Hello... trouble with the water heater.
First the pilot wouldn't lite.. so i turned it off for 10min to clear the gas and tried
it again and the pilot worked. I hold the pilot button down until the status flashes but
the pilot goes out when i let go the button. I was told there is a reset button so i pushed what i thought was the reset but it doesn't push or click. Any thoughts?
Is this a good question?

@cameraparts4you , Be extremelly careful working with your gas appliance, if unsure contact a Qualified Technician. Dirty TC( thermocouple), faulty TC, pilot flame to not set properly/small or not close enough to TC, partially plugged pilot tube, faulty/bad gas control valve, all could cause pilot not to stay lit. Check the attached links troubleshooting,instruction, Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Tested the Thermopile and the mV reaches above 500 mV and continues to go up after about a minute of holding down the pilot button, but as soon as you let it go it drops back down to almost nothing.
