Gas Logs remote doesn't work
 

-------------------------------------

We have a ventless gas log set. It is turned on and off with the remote.
About a month ago the remote stopped working. We have reset it, changed
both the batteries in the remote and the base and still no luck. We were
told to blow out the sensor. Does anyone know anything about this. We now
have to turn it on with the base.

If you have a pilot flame, the ODS sensor is fine, and does not need to be
cleaned.

There should be a switch on the front of the receiver (Off - remote - On) or
something like that. Turn it to on. If it does not come on, it is either
the wire from the receiver to the valve, or the receiver is bad. Possible
bad valve, but not likely.

If it does come on, it is within the remote system. I know, but never
overlook the obvious, check the direction of the new batteries. Then try to
re-code the transmitter to the receiver. If that does not work, it is time
for a new remote/receiver.

I sell them if you get to that point.

Hope you have a C0 detector.

There should be a CO detector in every home with a combustion appliance,
just like all homes should have a smoke alarm.

Combustion appliances include:

Gas hot water heater
Gas Furnace
Gas oven
Gas range (cook top)
Gas dryer
Fuel oil furnace
Wood stove
Wood fireplace
Gas fireplace
Gas wall heater
Vented Gas Logs
Vent free gas logs
Automobile in attached garage

I'm sure there are several I have left out.

Also make sure the battery contacts aren't corroded. Finally before giving
up on the remote, the circuit board is probably very simple. Mine was and
had a bad solder in the receiver. I took the case off and pressed around
while working the remote and found the bad solder. Resoldered it and fixed
it. That was 5 years ago and its still working.
