Cloudy or sooty glass

Glass that looks cloudy or sooty needs assessment against the model's care instructions. Approved cleaning on a cool, switched-off appliance may remove deposits, but persistent marks, cracks or damaged seals need a closer look before further use. Appearance alone does not prove the cause.

Proper cleaning, a check of the gasket that seals the glass to the firebox, and a search for the cause of any soot, from misplaced logs to a pressure problem, sort it out. Glass that's etched or cracked is replaced with the maker's glass, since a unit shouldn't run with damaged glass. Reserve glass cleaning and a check in Waldo by dialing (352) 675-6366.

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.

Haze and soot on the glass

A white film on the inside of the glass builds up over time from normal combustion, and makers sell cleaners made for it. Ordinary glass cleaners can leave residue that bakes on when the unit heats.

Black soot is different. It means the flame is burning dirty, from misplaced logs, a clogged burner or the wrong pressure, and cleaning it off without fixing the cause just brings it back.

Once the unit is cool, the glass is cleaned with the right product, and then the search for the cause of any soot begins. Glass that has etched and won't clear is replaced with the maker's glass.

Smells that are normal and smells that aren't

A new gas fireplace, or one lit for the first time in months, can smell of hot paint or burning dust for a short while. Makers describe that as normal and advise ventilating the room until it passes.

A rotten-egg smell is different: that's the odorant added to gas, and it means gas is escaping. Manuals tell you to get out first and phone the gas supplier from outside, before touching any switch or control.

After the gas company has made it safe, our pros can check the unit and tell you which kind of smell you had and what caused it.

FAQs

When the pilot, igniter or glass acts up

Why won't my pilot stay lit?

The thermocouple or thermopile may be worn or out of the flame, or the pilot may be clogged. Our pros meter-test the sensors and check the pilot flame before replacing anything.

Does the valve need replacing?

Only if testing says so. Maker troubleshooting charts have the valve replaced last, after the sensors and switch test good, and our pros follow that order with a meter.
