My Valor fireplace won't turn off with the remote

If the flame effect in your fireplace continues to stay on after turning it off, it could be due to a malfunctioning control board or a faulty switch. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the remote control: If you have a remote control for your fireplace, make sure that it is turned off and that the batteries are working properly. Sometimes a faulty remote control can cause the flame effect to remain on even when the fireplace is turned off.
2. Check the switch: If your fireplace has a manual switch, check to see if it is in the off position. If it is not, try turning it off and see if the flame effect turns off.
3. Check the control board: If the remote control and switch appear to be working correctly, the issue may be with the control board. In this case, it is best to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
4. Unplug the fireplace: If all else fails, try unplugging the fireplace for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This may reset the controls and resolve the issue.

It's important to note that if your fireplace is gas-powered and the pilot light is still on after turning off the fireplace, you should contact a professional to inspect the unit as this could indicate a gas leak or other safety concern.

Sounds like a bad gas valve

Most likely, you need to "bleed the line". The new propane needs to travel to your fireplace, but you have a huge air pocket in there now since it ran dry. It takes forever for the air to "bleed" out through the tiny orifice of a pilot light, especially if the distance from the fireplace to the tank is far.

• 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.

• Make sure your valve is in the "on" position and not "pilot".
• Install fresh batteries in both remote and receiver (remotes are finicky about good batteries.
• Ensure the switch on your receiver is in the "remote" position.
• Follow manual to re-sync handheld to receiver if necessary.
• A burner not lighting could also be the fault of the appliance (bad thermopile). Check this too, and replace if needed.
  
• Replace remote if necessary: Universal Fireplace Remotes

That Thermostat will not work on a gas fireplace. The voltage is all wrong. You need a thermostat that will work on millivolts generated by the thermopile on the pilot assembly of the fireplace burner. It will only turn on, because you opened the circuit. It will not turn it off automatically or at all, for that matter.

Better yet, why don't you purchase a Wireless Remote Control that has a thermostat built-in. It's a multifunction remote that will work up to 25 feet from the fireplace and comes with a wall hanger. The SkyTech # 3301TH, should work well for you. http://www.skytechsystem.com/

Normally, it comes programed. Before trying to reprogram it ...First, be sure you have the leads from the black receiver box connected to the proper terminals on the control valve of your gas fireplace. Secondly, be sure ALL the batteries are installed properly (i.e. facing the right direction). Do you get a beep when you press the Mode button on the hand held remote? If you do, the problem is some where else.

If you gas fireplace has a rocker switch in the control compartment that was used to turn the burner on and off ... Is it a 2 position switch or a 3 position switch? If it's a 2 position switch, be sure it's in the ON position. If it's a 3 position switch, it should be in the middle position. Is the gas control valve knob turned from Pilot to the ON position? Is your Pilot Light burning? It has to be for the remote control to work.

To test the whether or not the remote is connected properly, push the slide switch on the front of the black receiver box to the ON position. If you pilot is burning and the control knob for the burner is in the ON position, the burner should then light. If it doesn't then I suspect the wiring from the black receiver box to the control valve is not connected to the proper terminals. Or a rocker switch is in the wrong position. If all this fails contact SkyTech Technical Service @ 888-672-8929.

Ist the thermocouple make sure the bimetalic

strip is over flame or blocked jet , clean with thin wire or jet cleaner

Do you have a remote that turns the unit on and off
and has different heat settings? Could be the batteries are bad in remote
