I have a gas fire place with a wall switch. I used the fire place last
night- no problem . It lit up and stayed lit for several hours. This
morning when I flipped the switch there was only a clicking noise and no
fire. Can any one tell me how I might be able to fix this problem?


Thank you,

No insult intended but since this concerns both gas and electricity and
you are unfamiliar with troubleshooting such, leave the repair to a
professional!

I agree with the note a caution.

OP left out if he could light the unit manually or if the pilot flame
is on. The wall switch is low voltage. The igniter may be dirty or
not aligned properly. Could be a bad gas valve?

Thermopile sensor ?
