Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit.
Have had my Power Miser since 2006 and never a problem. Pilot light went out yesterday, and after twenty tries, it will NOT stay lit. After looking online at all the complaints by other owners, is this endemic to this product? What is the main problem. According to many posts, they are told to replace many things, and when none work, they are then told their vents are not right. Please don't make me go through all this. Just tell me what the problem is and HOW TO FIX IT. Thanks so much.
