Heat N Glo Fireplace Won't Light
Переглядів 30 тис.3 роки тому
The pilot would light but the flame would not ignite. This fireplace has an electronic ignition system with NO standing pilot. The control module and control valve are manufactured by Dexen. The orange wire to the valve controls the pilot flame and the green wire controls the main burner. This solution only works if the pilot lights, the spark igniter stops sparking, and the pilot flame stays l...

I just got a brand new heat n glo installed. It lights and the flame comes on and then it dies down to like nothing and starts beeping at me. Could be the same issue? My landlord has left me high and dry
My Heat & Glo SL-750 pilot would not light. My inlet pressure is about 8iwc. I get no pressure on the outlet port. I also replaced the OEM Dexen module and I’m only getting 200mV at the green wire. The pilot barely lights and the spark is staying on even after getting a small flame. I’ve tried tapping many times but it hasn’t helped. Do you think I have multiple issues here?
200mv is not enough to open the pilot valve. In case this is a false reading, I would take the pilot assembly out and clean out the pilot orifice.
@@flueflame5438 ok thank you. I’ll check that. I just connected the original Dexen module and same thing… 3vac input and 200mV at the green wire with my black lead on the valve chassis. Odd that both old and new Dexen modules have the same reading at the green wire. Maybe a bad chassis ground?
There is a black wire in the control module wire harness. The wire is screwed to the fireplace body. This is the ground wire for the system.@@BigEasyPatriot
@@flueflame5438 I appreciate your help. I’ll remove the ground and see if it’s still making a good connection with the chassis. Fyi…I believe my system is from 2006. Might just be time for a complete upgrade 😂
Mine worked but than fire keeps coming on and off…..
clean out the pilot and check the flame sensor
Smacking it worked but the fire keeps going out and then on by itself. Any idea what the issue is?
What is the make and model number of your fireplace?
@@flueflame5438 I have a heat n glo SL-5-IFT with this problem plus constant beeping
I call that the "fonzi" method.
Mine pilot lights along with the main burner but then turns completely off and on intermittently, would that be the pilot valve sticking? I already changed the control module and the same thing happens.
The flame sensor may be the problem. check the flame sensor wire for continuity.
This fixed mine too! Thank you. Saved a service fee.
Im trying this tomm wish me luck lol
good luck
It didn’t work, i’m going to try the thermocouple next. Thx for the video
Thanks!!!! Gently knocking the right side worked!!!!
Great. Glad it helped.
Thanks real helpful thanks for saving me time and money 😊
I'm glad this helped you.
You are the man. This was exactly my issue. Appreciate your simple and straightforward video.
THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! Worked first tap on my 10 year old heat and glo wall gas fireplace
Crazy, isn't it?
I can only imagine the service tech send me out of the room first and then give the valve a good tap . He’ll then ask me to come back in and hand me the bill for $250 dollars. 😂😂 Thank you for sharing your expertise! Merry Christmas!
I always wait until the customer is not looking when I tap the valve. I then clean the glass and dust everything to kill time. My bill is only $159. Maybe I should raise my prices 😂🤣
BINGO!! This worked on my Heat N Glo Grand-i35 LP gas fireplace insert...AMAZING. THANK YOU!!!!!
Same @#$% problem and is giving the landlord fits. Where's my hammer? ok, screwdriver but ready for a mallet by now. Stand by ....
Thank you! This resolved my issue. Heat and Glo 6000 and just took a few taps. I had to turn it on and off a few times and tap the valve each time to get it to open on its own.
You’ve got to be kidding me! I worked cleaning my H & G all morning and it won’t work. I watch this and wack the side gently with a screw driver like this expert said and it came on immediately! 😳 I’ve always known that when you have a hammer, everything’s a nail. Thanks for the fix! Simply incredible. 👍
This is why I get paid the big bucks 🤣😂
Thank you for posting this video, I just attempted to light my Heat & Glo 6000 for the first time this season. The pilot lit but the fireplace would not light. Followed your directions and after several taps with the screwdriver I was about to give up and suddenly it lit. I cannot thank you enough for posting this!
I can’t believe this worked!!! Thank you!!!
Sometimes it's that simple. Glad it worked for you.
Thank you! My fireplace is a Majestic Ruby series Insert not a heatilator however I could not get a service call until January so I found your video and thought I would give this a try anyway and this worked exactly as you have shown for my Majestic insert as well. Thanks again for the solution and for saving me what the technician said would most likely cost $495.00 to fix!
I'm glad it worked out for you. Majestic was bought by Hearth and Home Technologies which also makes Heat N Glo and Heatilator. Their valves and control boards are interchangeable among the three brands.
