have a gas wall heater that the pilot light lights up and stays on, when the heat comes on it stays on for a few minutes and then the gas and pilot light both go off. I hear a click just as these happens?

My propane wall heater will do this if it gets too dirty. It needs to be cleaned out when this happens. I am unsure of the names of the parts but there is a small pipe with a little nozzle on the end for the pilot light. There is a vent hole in that nozzle on the side that gets clogged. This needs to be removed and blown out with compressed air. Then there is the piece where the flame for the heat comes up... this also needs to be cleaned out.

As I said, this is on my blue flame wall heater... yours may be different. And... don't try taking it apart if you aren't mechanically inclined. It is worth the money and safer to have someone come in and fix it.

Thank you very much! That did the trick. Found a piece of lint in the small hole. Thanks again.

LOL... good thing that it was so simple.
