I turned down the thermostat on the water heater and the pilot light stayed lit. Probably the problem is in the thermostat safety circuit. It is very low. I will try seeing if I can adjust it higher and have it still work.
That will at least buy me some time while I work out getting a new water heater. ( Read more... )
The pilot will not stay lit after the water hear finish a cycle. Probably the thermocouple or the safety valve assembly. So time for a new one

Apparently I am really hard on my laptop power supply. It broke again. this is the 3rd time I have pretty much worn it out. I improvised a temporary repair until I can get home and do a more permanent one. At least I HOPE I can get it functioning again. :/
