    Water Heater pilot light goes out sometime after it has been started
    I have a State Select water heater (six years old). The pilot light goes out sometime after it has been started - it seems to stay on while the heater is heating the water, but then shut off sometime afterward the burner has been running awhile (maybe when the burner shuts down). It lights up okay and stays lite after the burner lights - I don't have the endurance to watch while the burner is on. Any suggestions? Thanks. Bob
