Gas Fireplace Shuts Off

Gas fireplace shuts itself off.

Gas fireplace shuts off.

The flame lifts away from the thermocouple and causes the temperature on the tip of the thermocouple to drop. 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. Why does my gas fireplace go out after only a few minutes of running. Once you are done with that you need to put the key back into the keyhole if you want to adjust.

After that you need to insert the butane lighter into the gas tube. Repair or replace the blower if your fireplace has one to get rid of grinding or shrieking. Gas fireplace shuts off and pilot goes out. I have a gas fireplace natural gas that shuts itself off the pilot too after it operates for about an hour.

Clean the burners in response to roaring sounds. When i remove the logs it operates longer for about two hours before it shuts down. However after a minute or so the whole thing shuts down. If you get dust in the pilot assembly and the pilot needs to be cleaned out it produces a lazy flame which will be disturbed by the draught of the main burners.

I have a gas fireplace. If you smell burning wires or an odor you suspect is gas shut off the fireplace vent the house and consult a professional. This is a normal part of the startup process as the water vapor in the air inside the firebox begins to evaporate. This in turn makes the gas valve shut off.

Each time you start your gas fireplace you ll notice some condensation on the glass. After it goes out and i attempt to relight it the burners will only stay lit for about 5 mins. Adjust the flame to counter low rumbling noises. I have replaced the valve the thermopile and over temp sensor.

This condensation will dissipate within a few minutes as the firebox heats up and the flames turn yellow. To start the flame you need to press the trigger that is on the lighter. The fireplace does not have an automatic tempature shut off. The pilot will re light without problem and the whole sequence can be repeated ad infinitum.