You saved me hundreds of dollars. I was about to give up when I found your video. Thank you!
Thank you! Here we are in October and unable to get service call for the fireplace until January. Found your video and your solution worked exactly as shown. Thanks again!
I'm glad this helped.
That worked for me. Thank you!
This was hugely valuable! I was about to call a repair guy until I came across your video. You saved me the hassle and expense of finding someone to come out to my place.
Glad to help.
I have been in my house 3 years this month! It was fixed when I bought the house but I waited until the Fall to use it. It would not light across. Two of my neighbors have the same problem. After hours of combing through the internet, I found your video!! It lit right up and I spread the word to my neighbors! Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found this helpful.
Exactly the problem I was having. Proper voltage at the solenoid and about 58ohms resistance across it so everything seemed right. Just took about 3 sharp taps.
Your's was really stuck. Glad you fixed it.
Thank you!!!
Oh my goodness it worked you Rock Thanks so much for posting!!!!!!!!!
Glad to help.
Are you really fixing it? Bad solenoid, why not replace valve?
I used to replace them, but realized that the solenoid was not bad, the plunger was just getting stuck from lack of use. The valve replacement was around $300. Smacking it was saving the customer money. The valve can be replaced but I didn't feel it was in the best financial interest of the customer.
Russian components, American components...... all made in Taiwan! you smacking it reminded me of the scene from Armageddon at the end of the movie with the Russian cosmonaut smacking the engine with the wrench to make it work lol
Whatever works, right?
excellent video. I had the same problem and this video was my solution. I am very grateful
Glad this helped you get it working.
Amazing!!! Solved the problem. Thank you!
Glad it helped
You are the man! I tapped mine and poof it light up. Thank you
Weird, isn't it? I'm glad it worked out for you.
Wow old school Radio Shack meter. 👍👍
Work like a charm!
Ha! I've been cleaning the thermopile and rods for 30 minutes to no avail. I saw your video and tried thwacking the valve and viola! It works now. You are the BEST!
Thank you so much. It worked 👍👍👍
I'm glad it worked for you.
Thanks! I found that I had a defective wall switch.
THANK YOU! worked like a charm
Teach me more plz. I need all the knowledge possible. I recently got a new job and I only really know about the manual style fire places. Thanks for ur videos. I’m subscribed I liked the video n set it for notifications
You're the man - stuck valve!
My fireplace doesn't have a pilot light, it's a IPI fireplace and I can't get it to light. Would this same method work on it?
When you flip the wall switch, is there a spark at the pilot? When you remove the glass and flip the switch, do you here the gas hissing? If these two things are occurring, the pilot will eventually light. It may take several tries, but it will eventually light the pilot.
@@flueflame5438 When I flip the switch, I can see the spark but I don't hear the hiss of the gas.
@@flueflame5438 So I flipped the switch and I can see the spark. So should I take off the glass?
@@jop003 The only way to verify the gas is coming out is to remove the glass and listen for a faint hissing sound.
@@flueflame5438 okay
Thank you! Just what I needed
Currently have a unit with a stand alone pilot/remote. Valve lights, but when burner lights it will go out within a few seconds. Will automatically relight then go out. Was staying on for a bit. Then same issues. Thermocouple??
If your system has a pilot flame that stays on all the time, then your problem is probably the thermopile. The thermocouple only controls the pilot flame. If your pilot flame is staying on, the problem is not the thermocouple. I would start with cleaning out the pilot orifice and see if the problem goes away.
Worked like a charm, exactly like shown on video. A few taps with screwdriver and the unit lit right up. Thank you!
Just remember ...The other side of every tool is a hammer...😀 I have never had to do this tho mine does get stuck every 3 years...I cycle it on and off 20 or 30 times and that has always worked for mine....Eventually tho I may need the hammer.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Thank you for posting this!! I had the same issue and this was the fix. Thanks!
Sonofagun, the screwdriver did the trick! Thanks!
I call it Percussive Maintenance. Glad it worked out.
I have a Heat & Glow 6000G with electronic ignition and the pilot won't light, nothing has changed since last fall when the unit ran fine
Do you see a spark at the pilot?
@@flueflame5438 no, usually hear a clicking as well
@@wfeierday The clicking or ticking sound is the spark igniter attempting to light the pilot. You may need to remove the glass and check the pilot assembly for any obstruction. Having the glass off will give you the opportunity to clear away any lava rock or glowing embers that may be preventing the spark from reaching the gas coming out of the pilot. You may also be able to hear a faint hissing sound if gas is coming out of the pilot when the wall switch is turned on. If you hear hissing and see spark at the pilot, the pilot will soon light after the air gets pushed out of the line and gas reaches the pilot.
