It could a lose connection or bad wire. My fireplace was coming on intermittently. So I went to look at the wiring and lifted one of the wires and it came right on. So I knew that the wire was either bad or it was lose connection. It turned out being a lose connect . Works great now. So anyway check your wiring fist make sure everything is connected and not lose. It can be as simple as that.


HELP PLEASE!

I have a Heatmaster Vent-Free Gas Log set. It is operated manually (no wall/remote switch) I can get the Pilot to light and stay lighted but when I turn the valve to "ON" the burner does not light. I have cleaned the double burner and pilot area with compressed air. What can I do next?? Thanks for any suggestions.


(without any heat source near)

You may have air in the gas line and it needs to be purged. Disconnect
the line, open the valve until you smell gas. Close the valve,
connect the line and try again.

Don't hurt yourself!
