Water heater flame goes out when you release reset button?

If the water heater flame goes out when you release the reset button, it may indicate a problem with the thermocouple, which senses the pilot flame and ensures the gas valve stays open. A faulty thermocouple or gas valve can prevent the flame from staying lit. Additionally, issues like a clogged burner or insufficient gas supply can also contribute to this problem. It’s advisable to consult a professional technician to diagnose and fix the issue safely.
