Trouble Shooting
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution | |
|
|
| |
Spark will not arc | Defective piezo ignitor | • Check connections to ignitor. | |
to the pilot after |
| • If ignitor connections are good but no spark, replace | |
repeatedly pressing |
| ignitor. | |
the spark ignitor |
|
| |
Broken spark electrode | • Check for broken ceramic insulation, replace electrode if | ||
| |||
|
| broken. | |
|
|
| |
| • If spark is not arcing from electrode to pilot, loosen the | ||
|
| screws on the pilot base, adjust and tighten. | |
|
|
| |
Pilot will not remain | Problem with thermocouple | • Check for proper connection of the thermocouple to the | |
lit | circuit | rear of the valve. If loose, fully tighten. | |
|
| • Check pilot for full flame impingement around | |
|
| thermocouple. If flame is too small, check gas pressure, | |
|
| adjust pilot rate screw, check pilot head for damage. | |
|
| • Check thermocouple voltage at valve. It must be greater | |
|
| than 5 mV. If low, replace thermocouple. | |
|
|
| |
| Air in gas line (pilot dies | • Bleed line. | |
| while knob is depressed) | • Check gas line pressure. | |
|
| • Contact dealer. | |
Burners will not | Problem with thermopile | • Check gas line pressure . | |
remain lit | circuit | • Check for flame impingement on thermopile. If low, see | |
|
| “Pilot will not remain lit”. | |
|
| • Check thermopile for minimum of 300 mV when burner is | |
|
| switched on. | |
|
| • Check wiring to thermostat for breaks. | |
|
| BV ONLY: | |
|
| • Check for spillage at draft hood that may trip spill switch | |
Flame lifting | Leak in vent pipe | • Check for leaks in vent connections. | |
|
|
| |
| Improper vent configuration | • Check vent configuration with manual. | |
|
|
| |
| Terminal may be | • Check to see if terminal is on correctly. | |
| recirculating flue gases | • May need to install high wind termination cap. | |
|
| • Contact dealer. | |

Glass fogs up | Normal Condition: after the appliance warms up the glass will clear. | ||
| **Due to additives in gas, glass may get hazy during operation** | ||
| Clean as needed |
| |
|
|
| |
Blue Flames | Normal during start up: flames will yellow as the fireplace heats up. | ||
| May have too many embers on burner. | ||
|
|
| |
Flames are burning | Flame impingement | • Check log positioning. | |
“dirty” or sooting |
| • Increase primary air by opening the venturi shutter and/or | |
|
| by opening the vent restrictor. | |
|

Remote control | Problem with the remote | • One or more of the batteries are dead. See remote control | |
doesn’t work |
| instructions. | |
|
|
| |
| Problem with fireplace | • The on/off switch is turned to OFF. | |
|
| • The gas control valve is turned to PILOT or OFF. | |
|
