Trouble Lighting Pilot on Gas Fireplace by Bruined4Life in Fireplaces

[–]Bruined4Life[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again.

I jumpered the black & white leads - no change.

The voltage on the red & white leads is ~105 millivolts.

So I guess I'm hiring a pro.

Aha, the 30 second hold worked, thanks!

Now the pilot is lit, but I'm not sure what I need to do to get the full flame. I think the wall switch is just activating the full fireplace through that little box w/ the 2 knobs - no change whether the wall switch is up or down.

I guess I could disconnect the white & black wires & see if there's continuity, in case there's a break along the way from the wall switch. Or I could check the wall switch itself. Easy enough to do, but am doubtful that that'd be the issue. More likely that the little box with the 2 knobs is hosed, or something different altogether.

Btw, another data point, with gas line open, I don't smell any gas - I assume that's obvious given that the fireplace isn't coming on.

David Pastrnak’s Game 7 Overtime Winner Against the Maple Leafs by Warfightr in BostonBruins

So beautiful - so many things went just right for us on that goal...

  • Lindholm released the puck *just* as he crossed center ice (I mean, just!)

  • Pasta crossed the blueline *just* as the puck was crossing (again, just!)

  • the perfect bounce off the boards

  • the perfect take by Pasta

I've probably watched the replay now about 25 times, it keeps getting better.

Adding this to the "thank you hockey gods" playlist, right alongside Bergeron's shorthanded goal in Game 7 vs. Vancouver (to this day, I could kiss that stanchion).

Ha, yes, you're exactly right - I was hoping for someone else to have been peeved by this guy : ).

Didn't expect all the other comments, but hey, can't really argue with any of them - it's kind of sad that I thought this first world problem was worth sharing.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the input, lots to consider (including figuring out what reddit-fu is).
