I don't know what you mean by a "flame rid".

Could you mean a thermocouple. That is a rod connected to wires. When in a flame it heats up and puts an electrical current out which keeps the pilot light valve open. If the pilot light goes out it will cool and shut off the gas.

The thermo couple will often go bad and it is easy to replace it. This will allow the game valve to work.

I can send you a odd copy of the Solaire furnace manual if you need it
