  If the burner on your Costco Patio Heater won't light, the LP cylinder might be nearly empty, leading to low gas pressure. Alternatively, the orifice could be blocked, so try removing, cleaning, and replacing it. Ensure the control knob is turned to the ON position. A bad thermocouple could also be the culprit, requiring replacement. Lastly, check that the pilot light assembly is correctly positioned; if it's bent or out of place, reposition it and try again.

  If the pilot light on your Costco Patio Heater won't stay on, there may be debris around the pilot, so clean the area. Ensure all connections are tightened to resolve any looseness. A faulty thermocouple could also be the cause, requiring replacement. Check for gas leaks in the line by inspecting the connections. Also, make sure that the LP cylinder isn't nearly empty, as this can cause a lack of gas pressure.

  If the pilot light on your Costco Patio Heater won't light, first, ensure the gas valve is turned ON. If it still doesn't light, the LP cylinder may be empty and needs refilling. A blocked orifice can also prevent ignition, requiring cleaning or replacement. Air in the supply system can be another cause, so purge the air from the lines. Finally, check all fittings for any loose connections.
