Gas Fireplace Shuts Off After 20 Minutes
The problem is that when i turn the fireplace on via a switch on the wall the fireplace fires up and all is good.
Gas fireplace shuts off after 20 minutes. I reach in to th. That was a month ago. It shuts down after 20 30 minutes of operation pilot goes off we moved into a new place and we started the fireplace today. Though i don t worry too much about carbon monoxide poisoning i figured there must be some safety device to shut off the gas valve.
I ve had a gas fireplace for about 5 years in my master bedroom and it has worked fine. The pilot gets great contact with the thermocouple when the fireplace is off and its just the pilot lit but when i turn on the fireplace the pilot light gets a little smaller still a strong blue and does not get great contact with the thermocouple. I have a heatilator dls 18 gas fireplace installed in 1993. Heat n glo fireplace fire goes out after a while after 20 min or sometimes up to 1 hour but pilot stays on.
Gas fireplace fire goes out after 20 minutes but pilot stays on. After it goes out and i attempt to relight it the burners will only stay lit for about 5 mins. The pilot lamp was blue. To start the flame you need to press the trigger that is on the lighter.
It should say on until i manually turn it off i found that when i first light it the burners stay lit for maybe 15 20 mins. Then after about 4 minutes both the fireplace flame and the pilot light kick off. The fireplace does not have an automatic tempature shut off. Gas fireplace shuts off and pilot goes out after that you need to insert the butane lighter into the gas tube.
The butane lighter is located near the center of the gas logs. It turns on fine but after perhaps 10 minutes sometime 30 minutes the length of time varies the unit simply goes off. I relight the pilot light and the same thing happens after a few minutes of turning the. Problem started after gas to the house had been turned off for the day.
It seemed to work a few times but now it will last for maybe 20 minutes and shut off.
