In any gas heating appliance there will be a thermocouple that sense if the pilot flame is lit (lighted?).
You bypass this with the regulator by holding the button temporarily and that allows you to light the main burner. If the thermocouple is bad (not uncommon- they sit in a hot seat all the time), it will disable the gas supply.
The thermocouple should normally measure nearly zero Ohms on a multimeter; if it doesn't, it's bad.
If the thermocouple checks out OK, then the regulator has failed.

Napoleon Fireplace propane Pilot won't light main burner even though gas flows in?

  • I'm going to assume your fireplace has a pilot light.
  • Follow the little holes in the burner that lead to the pilot light.
  • Make sure the pilot flame is pointing directly at the closest burner hole. (adjust if necessary).
  • Often, you will need to sprinkle a layer of "glowing embers" in this area. The embers will help the gas travel to the pilot light and ignite.
  • Always start your propane appliance on "High" never "Low". Cold propane likes to drop to the bottom of the firebox and accumulate until it reaches the pilot (this is called delayed ignition). Keeping it on "high" will help the fuel travel over to the pilot without buildup.

I have a Charmglow ventless gas heater after it reaches temp, the pilot light goes out.

I have had a Charmglow for about five years and was doing the same thing. I called a plumber that worked with gas fireplaces and he came out, clean the pilot light and now it works great. Cost was $99.00

Pilot light won't light on ventless fireplace

Ventless Gas logs, Vanguard, VS30PR. Propane gas
Pilot light stays lit various times, sometimes for several days then other times for a few minutes. Lights best when temp outside is below freezing. Pilot flame appears to receive too much air. How do you adjust the pilot flame? Is this done using two screws marked A & E? Do you have suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed

Our charmglo ventless fireplace pilot will not stay lit. It started to go off including the pilot lite. Where can we find replacement parts for this problem?

I have the same problem with my Charglo fireplace. The propane company checked preasure and they even replaced the regulator. I am very disappointed with this and am afraid to use it. I have contacted Charmglo in the past and they were useless.
