TROUBLEShOOTING

MILLIVOLT SYSTEM

Note:

 Before troubleshooting the system, make sure the gas shutoff valve is ON. 

The two most common causes of a malfunctioning gas appliance are:

1.  Loose wiring connections

2.  Construction debris clogging the pilot and/or gas control valve filter

OBSERVED PROBLEM

Pilot will not light

Pilot will not stay lit

No gas to burner, although wall 

switch  and  valve  are  set  to  the 

ON position

Frequent pilot outage

Pilot goes out when wall switch 

is ON

Spark ignitor will not light pilot 

after  repeated  triggering  of  red 

button

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. No  gas  supply  or  shutoff 

valve is OFF

2. Air in gas line

3. Construction  debris  clog-

ging pilot orifice

4. Low gas pressure

5. Control valve knob is not on 

the PILOT position

6. Kinked pilot line

7. Bad control valve

1. Loose wiring on thermopile to 

regulator. No millivolt current 

being sent back to regulator

2. If valve knob and wall switch 

are in the ON position, prob-

able defective control valve

1. Wall switch wires defective

2. Thermopile  or  sensor  not 

generating sufficient voltage

1. Pilot  flame  may  be  too 

low, causing safety pilot to 

“drop out”

1. Millivolt output on thermo-

pile too high

1. Defective ignitor (no spark at 

electrode)

2. Defective pilot or misaligned 

electrode  at  pilot  (spark  at 

electrode)

3. Low line pressure

4. No  propane/LP  gas  in  tank 

(Propane/LP units only)

REMEDY

1. Check to see if you have gas 

supply

2. Hold regulator control valve in 

PILOT position for 2-3 minutes 

to purge air. If you smell gas 

stop and wait a few minutes 

before trying to light fireplace

3. Remove  debris  and  dirt,  in-

spect  and  clean  any  other 

possible obstructions

4. Contact your gas supplier

5. Turn control knob to pilot

6. Have  a  qualified  technician 

replace pilot line

7. Have  a  qualified  technician 

replace valve

1. Check wiring connections (see 

Wiring Diagrams

, page 15)

2. Have  a  qualified  technician 

replace valve

1. Check electrical connections 

and wires for continuity

2. See 

Pilot  will  not  stay  lit

above

1. Clean and adjust pilot flame 

for maximum flame impinge-

ment on thermopile

1. Have  a  qualified  technician 

replace thermopile

1. Check for spark at electrode 

and  pilot.  If  no  spark  and 

electrode  wire  is  properly 

connected, replace ignitor

2. Check  gap  at  electrode  and 

pilot. Gap should be 1/8" for 

strong spark. If gap is correct 

but no spark, replace pilot

3. Contact your local NG or LP 

gas supplier

4. Refill supply tank (propane/LP 

only)
