The solenoid triggers the switch like an internal toggle switch. Reinstall the solenoid “hand-tight” so it is not over tightened in the valve. The solenoid can be removed with a flat head screwdriver. This could be caused by over tightening at the original factory, by constant heating an expanding and by a combination of these two causes. Sometimes it is possible the solenoid has become too strongly attached inside the control valve. This control valve with solenoid is used with remote controlled receiver and transmitter.

Then press any button on the transmitter for the receiver to remember the proper code for that transmitting controller.įinally, this specific fireplace valve uses a solenoid control.

Hold the Learn button for about 5 seconds until a series of beeps indicates the box is wiped clean and “listening. Most received boxes are very versatile and will learn tens of thousands of varying transmitting codes. A receiver box will have a “Learn” button on it and sometimes when the batteries are changed or if the power is interrupted by heat the code for the transmitter will need to be relearned. If the batteries are fully charged or new and the receiver box is not damaged by overheating but the fireplace will not light the next thing to check is the receiver codes. We do not go to the compressed air can first because we do not want to blow the foreign substance into the pilot assembly. Once it has been vacuumed we may also use a can of compressed air. We bring a small but powerful vacuum and leave it lying against the pilot assembly to cause flowing air to pull anything from these small air holes. Usually when our service technicians are called to a home because a vent-free gas fireplace will not properly light this maintenance issue is the problem. Ventless gas fireplace oxygen depletion sensor Ventless gas fireplaces should be cleaned as part of typical maintenance but when they are not properly cleaned these tiny holes are small enough to be severly clogged by tiny bits of dust, pet hair and pollen in the air. On the sides of any pilot tube are small holes in the pilot light tube that allow oxygen to be sucked into the tube to mix with gas and allow the pilot to burn. The ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) is a very simple function that leaves a thermocouple in the pilot light so the thermocouple will cool and turn off the control valve if the pilot light begins to raise up looking for oxygen to keep it burning. The other problem with unvented gas fireplace has to do with the safety features that must be used in every vent-free gas log. If the batteries are damaged by heat while inside the receiver box, inside the fireplace the receiver box is usually irreparably damaged. Often if a fireplace with a remote control will not be controlled by a remote the problem is either low batteries or batteries damaged by heat. There is a real danger to overheating a receiver box because the receiver box holds batteries that can be damaged by heat. The receiver is hard-wired to the fireplace burner control valve and most people leave their receiver inside the fireplace. The on-off remote control combination of a receiver-transmitter use the same idea as a toggle switch and it is common to replace an old style toggle switch with a receiver box in order to convert a gas log fireplace to a remote controlled unit.Ī receiver box acts like the toggle switch turning the fireplace on or off and the hand held transmitter or any other kind of transmitter flips the toggle switch to the “on” or “off” position. Peterson and Vanguard, Majestic and Superior fireplaces also had toggle switches. Some older gas fireplaces used to have a toggle switch attached to the control valve inside the fireplace. This gas fireplace has an on-off remote controlled valve made by Rasmussen. She called her installer and he also could not get the fireplace to light. Her pilot light was burning but she could not get the fireplace to light. This New Years weekend I received a telephone call from a customer who purchased an alternative ventless glass gas fireplace from us a little over a year ago.
