    Sounds to me like the thermocouple, that detects the heat from the burner, is faulty.


    When it does not detect heat from the burner, it shuts down the gas

    Thank you so much for your answer. I now at least have an idea what it might be.

    depends on type of pilot. hot surface or flame pilot. thermocoupler or flame sensor may be bad. fan stays on is normal for some .
