    Mike, you'll get a better answer if you post make and model number of the heater. Good luck

    Perhaps the thermocouple was not the original problem. Perhaps the water heater (including pilot) shut down for other reasons.
    Is this a sealed combustion chamber type heater? If so check air intake filter.
