Default gas fireplace problem


wrote in message
ups.com...
We have a gas fireplace in our livingroom.The pilot light is on but I
can't get it to turn on so as to give of heat.I turn on the switch but
nothing happens just the pilot light.How do I fix this problem?


First, you determine what the problem is. Do you have a multi-meter or some
way of checking to see if the gas valve is getting power? Next would be a
thermocouple that senses if the pilot is on. Many good hardware stores
carry replacements and they re fairly cheap.
