Why does my gas fireplace go out after only a few minutes of running.
Gas fireplace shuts off.
Clean the burners in response to roaring sounds.
The fireplace does not have an automatic tempature shut off.
Gas fireplace shuts off and pilot goes out.
Gas fireplace shuts itself off.
I have replaced the valve the thermopile and over temp sensor.
This in turn makes the gas valve shut off.
Gas fireplace burns then shuts down pilot light works fine when i throw on the wall switch the main burner ignites fine.
The flame lifts away from the thermocouple and causes the temperature on the tip of the thermocouple to drop.
It starts up fine runs for about 5 10 minutes than completely shuts off pilot and all.
This is a normal part of the startup process as the water vapor in the air inside the firebox begins to evaporate.
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.
To start the flame you need to press the trigger that is on the lighter.
Repair or replace the blower if your fireplace has one to get rid of grinding or shrieking.
This condensation will dissipate within a few minutes as the firebox heats up and the flames turn yellow.
After it goes out and i attempt to relight it the burners will only stay lit for about 5 mins.
Once you are done with that you need to put the key back into the keyhole if you want to adjust.
The pilot will re light without problem and the whole sequence can be repeated ad infinitum.
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.
Adjust the flame to counter low rumbling noises.
Each time you start your gas fireplace you ll notice some condensation on the glass.
I have a gas fireplace natural gas that shuts itself off the pilot too after it operates for about an hour.
If you smell burning wires or an odor you suspect is gas shut off the fireplace vent the house and consult a professional.
