if it was not drafting properly, then it was senseless to attempt a
repair or replacement...the venting must be fixed!

The venting was either done wrong or your chimney may be plugged.


I have no clue and apparently neither do they. It did work for a while.
Now it simply will not light at all. I did try again twice.


I agree that venting may be the problem (bird nest?) but usually, it
would light and then go out once the burner was on. Could be the
overheating burned out the thermocouple or something though.

Be sure they check the vent at both ends and run something through it.
