Check the rear flue to make sure that it is free of any blockage. Replace the thermocouple. Watch the flame to see if the pilot continues to stay lit as the unit calls for heat. If the flame lifts off the pilot, you may need to adjust your gas pressure. You could have a bad high limit switch (looks much like your thermostat probe). Jump it out and see if it continues to run. Worst case would be a bad gas valve. Good luck.
Hi, from the above question, the problem is not with ht thermostat but with the control board. The control board fails to hold onto power when the device is heated up, that why it goes off automatically..
Take care
Hi, when the whole unit shuts down including the pilot light the
thermocouple is not working properly. The thermocouple is what tells
the gas safety valve that the pilot light is lighted. When the
thermocouple fails and does not send the milli-volt (mv) signal to the
gas safety valve due a failure the gas safety valve turns off the gas
supply. (i.e total shut down)
If you have a handyman around you
can have him disconnect the thermocouple from the gas valve control and
clean the mating area in the gas valve and on the bitter end of the
thermocouple. After cleaning then reconnect the thermocouple. This
sometimes corrects the problem. FYI you can get a thermocouple at most
any large appliance parts supply. (You will need to the know total
length) It would be even better to have the old one in hand during the
trip to the parts store.
Take care
