Gas Fireplace Shuts Off And Comes Back On

There are multiple things that could be going on.

Gas fireplace shuts off and comes back on.

Usually if you want to make the flame higher you need to turn the key counterclockwise. You need to put the key back into the keyhole if you want to adjust the height of the flame. I admit i m no expert when it comes to gas fire places but i had an old gas heater that displayed similar issues and it turned. Pilot light stayed on the whole time though.

I called a service person and he couldn t fix it without recommending we spend 500 to replace a part. It took quite a while. The thermo couple is a sensor that senses heat a. So we chose to leave it.

The first thing you need to do it call a hearth professional and have the unit serviced. They turn off the gas lines during the summer so that the line runs to the pool heater.

The thermocouple is a small device that generates electricity from heat they are used in gas furnaces and such to shut off the gas in case the pilot goes out so gas doesn t continue to flow and fill the room.

I have a heatilator dls 18 gas fireplace installed in 1993. The previous owners installed the fireplace less than 1 year ago. On the contrary if you want to. It turns on fine but after perhaps 10 minutes sometime 30 minutes the length of time varies the unit simply goes off.

When your gas fireplace shuts off and pilot goes out usually it means that the thermocouple is bad or on the way of being bad. I can t believe my eyes but this fixed my fireplace too. We turned the gas lines back on and bled out all the air.
