I've just replaced the thermocoupler in my Trane XE60 furnace as per instructions from the gas guy (just had the gas turned on after being off for 3 months; just purchased a condo). I have a feeling the furnace is still the original one from when the house was built about 20 years ago so it might be time for a new, efficient model.
Anyway, replaced the T/C and now can't make the pilot light stay lit. The tip of the T/C seems to be just to the side of the pilot light (but still in the flame, but not the center of it). The pilot light ignites okay with a bbq lighter but even after keeping the button pressed down for a minute it won't stay down and shuts off. There doesn't look to be a way of adjusting where the T/C is pointed to in it's bracket.
Any quick answers would be appreciated as it's getting cooler here in NJ.
Thanks, Ian
