Why won't the pilot light stay lit on my Williams Wall Furnace after following the lighting instructions?

If the pilot light won't stay lit on your Williams Wall Furnace, there are several things you can check. First, make sure the pilot flame impinges on the generator. Next, clean and/or tighten the generator connections at the valve. You can also check the generator with a millivolt meter, ensuring a reading of 450 millivolts or more at the generator terminals of the valve while in the 'Pilot' position, with the thermostat wires disconnected. Additionally, try removing the thermostat wires from the valve terminals; if the pilot stays lit, trace the thermostat wiring circuit for a ground. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the gas valve may need to be replaced.
