sounds like your thermocouple has a thermal fuse. its made to burn out and stop main burner from coming on. sometimes water heaters,the inside vent line [shaped like a donut] will crush and wont vent the hot gass out and the main burner will come on and burn the thermal fuse. need new water heater.
