Pilot Light In Gas Fireplace Went Out. <p>sometimes, the pilot light and the fire in my direct vent fireplace in the master just mysteriously goes out too. If the stove or fireplace doesn't have electronic ignition then yes its looking for a pilot lite i used to have a old water heater that did this , turns out the problem was defective gas regulator making the pressures go.
Some of the possible serious reasons for pilot lights to go out include loose or broken gas valves. No pilot light, no gas flow, no fire and no consumption of gas. The fire will be burning and throwing out good heat.but then it just shuts off including the pilot light. Sometimes if you turned the thermostat all the way up it would.
Older gas pilots waste gas and have a safety that turns the gas off if the pilot goes out.
My direct vent furnace pilot light issue was the glass viewing port was missingallowing room air to blow out the pilot light. Pilot light problems are common in gas appliances, such as water heaters, furnaces, and gas fireplaces. In this hvac training video, i show up close how the thermocouple, pilot light, and gas valve work on a water heater, furnace, fireplace, as well as other. If yours has one, make sure the thermocouple.
