I have a Rheem Criterion 2, and not lighting the burner consistently.

Ive notice that after the igniter lit the first burner 3 seconds later flame automatically shuts off. I replaced the flame sensor (left side) & thermostat and still doing the same.

Are all of the burners firing or just one?

If it's only lighting the first burner, the burners need to be pulled and cleaned or possibly replacement.

If in doubt call a pro !
