My fryer pilot stays on, but shuts off when I turn up the heat. Has anyone dealt with this?

The pilot lights and stays on, but it drops out as soon as the fryer calls for heat. I don’t want to keep relighting it if something else is wrong.

That happened with one of our fryers. The pilot would hold until the fryer called for heat, then it shut off. I didn’t keep relighting it because it’s gas equipment. We had the thermopile and high-limit checked and went through the warranty company. I’d turn it off and get a licensed tech instead of trying to bypass anything.
