I have a Valor Eminence Gas Fire which does not ignite when i try to put it on. Pilot light seems to be going but no gas. Can anyone help? I habe dusted the interior as per instructions but to no succes. Thanks Nel

check and test thermo-couple -pilot properly aligned

Sounds like a bad gas valve

That is not normal. The gas pilots need to stay burning, need pilot flame sensors too for the main gas valve in the oven to work. Who knows how the oven is set up that it all seems wrong now.
If there were a electric gas valve, the valve would be on fire and/ or seismic shut off. If fans were interlocked, it would be on fire cut off along with fire dampers.
Why would anyone control a gas valve cut off with exhaust fans? Goofy set up unless there is more to it. For now I would keep the gas on, independently from the exhaust fans, keep pilots lit and a pilot light flame sensor for oven gas valve/thermostat safety control.
Keep your oven Fromm filling with gas and suddenly igniting accidently before anyone gets hurt or there is property damage.

I would check all connections are clean and tight and the earth as the inspector said . As I see it you are not getting a signal from the box to the gas valve to open So maybe the box or the power unit in the gas valve is letting pilot gas through and not main gas .

For (fire) safety, there is usually a thermostat that will turn off the gas if pilot light goes out.

So when you try to light the pilot you will have keep press & hold the pilot gas supply for at least 10 sec until the thermostat is heated up. Then only when the pilot light stays on continually, can you turn on the burner.

Forget about changing to a High pressure regulator!

Keep the pilot gas control pressed down for 30 seconds to a minute after it lights to allow the thermopile in the pilot light to heat up. If you are already doing this the thermopile needs replacing

Valor uses either a Thermocouple or Thermopile, depending on the unit. In some cases, it has both. And, yes, your assumption is probably correct. Some thermocouples are a part of the Pilot Assembly, which means you have to replace entire pilot assembly. If you check you Owners Manual in the Parts Breakdown section, it will indicate if it is or not and whether you need a Thermocouple or Thermopile or both.

If you're not familiar with repairing gas fireplaces, replacing the parts listed above, can be a little challenging. Especially if you don't have the proper tools. But, before you jump on this project, try cleaning the Pilot Orifice first. You can easily do this, using canned compressed air with a straw nozzle (like you clean your computer with) by blowing out the pilot tip. And while you're at it, clean all around the pilot assembly with the canned air. If cleaning the pilot solved your problem, you're back in business. If it didn't you'll have to go the other route.

Hope this helps you solve the problem. Please be kind enough to rate my reply to you. Thanks!

First, have you changed the battery in the ignition system? If you haven't this could be causing your ignition problem. In addition, the Thermocouple may need to be replaced to solve the problem of the burner flames going of on their own. That's assuming the pilot light is also going out when the burners go out. It would also be wise to check the vent pipe to make sure it's not obstructed in any way. As this also, could cause the flames to go out. Because there is a Safety Overload Switch, that automatically shuts the burner off is there is a gas and heat buildup/backup in the firebox.

As far as replacing the Thermocouple is concerned, this unit uses the same type of stand-alone Thermocouple, as the older DESA Vent-free gas log sets and fireplaces used. It's held in place with a saddle strap mounting and is fairly easy to replace.

These fireplaces are made in the UK and therefore, are more complicated to install, diagnose a problem and then solve it, than those made in the U.S.

Hope this has helped get you headed in the right direction.

Sounds like it could be your thermo-couple.

Valor Gas Fires

i have had a legend vantage slide control gas fire for about 5 years.this problem is i believe a blocked oxy get which is a failsafe device to prevent a gas leak.can be remedied easily by a gas safe engineer.
