Gas Fireplace Wont Turn Off. Also, make sure you are turning the key in the correct direction. Anyone have experience troubleshooting gas fireplaces?
The pilot light would stay on, but the fire wouldn't turn on when you switched it on. When i first moved in the fireplace worked when using the wall switch. How do you normally turn the fire off and on? If you turn your pilot light off in the summer, you may have blockage inside your pilot tube (spiders like the the second problem (pilot wont stay lit) i fixed by lightly sanding the thermopile.
After you've waited a little bit, go ahead and light your grill as you normally would by turning the appropriate burner to start/high and hitting the igniter button.
Tonight, when turning it off via the wall switch, it stayed on (the main burner, pilot was also still on). First, always turn the power to the fan off when working on the gas (millivolt side)of the fireplace. If your pilot light is working but the main burner doesn't turn on, the problem is probably the thermostat. Most systems are installed so they vent to the outside.
