Clicking, then silence

Hear the igniter clicking away but the burner won't catch? On a unit with electronic ignition, the spark may be jumping the wrong gap, the ceramic insulator may be cracked, or the flame sensor may not see the flame, so the control locks out.

Spark gap, insulator, ignition wiring and flame sensor are tested against the maker's troubleshooting steps, and our pros reset the control once the fault is fixed. Batteries in a backup pack or receiver are checked too, along with the wiring connections at the module. Talk to our gas fireplace pros about the clicking unit in Chiefland by calling (352) 675-6366.

Meter-testing the pilot sensors

Two sensors sit in the pilot flame of a standing-pilot gas fireplace. The thermocouple produces a small voltage that holds the gas valve open for the pilot; the thermopile produces more, enough to power the valve for the main burner.

Maker troubleshooting charts, such as those in Hearth and Home's manuals, have the technician read each one in millivolts at the valve, with the pilot lit and with the switch closed.

Our pros take those readings before replacing anything. A weak reading points to a worn sensor or a pilot flame that isn't wrapping it; a good reading points elsewhere in the system.

Replacing the gas valve only when it's the cause

The gas valve is one of the costliest parts on a gas fireplace, and it tends to get blamed first. Maker troubleshooting charts put it last: the valve is replaced when the sensors read good and the switch circuit tests good, and the burner still won't come on.

With a meter at every step of that order, a valve is replaced only when the readings point to it.

When it is the valve, our pros fit the maker's listed replacement for your model and gas type, test it with a leak solution and set the pressures to the rating plate.

Fireplace blowers and their switches

Lots of gas fireplaces carry a blower that pushes warm air out into the room. It's switched on by a temperature switch that senses the firebox warming up, or by the control board on newer units.

When the blower won't start, the switch, the wiring or the motor can be the cause. When it's noisy, worn bearings or a fan caked in dust and hair are the likely suspects.

Our specialists test each part, clean the fan, and replace a worn motor or switch with the maker's part. A working blower sends a lot more of the fireplace's heat into the room.

Gas unit trouble in Chiefland

How do you clean cloudy glass?

With the maker's glass cleaner when the unit is cool, since ordinary cleaners can bake on. Black soot means a flame problem, and our specialists find the cause as well.

Can you fix a fireplace that got wet?
