Pilot light won't stay lit on ventless nat gas wall heater?

The pilot will light and stay lit with the knob in the "pilot" position. When I turn the knob to the heat control, the pilot goes out. Do I just need to clean the thermocouple?

    If it has a thermocouple you should replace it. If it has a flame sensor you can try cleaning with steel wool or fine sand paper
