Can you light your pilot on your gas fire fireplace when your gas says off?
Maybe. Get the instuction manual for your fireplace. Depends on whether the OFF is master valve, or secondary valve. If no manual, hire a gas service company to do it, and show you how.
Why your gas fireplace smells like gas when it goes off?
A gas smell when a gas fireplace is turned off may indicate a gas leak, incomplete combustion, or a problem with the gas line or burner. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the fireplace to ensure safety and proper functioning.
Does rotating a gas valve on an indoor fireplace counterclockwise open or close the gas line?
All gas fireplaces have to have a shut-off valve within 10' and that will turn so the key or the handle is parallel to leave gas on and perpendicular to turn gas off. The valve inside the fireplace turns but not indiscriminately. The inner valve will turn to the pilot setting and depress to light the pilot. Once the pilot os stable the knob will un-depress and turn to the On position. For a manual valve this will turn on the gas flow to the main burners. If using a switch or remote turning the valve to On leaves the fireplace valve in a Ready position so the switch or remote will turn on the gas.
My gas fireplace pilot light works perfectly. However when I flip the switch for the rest of the fireplace to turn on nothing happens.?
I am having the same problem, possible one of two answers. It's either the switch or the valve. If you follow the cord from the switch it will have a black and a white wire attached to the gas valve under the fireplace. To rule out the switch as the problem take a ordinary paper clip and touch it to the two screws that the wires are attached to, thus completing the circuit and causing your fireplace to light. The other option is that it is the gas valve itself. when the valve is set to the on position and you flick the switch there are tiny little flappers inside the valve that open allowing the gas to flow though, sometimes they can be stuck shut if the fireplace has been sitting awhile. The best answer I got was to tap the sides and top of the valve with a screwdriver or wrench to jar them open. Other more unlikely options are that the gas valve is not set to "on", there is a on/off switch somewhere on the valve, or that your over all gas pressure in your house has been split to many ways and you don't have enough gas flow to actually run your fireplace.
How do you repair a gas fireplace?
Replace the thermocouple. The skinny copper line that goes from the gas valve to the pilot and senses when it is lit.
Why Gas Fireplace will not stay lit?
There could be several reasons why a gas fireplace won't stay lit. It could be due to a faulty thermocouple, dirty pilot light orifice, inadequate gas flow, or a malfunctioning gas valve. It is recommended to have a professional inspect and repair the fireplace to ensure it operates safely.
Gas fireplace When you turn on the gas you do not hear nor smell the gas The pilot light works What is your problem?
If you are not hearing or smelling gas when the gas fireplace is turned on, but the pilot light is working, the issue may be with the gas valve not fully opening or a blockage in the gas line. It is important to have a professional technician inspect and service the fireplace to ensure safe operation.
What can be causing the gas fireplace to have a strong gas odor?
A strong gas odor coming from a gas fireplace is likely due to a gas leak. This can be caused by a malfunctioning pilot light, loose connections, or a faulty gas valve. It's important to immediately turn off the gas supply to the fireplace, ventilate the area, and contact a professional to inspect and repair the issue to prevent any safety hazards.
