    Why won't the pilot stay on in my Landa vhp3-2000?
    • K
      Kevin DavidsonSep 9, 2025
      If the pilot ignites but will not stay on when the gas cock dial is released on your Landa Pressure Washer, it could be: * The pilot is too far away from the thermocouple. Adjust the thermocouple closer to the flame. * The thermocouple is loose at the regulator safety valve. Tighten it to a firm fit.
