This problem occurs when the pilot generator is not producing enough millivolts. The pilot can be on, but as soon as you turn on the thermostat the electrical load is increased and the safety magnet shuts off. This is usually caused by a weak pilot flame. If you remove the pilot orifice and clean it, that usually works.
