
replaced my thermocoupler first thinking that might be it but it kept on 
doing it.  My repair man asked how much propane was in my tanks as if they 
are overfilled he said the pressure could cause it to happen.  That too, 
wasn't my case.  He brought over an air tank and blew out my vent on the 
outside of the trailer and that did the trick, must've been some quick moving 
spiders or leaves blocking the vent, all sorts of debri flew out and I closed 
my eyes so didn't actually "see" the culprit!  Give that a try, hope it works 
for you!
