Pilot light ok. Turns on low and all burners light up and goes for ten seconds. then off.
I thought it may be thermocouple but I'm told the burners wouldn't light up if it were.
Any ideas?
NEVER MIND, ITS GOT TO BE THE THERMOCOUPLE
EDITED: repairman came and blew canned air on the pilot light apparatus. Says thats almost always the fix. Thanks to all and good job to those that said this.. Thanks!

That happened to me. It was the thermocouple but was just corroded and once cleaned with wire brush worked fine.

Clean the thermocouple with some non-metallic sandpaper or a wire brush.

Be very careful with canned air….they often use propane or butane and you don’t want to use them around anything with a pilot.
