    There is a flame sensor at the burner that may be causing your problem, try sanding it lightly with fine sand paper. The sensor looks like a rod with one wire coming from it and is attached to the burner . This sensor senses the flame and keeps the gas valve open. You could also have bad ground to the burner , this would be a green wire connected to the burner. Good luck, Mike
