SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | ACTION | |||
|
|
|

1. | Spark ignitor will | A. Wire disconnected. | A. Open door and check to make sure wire is connected to ignitor. | ||
| not light pilot after |
|
| B. | Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode |
| repeated triggering of | B. | Defective ignitor. |
| wire is properly connected, replace pilot assembly. |

|
| C. Check remote/manual shut off valve from fireplace. Low pres- | |
|
| C. | No gas or low gas pressure. |
| sure can be caused by bent lines, restricted lines, low pressure |

|
| line pressure. Consult with plumber or gas supplier. |
|
| D. No Propane/LPG in tank | D. Check Propane/LPG tank. Refill tank. | ||
|
|
| |||
2. Pilot will not stay lit | A. Defective thermocouple | A. Check that thermocouple flame impinges on thermocouple. | |||
| after carefully follow- |
|
|
| Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement. |
| ing lighting instruc- |
|
|
| Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully |

|
|
| inserted and tight. |
|
|
|
|
| Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt |
|
|
|
|
| lead wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter lead |
|
|
|
|
| wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold |
|
|
|
|
| the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15 mV, |
|
|
|
|
| replace pilot assembly. |
|
| B. | Defective valve | B. | If thermocouple is producing more than 15 mV, replace faulty |
|
|
|
|
| valve. |
|
|
|
| ||
. | Pilot burning, valve | A. Defective switch, wall | A. Check switch and wire for proper connection. Place jumper | ||
| knob turned to “ON”, |
| switch, remote control or |
| wires across terminals of switch. If burner comes on, replace |
| switch is turned to |
| wire |
| defective switch.If the switch is OK, repeat the same procedure |
| “ON” or “RS”, but |
|
|
| on remote control If burner comes on, replace remote control. |
| burner will not ignite. |
|
|
| Place jumper wire across wire at gas valves (terminals marked |
|
|
|
|
| TH and TP/TH). If burner comes on, wires are faulty or connec- |
|
|
|
|
| tions are bad. Replace wire. |
|
| B. | Pilot flame too small | B. | If pilot flame is not close enough to the thermopile, adjust pilot |
|
|
|
|
| flame. |
|
| C. | Defective or malfunction- | C. | Check thermopile wire connections to make sure all are tight |
|
|
| ing thermopile |
| and that the thermopile is fully inserted into pilot assembly. |
|
|
|
|
| Check thermopile with a millivolt meter. Connect leads to TP |
|
|
|
|
| and TP/TH terminals on the control valve. If meter reading is |
|
|
|
|
| below 325 mV, replace pilot assembly. |
|
| D. Defective valve | D. | Turn valve knob to “On” and switch to “ON.” Take a reading at | |
the thermopile leads (TP & TP/TH) on the valve. If the meter reads greater than 175 mV and the burner does not light, replace defective valve.
