The remote no longers turns on the fireplace.

Every time the batteries are changed in the receiver and transmitter the transmitter has to be "re-learned" to the receiver. To do this locate the "learn" button which will look like a tiny hole so you have to stick the end of a pin or a pen in the hole to press the button. Hold the button down until it beeps at you 5 times and release. press the button again and release and then press Any button on the transmitter.
Once the receiver is set into its "learn" function it does not matter what button is pressed on the transmitter because the next signal the receiver picks up will be the frequency it is attached-to.
In order to change the transmitter simply hold the learn button down until it beeps 5 times again which tells us it has wiped out its memory. Then press, release and press the transmitter.

If you want to check if your remote is working and you have a cell phone that takes pictures hold the remote in front of the camera and when you have a pitre of the remote press the button and you see it on the camera if you don't the remote is not working hope this helps (this goes for all remotes ) Tom

If you go to this website they can assist you with getting technical assistance on diagnosing your issue and getting a remote for you. Hope this helps. http://www.rick-horwath.com/Whalen_Windham_Combination_Electric_Fireplace_Heater_Manual.pdf

May not be the remote-can you turn on the fireplace manually ? May be electronic ignition for fire place.

try to reset the remote control follow this link http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-95622685483394/acumenrck-mremotemanual.pdf

Check to make sure your thermostat is set at a temperature that will turn the fireplace "on".
Double-check what your "swing" temp settings are set at, as this may effect how quickly the unit shuts off because it thinks it's too close to the target temperature.

If your remote needs to be replaced, the 3301 is available here:
Skytech 3301 Fireplace Remote
If you are looking to replace it, I would also highly recommend looking at Skytech's new 3301P2 remote. It adds a programmable thermostat, and a much nicer back-lit LCD screen. This unit is available here:

Joe,

The heat from the fireplace can have an adverse effect on the life of the batteries. Sometimes simply re-positioning the receiver to a cooler location under the firebox and/or adding a heat-shield can improve battery performance with the Skytech remote receivers.
As a test, you could even place the receiver outside the fireplace for a period of time to gauge the effect of heat on the unit.


According to the owner's manual for the Skytech 3301 Thermostat Remote:


"For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 115 degrees F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 120 degrees F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery's normal life expectancy."

Hope this helps!

To re-sync your Honeywell 8220 transmitter to the valve: Turn the Local/Remote switch on your valve to Local. Then switch it back to Remote. Within 10 seconds of switching it to Remote, you need to press the Flame button on your transmitter. This will re-sync your transmitter to the receiver in the valve. Replacement transmitters and valves are no longer available for this system, they were discontinued by Honeywell and they are completely out of stock. Monessen Hearth Systems (now owns Majestic, Vermont, etc) has a retrofit kit with a new valve, pilot assy, and remote for these old RF units. (expensive, but cheaper than a new fireplace). FYI, aftermarket remotes are NOT compatible with this Honeywell system.

I happen to have one from my fireplace..same as you use. No longer need it since had to replace my entire fireplace box. Let me know if you wish to buy it. Say $100 total (includes s&h for ya too :)--Mike

The remote works once the right room temperature is
sensed (66F) by the remote, This is a room temperature
triggered remote.However, if the thermostat at the
remote becomes defective, then there is no way that the remote will function. You have to do it manually.
